Frosty Festivities Blog Hop

Welcome to the Frosty Festivities Blog Hop. 

At this time of year I like to make a start on my Christmas makes. This year I plan to crochet some decorations and some present tags.For these sort of makes I usually find  free patterns on Pinterest.

I chose a tree design this year. After crocheting this "Granny Square" style tree I sprayed it with laundry spray starch & allowed it to dry naturally, to help it hold it's shape when on my tree.

I've also made a selection of these small stars to decorate special presents with. They still have a hanging loop so the recipient can use them as a decoration if they so wish. Here's a close up.

I'm now planning on making some bunting with lots of multi coloured stars to decorate our bannisters.

UKS Weekly Challenge

One of my UKS team mates, Nikki has organised the weekly challenge over there this week. We were challenged to use...

5 patterned papers

5 Project Life cards

mixed media

gold or silver

This is the page I made, scraplifted from a lo I saw on pinterest.

I've used mainly Fancy Pants Summer Fun papers & embellishments plus a cut file from The Cut Shoppe. The two tags have gold edging & I've added some gold mist splats for the mixed media element.The photos were taken during a reunion in Australia last year & suit the colours well.

Many thanks for looking.
