Drummer Boy Gift bag

Hello and welcome.

I almost didn't get this set.  I liked the look of it, but wasn't sure how much use I'd get from it.  However, in the end I couldn't resist, and now I'm sorry I didn't get it earlier.  It works so well with the Merry Music DSP, which is also one of my favourites; and when I run out of that, there's still the Sheet Music background stamp! ( Ooh - I think I've given myself an idea...) 



Apart from the sentiment, the stamps don't have to be for Christmas, but of course, today I've made a Christmas-themed project.  Can you believe how soon the holiday season's come round? 

For the purposes of the photo, I did go ahead and complete the bag but this is one of those projects that can be made ahead of time and stored flat.

Want to see how I made it?  Here's the tutorial.  (Did you know that you could use water to hold embossing powder in place?  Who'd'a thunk it?)

See you again soon - keep crafting!

All lit up

Hello and welcome to my blog.
Do you ever see something and in the SU catalogue and know exactly what you want to make with it? 
When I saw the Hometown Greetings Edgelits I knew that I wanted to make a 3d scene – and that I wanted to light it up!



My original idea was to make a tunnel card, but on thinking it over I decided that I wanted to make something a bit longer-lasting. 
This is how I did it –

One last thing – I used Tear & Tape to stick the battery pack to the underside of the frame but it wasn’t quite strong enough, so I added a couple of glue dots, which are holding everything where I want it to be.

And I made this as a Winter/Christmas project but you could change the colours and make it for a different season – seaside perhaps?

See you soon!

Crafty Hugs,

Keren

PS - If you're interested, I got my lights from Amazon UK
