Today I've been doing two swaps that I'm in! The first is a circle journal swap on Bubbly Funk and the theme was 'Public Art' in your local area so off I went to Ealing!!


The second swap is a Calico Dolly swap on UKS which has caused a bit of head scratching at times. This is the second to last bit and was 'Accessories' so I made a top hat and some wings, as seen in the photo!

This is how she now looks from the front -

and this is my efforts from the back!!

The next (and last) doll I get will need 'beads and embellishments' so I'm on a bit more familiar ground there!! Now to get them wrapped up and ready to post. I'm keeping my fingers very tightly crossed because I think mine plus a couple more, are holed up somewhere, so watch this space!!!

This week's challenge on 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' was to use a Christmas song or carol. I used a stamp with 'have yourself a merry little christmas ' and three trees on, and made the following card!

Here's this week's card for Hazels Christmas challenge! The theme is to use circles, so I managed two!!! I glued the circles on to the vellum background and it's looking a bit 'crinkly' so I hope it dries flatter!! Maybe I should have used glue dots?? I then stickled round the outside of the circles, on the snow and in the corners, but it doesn't show up very well in the photo!!

Another week for the Craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge!! This week's theme was Christmas foliage and/or flowers. Once again I used papers and toppers from my favourite 'Making Cards'!! I'm getting quite a collection of Christmas cards now!

Here we are again with this week's card for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' The theme was for a square card, so the sky's the limit!!! This one was done using papers from Making Cards, which I love!! We've been doing a circle journal on Bubbly Funk for a few months now, and some of the girls wanted to see what we've been doing!! I thought if it's on my blog they have a choice of whether to look or not. Some like to have a surprise when it gets back to them! This double layout is the one I posted yesterday and it is Chrissie's 'A Magical Christmas' Hope she likes it!!

See you again next week, hopefully!!!!

Hello again! This week Hazel's Christmas challenge has moved on from gold and is now silver!! I used a silver backing which actually has trees embossed on (not very clear!!) I kept it plain and simple with three trees in green and silver and a silver sentiment. Another one for the collection!!

I've been wanting to have a go at journalling for ages!! I bought a book last May, just after the BF retreat, but it took a while to do anything with it!! I'm hoping to get lots of inspiration this May - be warned Kaz!!! Anyway here are my first two pages. I've just finished the first one, and did the second a while age but didn't get around to blogging it!! Any constructive criticism welcome!!!!!
