On the Third Day of Christmas

This is my 'On the Third Day Of Christmas' LO, for the 12 days of Christmas challenge on Janine's Blog http://angelgurl.wordpress.com/ do youself a favour, check out what everyone has been creating, Janine has links to everyones blogs.. What clever, clever girls...

The Third Day Of Christmas challenge centred around gifts. I chose to use these photo's of my children after they had ripped into their santa stockings. The journalling reads.. Christmas morning is always an early start at our home... the children are always busting to see what santa has stuffed into their stockings overnight... the children are aloud to open their stockings before breakfast time... In our house santa is just a bit of fun for the kids, they get little gifts in their stockings and the real presents come after breakfast from Mummy & Daddy....

So Janine thankyou I have now completed three LO's and about to start my fourth.. so I am grateful for the challenge and you for organising it.. I am really having fun...

Devine supplies included.. Basic Grey Printed Paper, Cloud 9 chipboard alpha's(from Spotlight),Heidi Swapp blossoms, 7 Gypsies metal tab(painted black), my fav ribbon of all time, Making memories crystal brad & black brads, little K&Co chipboard circle. and my Black Zig Pen & sewing machine.. I didn't like this LO until I scribbled on the chipboard letters, and I don't mind it at all now... TTFN Gillian

On the 1st day of Christmas

Here is my 'First Day Of Christmas' LO for the 12 Days of Christmas challenge, see last post. Thanks again Janine this was heaps of fun to make.

This LO was based around the Christmas Tree, This is a photo I took last Christmas of my Niece & Nephew and our three children. The journalling reads 'This is a beautiful photo taken on Christmas Eve 2005. all of the Cattell Cousins they have had their showers, brushed their teeth, In their PJ's and ready for bed. But just before they head off to dream of what they will find under the tree tomorrow, We took this gorgeous photo. Sweet Dreams Sweet Children'

The Goodies I used are: Basic Grey Printed Paper,Cloud 9 Design chipboard Alpha, Heidi Swapp Blossom, Cardstock, Wild Asparagus tab, and my sewing machine. Oh I think I'm hooked on this bumpy lace look thing too by the way.

Don't forget to have a look at the other LO I did below, I did them out of sequence. Maybe swing by Janines Blog and check out what the other lovely ladies are doing http://angelgurl.wordpress.com/

On the 2nd Day Of Christmas

I know, I haven't done day one yet, but I have done this one and I wanted to post it, so you could see it.. This is a challenge I am doing based on the '12 days of Christmas'. If you want to have a look at the challenge go to the lovely Janines blog at http://angelgurl.wordpress.com/ anyway the Second Day of Christmas challenge is based on special food that you & your family have for Christmas. And our family lives in Australia so we have a cold christmas lunch, as there are no volunteers to cook a roast when it's nearly 40 deg. cel.

so what treasures did I use to make this LO. MME printed paper, Pressed Petals Letters,cardstock,K-ology letters, 7 gypsies paper tab,shipping tags, HeidiSwappBlossoms,some lovely ribbon, Autum Leaves Stamp. I made the imitation Lace by using a scallope ruler, then punched the holes with my hole punch.

Thanks Heaps Janine for this beautiful challenge you have created, I have enjoyed making my first LO so much, and can't wait to get my teeth into the rest. TTFN Gillian :o)
