Happy New Year

Hello and Happy New Year.

I wish you all a very happy 2019. I hope all your dreams come true and it turns out to be a great year.
Some of what I am about to post was made in the final run up to Christmas 2018 and New Year.
The first two pieces of work are wall decorations designed by Adele Griffins. All white work. They took me a couple of weeks each to make. I really enjoyed making something bigger after all the Christmas cards. I had to use A3 parchment to make each one.


Below, are two gift bags. The round cameos are 3D. I used these for a small gift to give to my class members. Once again I had to use the bigger sheets of parchment. each bag is lined with a piece of coloured card. Those are the pieces I made at the end of last year.

 Next scraping. This is the first page I have made not only for this year but for a few months. Its a photo of my Christmas tree.The close up shows the vellum paper designed in gold holly. I sprayed the page with spray and sparkle before adding the photo.

Last of all, the first cards for 2019! I couldn't make up my mind whether to use a light or mid green backing card, so I made two! They are called half fold cards designed by Adele Griffins. The greeting in painted used gold ink. 

So, this kicks off another year of blogging. And crafty makes. Who knows what I will make in the coming year. I think there may be more scrapping ahead and parchment is my passion. I enjoy sharing what I make and you can leave questions or comments on here or Face book or twitter.  I hope you enjoy looking and maybe get inspired to have a go yourself! 
Keep safe and keep spreading the love.... every smile makes the world a brighter place!
Until next time.......
