Twelve Days of Christmas Layout

 Morning Everyone!

It sure is a cold and frosty one here!

Just popping on to share a family history layout of my lovely dad and his younger brother visiting Father Christmas at the John Lewis store in Liverpool in the mid 1940s. He would have laughed remembering the very vintage looking Santa.

I used Graphic 45's beautiful 'Twelve Days of Christmas' Collection for the layout. I love the rich colours of the papers, and although the image isn't sharp, I think the papers help bring it to life.

Hope you like it - I've added a little video about how I created it on my Youtube Channel Watch Here

Graphic 45 '12 Days of Christmas' Cards and Mini Gift Boxes

Hi Everyone! 

Today I wanted to share some cards and mini gift boxes that I made using Graphic 45's '12 Day's of Christmas' collection. I have very little of this collection left so I'm trying to be good and use up what I have to make room for new purchases! lol!

I'm also trying to get back into making some video's for my Youtube channel so have included a link to my latest upload at the end of this post.

The card dimensions used were from Alicia Mcnamara's 'Papercraft Secrets' blog - so thank you for this fun card fold, which is another take on the Gatefold Card.

As always there is lots of fussy cutting which I really enjoy!

Hope you like my makes!

Graphic 45 Christmas Chocolate Boxes

 Afternoon All!

I'm off out this weekend for an early Christmas meal with four friends. I really wanted to make them all a nice card but something a bit different so I created these Chocolate Box Cards which hold a 135g bar of chocolate inside.

I used my lovely Graphic 45 papers old (12 Days of Christmas) and new (Let It Snow) to decorate them and wrapped the chocolate bars in coordinating papers. I couldn't bring myself to use large sheets of the Graphic 45 papers to wrap the bars lol!

Anyway, I hope you like them. I will wrap them in tissue and fancy them up and I hope my friends will enjoy the treat inside :)
