"12 days " a copy and paste Christmas

I`m doing the "12 days" a copy and paste christmas class (link blinkie in side bar ) and we have been asked fill in these questions to give a bit of insight to our fellow students just for fun !!


1.
It would be amazing if my house really was a shop like ...A Maze of Memories, my local craft centre !!.............................
2.
But at the moment it's probably more like ..a junk shop..............................................
3.
The best-stocked area of my house has got to be ...the dining room which is my crafting room.................................................
4.
But I'm not sure I would dare do a stock-take of my ....stash as there is far too much of it !!......................................
5. I could actually open my doors right now and sell off most of my .....stash come junk..................................... and I'd still have plenty left!
6. If I could go shopping in someone else's house I'd choose ...my friend Jan`s as she is a lovely crafter like me !!.................................
7. With the money I'll save by shopping at home for my supplies, I could buy ...yet more stash !!.......................
8.
During this class I hope I will get to 'buy' / revisit / finally get to use my stock of ..stash come junk and make something nice out of it !!........................
9.
The best thing about shopping at home will be .....de-cluttering..........................................
10.
Shopping at home will mean I can get away with wearing ..my old hairy dog clothes.................................... which I'd never dare go 'real life' shopping in!

Saturday 30th Oct

Last Saturday at AMOM, we had a lovely class in the morning called "Autumn Splendour". It was great layout using Basic Grey Pyrus and we even used bleach on it.......to lift out the colour of the owls tums.As usual I made a little card with the leftover bits.

In the afternoon was another fab class called "Mushroom Magic" and made four cards using different techniques with distress inks.I also made a tag and bookmark with leftover bits. You can also use the mushroom stamps by Woodware for Christmas cards as I found out!!


















Who said mushrooms are just for Autumn, what about Christmas !!





This is the stash busters template from last Saturday, which I did my Chocky LO from

Stash Busters Day

Last Saturday we had a "Stash Busters Day" at AMOM. How it works is: you bring in as much stash as you can and Christina gives us a project idea every hour or so to make with our stash if we want to.There is no way you can manage every project, but pick and choose as you go along. Also Christina challenge us to make 18 tags using our bits and pieces leftover from projects. Julie was the only one who managed to do all 18 tags on the day and you can see her and them over on the AMOM website as well as all the projects. I only managed 14 and finished the rest at home. Here are a few of the projects I managed, but the LO I did at home. We had a template to follow for that. Will post a photo of that tomorrow. Great fun was had by everyone !!

KIS Challenge " Charming"

This weeks challenge from KIS is called "Charming". These two polar bears I think are charming .I simply punched some holes into a piece of dark blue card and then overlayed it onto a white card, then torn stips of white card to make the snow scene and glittered the edges.The bears are from Woodware and were stamped onto white card and cut out and 3D then on to the card.

August Card Club

This months card club at AMOM was a "Poinsettia" christmas card.The ponsettia was stamped and coloured with promarkers and then 3D. I wasn`t very keen on the original layout of the card so did my own thing. To see Christinas original design, please pop along to AMOM website ( link in side bar)

Stars......

This weeks challenge at KIS is "Stars". The lovely fairy stamp is by Debbie Moore which was stamped onto white card and then overlayed with acetate stamped and coloured with alcohol inks.
