Secret Santa (NHS Workplace)
Although I've worked for NHS for 26 yrs now, I've never taken part in Secret Santa until most recent years. I've enjoyed this particularly due to being able to get crafty with my new Stampin Up tools and stamps.
Yankee Candle melts/oil burner with packaged melts:
Mia's birthday - party bags (belated post from Oct 2014)
Long overdue to upload some of my creations from October. Mia's birthday looty bags personalised using Sizzix little doll die and accessories plus Sizzix Alphabets (Big Shot die cutter). Stampin Up circle and scalloped punches as well as Stampin Up sentiment.
Doilies!
Having rejoined Stampin Up and back on crafting scene again, I noticed that mini doilies have crept in to card making/gift presentation. A fab use of them and I quite like the effect. I can't say that I am too stuck on precut ones as often you don't have colour/pattern choice (my humble opinion only). A recent visit to The Range which sells a good amount of crafting supplies as well as household supplies/furniture, resulted in me purchasing these 2 X-Cut doily dies 😎.
Back into crafting!
Well, after months and months (possibly years??) of not crafting, I've started up again. I've rejoined as a Stampin' Up Demo, initially as a hobbyist to build up my already extensive crafting tools/stash etc. This is believe or not, old news now as I rejoined early December and we are now almost half way through January already! Got lots of ideas in my head and really wanting to actually produce something!
