Show and Tell

Hello there.... I did say hopefully back to normal so the fact I'm writing this blog post late on a Friday evening is as normal as it's gonna be for the moment!!!
Apologies for harking back to Christmas but I wanted to share with you the gifts I made for James's classmates and teachers before the end of term...... I decided to follow Yaineas tutorial here and try my hand at decorating candles with Lawn Fawn stamps....

I found using solid images easier to start with and I just loved how they turned out..... Needless to say lots of people had decorated candles this year for Christmas... Lol :0)

Next are the edible gifts for the youngsters and We R Memory keepers made life easier for me this year by bringing out the gift bag and candy box punch board… perfect for sweets on the inside and decorating the outside with Lawn Fawn and Paper Smooches stamps.....

 

And a group shot.....

I was over the moon to find the mini gingerbread men..... perfect size for the candy boxes and I love how adding a window to the gift bags made them more like sweetie packets too :0) All three gifts can be adapted for different occasions just by changing up the stamps you use..... Don't forget Valentines Day is just around the corner *wink*

That's all from me, thank you for your lovely comments..... it's so nice to know you're all still there and I'm gradually catching up with you and your crafty places in blogland :0)
