Gift Card Holder

I was expecting terrible rain and cloudy weather today and its glorious sunshine. I'm going to have a couple of hours sitting in the garden watching the grass grow. I have to watch it grow because I still can't lift the lawn mower out of the garage. At the moment only small animals could be lost in there but if we continue with the rain followed by sun combo that's going on at the moment I may go missing when I peg the washing out! If I don't post for a week send the troops in! Winter Wonderland has a challenge to make a Christmas gift card holder. I have two nephews who are now at the age where money is King and anything 'old' people buy is just not 'cool'. iTunes vouchers seem to be a hit so this challenge was a good one, I'm ready for them now, does this count as me starting my Christmas shopping?

 and the back
Also because I was having fun, I made an adult one to have in hand. It's a bit simpler but I really like the traditional red and green.

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme.
