Winter wishes

I send you all my warmest winter wishes to you all. What best that a robin as messenger for it! I have heard of very powerful messages by it from Scotland.

It stayed a long time after my son made his demand and my very good friend thought it was his father in law who came to approuve it. I never saw him crying as he did when I told him this story. As a french girl, I didn't know about this embodiment. Now, I look for signs.

So I made this card for my children who married in september as a symbol of a long life walking along together.

The new robin collection ribbon was perfect for this special card.

Have you some stories about robin? I am ready to hear you.

Wedding day invitation

Did you ever think about to make wedding day invitations? There is always a perfect ribbon to coordinate with here.

 I was asked about royal blue for my son's wedding and white and silver are really great to mix with.

I used Wedding day ribbon and some Fiskars punches (bird and heart). A simply folded card but with its little effect. In France, we offer to the guests some sugar almonds.

Have a great day!

Silent night

Today everyone is on the rush to Christmas time.  

Just a last time craft to embellish your table. Some crackers.

I used gift paper and silent night ribbon 

and  some gold organza ribbon.

Then I put them in my Christmas tree.

I wish you a wonderful Christmas.

Silent night

Holly night

All is calm

All is bright...

Love on you.

White and red christmas

What are your favourite colours for Christmas? This year, I am very fond of white and red. And as I love robin wood, it was the perfect match, wasn't it?

This robin ribbon "deck the halls" is just perfect. I like it with its hat!

I made also a gift bag 

with a scandi Christmas ribbon.

Do you usually use an advent calendar? There is a amazing scandi ribbon Advent pockets to go with.

Hoping you have fun with Christmas crafts this year. What are you doing?

Hi Bruce! Where are you? We begin to wait you. Take some rest to be in very good form fro Christmas and train you with your friends!

Do you know Crafty Ribbons have some pretty wool felt decoration too? A good way to prepare Christmas time... This is one of kits with ribbon but there are plenty others here.

Good to be in advance...

Do you prepare Christmas all over the year, 2 or months before or on last time?

For a cat lover...

I made this card for a cat lover and specially black and white cats. I had two. They were Micou and Sweety.

The cover shows anything except cat of course but it is a folded Z card.

Can you see now?

On the cover, I add a cat silhouette ribbon

and inside a happy, happy, happy ribbon.

Do you like cats or dogs?

I'd rather cats but my son has three dogs and I begin to appreciate them.

Cooker's prize

 I am sure you have cookers friends! Why not to congratulate them for their best cookies? They would be happy to receive a prize from you!

I made a special rosette for them with gingerbread slices around the rosette and and gingerbread ribbon 16mm. Gingerbread collection is definitively one of my favourite ribbons this winter. They are so cute.

It's just another way to say thank you! and maybe you could have more cookies...

What's your favourite cookie?

Sweet December

December is already here. Monthes passed so quickly. It's time to think about Christmas and all thinks around.

Today I'm wishing you a sweet December to think serenely during this period.

I used Ginger words ribbon from Gingerbread house collection to make this card and a very easy origami to do the christmastree. As I put on the middle, it looks like a pop-up card.

You could make it with children. 

Hoping you would have a sweet December as mine.

Christelle

A poppy brooch

 I think poppies are my favourite flowers. They are so beautiful in a field. I began to see some this week-end in south of France so maybe they influenced myself!

I made a brooch with hexies patchwork , spring ribbon poppies, a spotty large button, and a 3mm satin ribbon. 

I miss a vintage dress to hang it on!
