About my project supply lists:
I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I've used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list. I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson, and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

A quick Christmas fix...

So today I've been at IKEA and the Metro Centre all day with my mum - we left IKEA with the usual restocks: new serviettes, new tea lights, new candle holders, and a lovely white basket for my mulberry roses (yes they needed their own basket!), but none of the other vital items on our lists. Wasn't that rocked by this year's Christmas stuff, much of it seemed to be last year's rolls now sold as separate ones and there wasn't that much of the kraft wrapping left this year.

But I do love my new tea light holders for my mantelpiece:

Red, purple and pink - perfect for my front room.

I also have a new long winter cardi from M&S, a dress from Mantaray that I think will work OK as a tunic top and another nice top to wear under my long cardi.

But no Christmas stuff purchased apart from the nice little Yankee Candle classic Christmas fragrances set my mum bought... and the gingerbread tea lights in Ikea.

So, here's the Christmas fix from the cards I made yesterday:

Papers: Basic Grey
Chipboard and stickers: Basic Grey
Stamp: Papertrey Ink
Buttons: Making Memories
Twine: Papertrey Ink
Felt: Papertrey Ink
Die: Papertrey Ink

I just love this new line from Basic Grey - the snowmen completely crack me up.

And for something completely different:

Papers: Echo Park
Stickers: Echo Park
Ribbon: The Ribbon Girl
Die: Papertrey Ink
Stamp: Papertrey Ink

I used some of that lovely wide pencil stripe ribbon from The Ribbon Girl for this one, definitely time to be decadent and have a huuuuge bow!

Loving the Santa and the Snowman :) Ho ho ho indeed! I must admit I wasn't that inspired by the selection at Ikea either. The only things that I bought were a load of jars to make some cookie/muffin mixes for some Christmas presents.
