Oh Christmas Tree

-

Getting into the swing of Christmas now. Tonight I've made a Christmas tree from an old book,  folding in the pages. I've brushed Mod Podge sparkle onto the edges, hot glued buttons and bows and used an image from Digital Delights called Pickle the Penguin which has been coloured with Promarkers and added Liquid Applique.
I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
Crimbo Crackers - Penguin/Animals
Quirky Crafts Challenge - Christmas in July
Truly Madly Crafty Challenge - Animals
Crafts & Me Challenge -Ribbon & Bows
Creative Belli Blog Challenge- Christmas in July
Lollipop Crafts - Christmas in July
Clear It Out Challenge - Christmas in July

Anything But A Christmas Card

Well this is not a card but another book turned into a Christmas Tree so I hope this qualifies. This is the last tree I had left over from all that I sold at the Christmas crafts fairs this year. I found that I actually preferred the larger funky bows but people still love the smaller bows that are traditional colours which are the ones that sell first. I'm entering this into a new challenge I came across yesterday and they are celebrating their 1st birthday: Sparkles Forum Challenge - Anything but a Christmas Card. See you later. Jeanette

Oh Christmas Tree!

Well I've been busy making more Christmas tree books and couldn't resist entering this one into a few challenges I found whilst blog hopping. Again, I'm not sure they qualify, but hey ho I'll give it a try.

So the christmas tree is made from an old unwanted book which I have given it a coat of Mod Podge sparkle but the photo doesn't show it but it's brilliant stuff and can't stop using it. Add some blue gems and black ribbon. The image if a free download from Pollycrafts. Isn't he great. I've coloured him with Promarkers. I'm entering this project into the following challenges:

Pollycrafts Challenge - Christmas Fun

Cards For Men (although I know it not a card) - Fancy Folds

MAWTT - Ribbons & Bows

Fussy & Fancy Friday - Anything But A Card

Hope you like it.

Book Christmas Tree

I've not entered many challenges over the last few weeks as I've been busy making books and Christmas trees. Here is one I finished yesterday evening.
I'm entering this into tow challenges - the first is:
I Love Promarkers - Christmas Tree...............okay I'm not really sure this qualifies as I'm not actually colouring in a tree but I thought I'd give it a try anyway - it's all about having fun!
Cupcake Craft Challenge - Two's Company
So the tree is made from an old book which I have painted over with Mod Podge, and added gems and ribbon and a star on the top. The image is from Magnolia but not sure the name and I've coloured this with Promarkers. Added glamour dust the the girls coat and flower soft to the boys hat.
I hope you like it.

Christmas Book Trees

I have my grandsons this weekend, so not much crafting going on here, however I thought I'd post these Christmas tree books that I'm making this year. I usually use about 190 - 200 pages on an average size book and l've decorated the edges with a little glitter glue, buttons and bows. The older books look very Victorian. Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow, if I have any energy left!!! Jeanette
