A Pink and Gold Christmas

Thanks for visiting today. Thought I would share what I did this past weekend with you, on Saturday I met up with a lovely group of fellow demonstrators from all over Northern Ireland.  Our UK manager Paula Gorry come over especially to spend time here and chat with us all.

We had great fun doing a "shoebox swap", I'm sure many of you crafters out there know what that is but if not, we basically all designed a card, (we made Christmas cards) we then made packages up for everyone else and include everything in our box to make that card.  Each box is then past around so we all ended up with 18 different projects! Paula even joined in with that, in fact it was the first time she had been involved in one. It was a bit manic but we all laughed and enjoyed ourselves, drank coffee and ate cake too. It's always super fun when us crafters get together!

I decided to make mine a bit different so I chose to make a latch card in a very modern colour scheme, I thought it would make a nice style to send to a girlfriend or daughter. I just loved this peachy pink with the gold. What do you think?

Then on Sunday, fully inspired by all we did on Saturday I made the little matching lantern.  I made my little lantern out of the Bakers Box, it was quite a quick make using the die.  I plan on making a more traditional lantern using the same die, so come back soon to see that. Bye for now.
