Altered Wine Bottle - Vase
Here's something different to have a look at! I fancied a change so I got my bottle chopper out and altered this wine bottle. It's the first time I haven't used glass paints on a chopped bottle, I just used ribbon, peel offs, sequins and embossing powder.
I was so pleased to discover that I could stamp and emboss the neck of the bottle to give it a smooth edge. It saved me spending ages sanding it down.

DCM - Cut
It's that time again so here's the brief from DCM....Any theme goes, so for those of you needing a break from Christmas crafting this is the perfect opportunity to have a change. All styles are welcome but there MUST be an element of handcutting somewhere. It could be a greeting, a shape, letters printed on your pc and handcut, anything goes as long as you did it by hand.

Tagged Again
Yippee!!! I been tagged again by Marlou, Kathy, Juliet and Debbie Sorry ladies, I know it was ages ago but better late than never (worryingly i've been saying that rather a lot lately!)
Anyway, I have to answer these questions..........
1} If you could have £100 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose? Erm.................embellishments I think. I have way more papers than I know what to do with.
2}If you had to choose between using only stamps or rub ons, which would you choose? Well I don't use them much but i'd probably go for stamps as they last forever.
3}If you knew how to do both awsome cards and layouts, but could only do one for a year, which would it be? CARDS!!!!!
4} Would you rather own a Scrapbooking store or have your own scrapping room at home?? Theoretically i'm being given one of these right? well I'd take the store, sell it, renovate my already existing craft room the blow the rest on scrummy crafty stash!
5} Last but not least, what is your current cardmaking/scrapping style?? I don't think I have one style, I love to have a go at everything, although I have been really enjoying making my shaped cards for Crafty Templates (they're so much fun!)
Right here are the buddies i'm tagging.........(no particular order, i love em all!)
Emilia I've tagged her so many times now but she inspires me sooo much.
Sadie I love her style, so crisp and fresh.
Flossie Her creations are full of fun spirit, and she's such a sweety
Anna I love to visit her blog, especially when I've lost my mojo. Her work is so inspirational.

Crafty Templates - Design 2
Here's my second design from this months Crafty Templates pack. This one used the 'We Three Kings' template, I decided to type out the words to the 'We Three Kings' song and print it out for the background. I must admit, I'm really pleased with the results.
