Helloooooooooooooo peeps - sorry i haven't been on here lately, i have been a tad bit busy.  My latest make, which i am over the moon with, has been this Christmas wreath i made only last night.  Here is how i made it......all from the humble beginnings of a bit of polystyrene disc out of a pizza box (washed of course!!)




This paint is lovely - gives a lovely coat 


In the end i didn't use old book pages - i used a page of music which i thought looked more christmassy 


I used this paper collection for the leaves as i didn't want the leaves to be 'flat' and boring 


These dies are brilliant - they are from X cut and they cut really really well - i used the flower set for the poinsettas 


Starting to come together - I used PVA glue to attach the leaves 


Here are the flowers and mistletoe before they were embossed.  I used Tim holtz Distress Ink and Gold embossing powder by Papermania 





All ready to be assembled and here is the finished article........Hope you like? I do.  I am VERY proud of this xx
