Mini Bunting Inspiration by Nic

I always ask the Creative Team to create what they'd like to using my embellishments.

Totally up to them and how they think my embellishments would look great showcased.

They can create Scrapbooking layouts, Cards or any Off the Page creation they'd like.

Here's another great idea...Invitations!!

Nic did a fabulous job with these!!

Lots of glimmer mist, sewing and she's outlined the cute little flags so they stand out more.

Well done, Nic...I love it!!

Check out the super cute card she made too...

Thanks for inspiring us, Nic!

Tomorrow, Maz will show us her take on the mini bunting.

Stay tuned...

Wrap up of the "Christmas in the Country Art and Craft Show"

On Thursday I headed about 80km west of Brisbane to Gatton to set up for the Christmas in the Country Art and Craft Show. It's the major yearly fundraiser for Peace Lutheran School in Gatton.

A team of volunteers(mainly Mum's) work very hard all year in preparation for this wonderful event.

It's extremely well run and organised. This year was extra special with it being it's 20th year!

Quite an achievement!

Each stall holder must be invited and was there some fabulous creative people there?? Just amazing how talented some people are!

I bought some lovely Christmas presents and homewares!

Here's a few pics from the Show...

Loved this sign...

A few pics of Chelley Bean all set up...with Christmas lights and all!

The Felt Christmas trees were popular...they SOLD OUT!!

Here's my Mum and me.

She had her stall next to me...The Stamp Shak!

All in all, a fabulous weekend!

Great smiling customers, happy people willing to do lots of Christmas shopping!

You couldn't ask for much more!
