Christmas Gift Tags

These are just a few Christmas tag cards that I made this morning.
They are very quick to make, about 10 minutes each.

New scrapbooking page

Ill start this week off by sharing a new layout with you.
Ive used the moth eaten technique and lots of ink on this page.













Ive also used a variety of ribbons and lace.
I have used little green reign stones to create circles on my page.

A Special Wedding Invitation

A good friend of mine is getting married next year and has asked me to design her invitations. She is getting married at a wild life game reserve. She wants to keep the colours of the wedding natural so I decided to make the sample invites in different shades of green. I made two samples, the first is a large 750ml bottle of locally produced red wine and the second is a small 175ml bottle of red wine also produced here in South Africa. Each invitation will be in a little wooden box lined with straw and hand delivered.

I thought it would be nice to add a note in the wooden box asking people that were attending to bring their bottle of wine to drink at the receptions and to ask those people that could not attend to drink their wine on the evening of the wedding.

Pewter art

I hand embossed some pewter and put it on a
bottle of red wine. This makes a lovely gift
for special birthdays, weddings, engagements
and Christmas.

Cards

These are just two cards I had lying around in my craft room.
Decided to put them on my blog.

A little bit of pink

Two quick and simple cards that could be used for any occasion.

Mini Acetate Album

This is a few pages of a little mini album I have made for my sons girlfriend to take to her host family in America where she will be spending the next year. The photos are of their little girl Madeleine.

Heart Strings

Just a quick layout I created using a large piece of acetate.

I have not put a photo on this layout yet as I don't
have one that would complement this page.

Free Photo-shop or Digital photography course

Hello everyone, I just found a place on the web to do a free Photo-shop or digital photography course. If you interested just go here. I have just signed up (This could be a disaster for me as I am SO no computer literate) but hey, I'll try and see what happens.

New posts coming soon & the biggest surprise for me.

Hi everyone, Sorry that I have been neglecting my blog lately but I have been so busy preparing for my Christmas workshop that I have had little time for anything else. But I promise that by next week everything should be back to normal.

I was so excited on Monday morning when I opened my email and to my surprise there was an email from Tim Holtz (yes, THE Tim Holtz!). He had been to look at my bolg, then emailed me and this is what he said.

wonderful work adele, thanks for the link

I was running around the house screaming like a kid on Christmas morning. Thank you Tim Holtz, you made my year so special.

Large Christmas tag.

I have such fun making these Christmas tags, my kids think I'm mad making Christmas stuff so early in the year. BUT I don't think its so early. I decided that this year I want to be really organised when Christmas comes. I want to do as much now so that I can relax and enjoy the holidays.
Ink all your paper with black including the flower. add some reign stones to your project to give it that festive look.
Add lots of ribbons and embroidery cotton or string to these Christmas tags it just gives them such a rich look and don't foget to add a bell or two.
