Back to Quilling

Staying out of the heat and doing some cardmaking today.
I used some free paper from "Creative Cardmaking" magazine, by Hunkydory Crafts Ltd.
Quilled roses and ribbons are ideal for these old fashioned sentiments .

Celebrating a Baby Arrival.

Yes our grandson has arrived and I made this card for the new parents. A lovely way to start the New Year.
Also I see I have reached 100 followers! Thanks to all those who have joined the list.

Seasons Greetings!

I wanted to take a photo of my quilled 3D angel by candlelight to use as a Christmas card this year..

My husband helped me work out the camera settings  and how we could place the candle to get the reflected light onto the angel.
All in all I'm pleased with the way it turned out

The Magi

Part of the story of Christmas, this is my simple design of the Magi using quilling and stickers.
We do not really know if there were 3 or 4 or more.  Maybe there was a whole caravan of camels and people.  I like to think the 3 represent all the others on the journey including us.
Maybe I  should have kept this to post on Twelfth Night

Shine a Light

Love candles at Christmas.
I like putting a red one on my table with fresh red Australian native flowers around the base

A card a day for Christmas countdown

Candle and gum blossom

Baubles and Buttons

 My button tree card - recycled paper and buttons.

Christmas bauble with quilled fringed flowers and matching red bling to hang on a tree.
Good news for me is I have finished my present shopping for the family and once presents are wrapped and put away I can concentrate on organising a baby shower for my daughter.
