I need your input

I have been searching the manufacturers for some Christmas papers to order in, but they all seem a bit so so. If you have seen anything that grabs you, please leave a comment. Hopefully I will get some stand out winners and will go with them for the festive season. I notice the shops are getting the tinsel and baubles out already and all the delicious chocolatey goodies that the kids (and me as well) love. I am also a bauble addict and feel the need to buy more and more each year, much to DH's annoyance. It's a bit like scrap shopping, I am attracted by all the pretty designs and colours, it is the same with the wrapping paper, which must match my bauble colour choice each year. Still it all makes for great photos for scrapping later.

New in at on the website are Christmas stamps and wooden embellishments from Kaiser. I am still awaiting the Basic Grey stamps, the first lot were due in this month but still haven't arrived!! Also on order a top up of Daisy Bucket stamps plus lots of new ones, a new paper range and rub ons.

Don't forget to leave your comments.

What a hoot - Layout

For this layout I have used the smaller owl in the pack of 2 and have painted it to resemble the one in the photo. The large chipboard alphas are from Bella and come in red and white as well as the brown shown here. The branch was drawn free hand and then cut out. The photo border was created using the Kelly Panacci Borders 2 stamp set and punched leaves.

What a hoot

These cute Owls are new in from Scrap FX, along with 3 bird designs, ladybird, pawprints and much more. Click the link to the website and take a look.

More Bella

This layout is my oldest daughter now 20 with my husband when she was just 7 weeks old. I have used the Bella Me and You papers and ribbons again, the yellow paper, I have stamped with the small Dahlia acrylic stamp from Daisy Bucket. The chipboard flower and border scroll are from 2 Crafty, I have painted them first and then applied glitter.
