Ornament swap

I just finished my ornaments for this 2007 ornament swap and am very happy with them. Mainly because I managed to use a lot of recycled materials like the beads from a friends old jumper and the wire I took out of a broken Chirstmas tree light last year. Love the wallpaper I used - it made it to the final selection when I chose the wallpaper for my (nearly) newly decorated living room.

I used a couple of new dies I have just bought and die-cut the shapes from mount board. My die-cut machine is just wonderful. It takes a variety of dies and thicker materials. I am really only limited by my imagination.


There I was beavering away today and the plumber (who has ripped the entire ground floor of my house open this morning) walks past my desk and says matter of factly 'Oh, you are an artist'. Bless! If he was not already charging handsomely for his work I would have given him an extra fiver.
