Truffle-tastic!

Todays's Christmas Countdown project at Creative Craft World is something a little different... Susi has been busy creating... but in the kitchen rather than in the craft room! Click on the link above to find out how she made these scrummy-looking truffles! :)
 
 
I'll have another countdown project to share tomorrow.

Time for an advent-ure!

Sue has a stunning project to share with you today as part of the Creative Craft World Christmas Countdown... a gorgeous Tando advent wreath:
 
 
More Christmassy inspiration to follow tomorrow.. and right through to the end of November!
 

WOYWW 181

Well, would you look at that? Turns out there was a whole desk - in fact two of em! - under all that mess. Who knew? :D
 
 
Yup. Stand back in amazement. I've tidied. I've actually cleared both the desks. Here's the second one:
 
 
A few odds and ends here and there that are awaiting a) transporting to an alternative room in the house or b) a more permanent home in the craft room, but overall muuuuuch clearer and tidier than it was before! To be fair though, the floor and all the other surfaces are still in desperate need of work! :lol: But I've cleared the desks and had a bit of a reorganise of some stuff and have now got space to set up my Cameo. Only I can't. Because, as I suspected, the monitor cables aren't long enough for me to move them any further across the desk. So I either need longer monitor cables or, as hubby has suggested, to move the tower to under the other side of my desk and get a longer network cable for the printer.
 
Either way, it's complicated IT stuff and I don't do all that stuff. Hey, I married an IT geek, there's got to be some perks, right? :)
 
So Operation Cameo is waiting until hubby gets home in a couple of days. In the meantime, I have been doing a teesny bit of crafting on my pristine, clutter-free desk (the results of which can be seen in my previous post) and I'm feeling tempted to set myself a little challenge to make a card or other project using only the pile of paper scraps that I collected during the desk tidying process: :)
 
 
I'll let you know how I get on. ;)
 
Thanks for stopping by - hope you have a fun WOYWW! :D

Minikit Madness

The title of this post is evidence that motherhood, and cBeebies in particular, has rotted my brain. :D (Anyone with more than a passing acquaintance with the Green Balloon Club will now probably have a song going round and round in their head). :)
 
Anyhoooo, all that aside... the reason for the title is the latest mini challenge at Creative Craft World.
 
The new mini kit is full of gorgeous fresh colours from Echo Park, and this is what I made with it:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I've still got lots of lovely bits left over to play with. :)
 
You could win yourself this lovely kit by entering the Mini Challenge... just make any project at least 6x6" in size and link you entry to the mini challenge blog post on the Creative Craft World blog.

Use a Digi

Time for a new challenge at One Stitch at a Time and the theme this week is an easy one - Use a Digi.
 
For my card I used this lovely Christmas image by Floppy Latte Designs:
 
 
 
I went with very traditional colours of red, gold and green and added lots of Christmas bling with gold mirri card and gold flowers and leaves.
 
Use a Stitchy Bear digi image to enter this week's challenge and you could win a prize from our sponsor, Joanna Sheen. Enter with a non-Stitchy Bear image for a chance to win a $3 gift voucher for the Stitchy Bear store.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Drunken Stampers - Cut, Crop and Die
Hiding in My Craft Room - Glitz and Glam
Little Claire's - Christmas
Paper Creator's Crafts - All About Christmas
Avadares - Christmas/Hannukah
