Christmas Cracker

I'm back - have you missed me?  Don't all shout at once!!!!!

Whoever said that moving house is one of the most stressful things that you can do was certainly correct, I never want to do it again :-(

We've still got things to unpack 6 weeks down the line but at least my new craft room is starting to take shape and there's only a bit more to sort out so at least I can get back to crafting and my design team duties again :-)

The current challenge over at Fussy and Fancy is an inspirational photo, so why not pop over and have a look and also check out the other design team members projects too.

I'll be posting a tutorial for this Christmas cracker shortly so if you're interested in making your own either for decoration or to give a present in please pop back.  I will be holding a class on Sunday to make these so don't want to give too much away beforehand ;-)  Here's the cracker that I've made:

  8. Heehee, hey Sazzle.....I think I may have been the guilty party who made the statement about the stress of house moving! lol. And to be completely honest, nearly 3 years down the line, we are still finding boxes to unpack and picture tp put up!! But Im glad you are back on your blog after weeks of hard work. I love these projects, they are smashing. Ohhh Im sure you are loving your new craft room too. Lee xx

  17. OMG, please tell me that you bought that wreath as an embellishment and didn't actually create it with itsy-bitsy little punches!!! If the latter, I'm going to feel like a massive crafting under-achiever. . .;) Thanks so much for participating in Catch the Bug's Anything Goes challenge with Bugaboo Stamps! :D MWAH!
