Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I have had my family staying for the summer and added to some health problems I didn't have a lot of time or energy to create let alone blog.

I really want to thank my aunt 'Crafty Squirrel' for changing the face of my blog, doesn't it look great she also gave me this amazing display stand and once I started making little things to hang on it I couldn't stop, some I have cased and some I have created myself (the angel and the snowman) they will make great treats for the Christmas tree (Roll on Christmas)
We made the pillow box Father Christmas at Monica and Bekka's Peterborough training day in July isn't he great. I just love Elizabeth Shaw Mint Crisps and used them as the treats.

See the little treat behind....

And another........

I also wanted to share this card with you. It is called a Secret Message Card and I first saw it some time ago and then more recently on the amazing Dawn's blog ( an American SU demonstrator). I think it is so neat.

This is my version I have used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla card stock.
Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black Inks.
The flower is made using the Bigz L Die Fun Flowers

Open it up and your messages are inside then........

Here is the secret part... fold the outside panels backwards, bringing the centre fold forward and you can then split the centre fold into two revealing your secret message. Don't you think its brilliant.
