Keepsakes by design

I hope you have had a lovely peaceful Christmas and everything went smoothly, unfortunately we had a few mishaps not least of all our cooker breaking down, luckily the christmas dinner was almost ready so we just had to have our vegetables just a little "al-dente".. So at the moment if we can't cook it in the oven or microwave the we have to do without.. Over the festive period whilst OH was snoozing I have been playing with some templates for decorating glass blocks, which then lead me to trying to decorate some plain glass vases you know the ones you get free with your bouquets and floral displays. This is one that I finished yesterday, I used a 5" square glass vase, these are realatively inexpensive to buy but when you have finished they look really stunning, but beware it is addictived. I have been looking at mirrors and even my windows mmm. I bought a roll of  "Readyroll Static Cling Window Covering Plain Frosted" from B&Q it was £9.98 but y

Every year my friend and I have a long standing tradition of buying our christmas present for each other from the charity shop this year I bought some glass stoarge jars and to jazz them up a bit I thought I would use my cutter here are the results. So for my last freebie of the decade I thougth I would offer the "Biscuit" sticker template but this will be free only until 31 December 09, the rest of the set will be available soon at Paperthreads Store or on my website . Don't worry if you are too late for the freebie as I will include this in the template set, which includes - pasta, flour, rice, tea, coffee and sugar.. These are really easy just cut in vinyl and stick, for a slightly  more subtle effect use frosted glass window film.

Well being one of those people who are organised, getting everything done in ample time (NOT). Yesterday I had to finally get round doing some christmas shopping - if truth be known I hate crowds so have been putting it off for as long as possible, however tomorrow is my last day at work until the 4th Jan I couldn't put it off any longer as needed to get get some pressie for work colleagues and so with a bottle of traquilisers in hand off I went.. It was a stampede and no-one seemed to want to be in the shopping centre, least of all me but I struggled through the crowds smiling through gritted teeth as I was shoved, jostled and queue jumped. The good news was I got 90% of it done although the last couple of pressies were well lets say desperate choices as I couldn't bear to be with all of these GRUMPY people any longer and was in danger of giving a few people a piece of my mind. Wish me luck as I go for round 2 on Tuesday then on Wednesday I have to go food shopping but I

Not done a freebie for a while mainly because of having very little time - but here is a wee versitile little template, it has dasiy cutout design on each of the sides. It is really easy to assemble just cut it ovelap and glue each of the sides together. It is then ready for you to put either sweeties, cupcake or just pop a led tealight into as a decoration - enjoy...  Download GSD Format                Download WPC Format Download AI Format                    Download SVG Format Download KNK Format -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My cutter files work on many machines.
