If you are just starting here Welcome to the ESAD 2011-2012 New Catalogue Blog Hop. WOW It seems like forever since I participated in a Blog Hop but with all the YUMMY things in this new Catalogue I couldn't resist sharing some with you. I have had so much Fun Playing with the Brand New Christmas set Beautiful Season available in wood and clear Mount and wanted to Feature this Beautiful Set I have made with my Wonderful Qld Girls. This little Box made from the Mini Milk Carton die is just perfect for popping hand made chocolates or Truffles in as a special Christmas gift. You may also notice some of that super Special Dotted Scallop edge Ribbon available in LOTS of beautiful colours I am sure this is going to be very popular.

Another lovely card I have made using the Beautiful Season Stamp set is this card Featuring the NEW Seam Binding in Cherry Cobbler.

I have been very busy creating some wonderful Gifts for Christmas, Can you believe it will be here before we know it.

We all have lots of little gifts we need to give and I think these make wonderful little gifts for Grandparents and family. Mini albums are a wonderful way for family to share in what your children or loved ones have done throughout the year. A photo and special little message from the children makes this concertina album a special momento to treasure forever. Using the Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper and co-ordinating the Delightful Decorations stamp set and Ornament Punch throughout the Album makes quick and elegant embellishments for your album.

The mini Calender has been made also using the Jolly Holiday DSP and Delightful Decorations Stamp set and Punch. These little Calenders make wonderful little gifts for teachers and friends. But are fantastic if you need to send a gift to family and friends Overseas. They are very light and can be sent as a letter. Using the Brand New Old Olive 1/8 " Taffeta Ribbon to this little Calender is very cute.

Thank you for visiting, Thank you for your wonderful comments and Feel free to visit again soon. You are now ready to continue your Hop by Hopping on over to the wonderful Leonie Schroder.

To make these wonderful Gift idea's and many more please contact me regarding the Upcoming Gift Idea Classes taking Place very soon.

I celebrated with my Wonderful Newcastle Girls Christmas in July, just last night and we all had a wonderful time with lots of Lovely gifts, Projects and Fun with friends. I thought what a better project to share with you than the one my girls all made last night. A beautiful Card box with 6 co-ordinating cards Perfect to be given as a gift. Made with a variety of papers from the Holiday Treasure Designer Series Paper Pack and Stamped with Images from the Season of Joy Stamp Set they were beautifully gold embossed on the front the Folder was filled with 6 cards, 3 of 2 different designs. The Chocolate Chip coloured card was embellished with a Baja Breeze Top Note Die and embossed with Polka Dots embossing folder. The Kraft coloured cards featuring 2 beautiful Christmas tree's again from the Season of Joy stamp set is completed with a bow wrapping around the card and tying in the middle. Both wonderful cards to make when needing to make lots of cards for Christmas giving. All my Mt Tamborine Retreat Girls (Here is a little sneak Peek of a Make and Take Project to be made on our weekend away, Places still available).
