A big welcome to all of my lovely followers and visitors to my little space in the crafting world of blogland! I love colouring, drool over every embellishment and love to 'look' at papers (never mind using them) - some are just TOO good to use lol. I hope you enjoy your little wander through my creative world and would love to feel that I may have inspired some of you in some small way. Happy Crafting to you all and I hope you will stop by again soon!

The Hobby House Ch #3 - Christmas

Morning all - hope you're all keeping happy and well :)

It's time for the start of a fresh challenge over at The Hobby House and our theme for the month is CHRISTMAS!!

The fabulous prize is a massive £25 to spend at The Hobby House Store (postage paid by winner).

I decided to try something a little different from the norm for me and have gone with a pretty, festive cracker!  It may not be the best cracker in crackerland .... but it is my first try and, so far, it's still standing firm LOL.



I got the fabulous cracker template from The Cutting Cafe.  As the template wasn't quite big enough for what I wanted and not having any fancy cutting devices etc., I used my little ole brain to work out measurements for a larger cracker, pencilled it onto larger cardstock and cut it all out by hand keeping my fingers crossed that it was all going to fit together ...... and it did!!!  


Hobby House Products used:

Jingle Bell Charms (They really do jingle too) 
Ribbon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other Items used:

Wild Rose Studio - Wintry Christmas Paper
Marianne Design Snowflake Dies
Liquid Pearls & Glitter

Well, I really hope you like my cracker attempt today and would love for you to pop on over to the HH Challenge to have a look at what my very clever teamies have created and to enter your fab creations whilst you're there!
