Hello friends
Are we feeling festive or frazzled?
How are your Christmassy plans going?
Today's post is a festive idea using maps.
I designed these cards for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and also
recreated them to send to my special friends in Iowa and Chicago.
There's a full tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog here.
So simple to do, I found the map online and printed it.
I realise your cards are probably all made, written and sent by now
but perhaps an idea for next year!
Christmas here...
I finished up my city job last night although I am working in London
between Christmas and New Year, I actually don't mind going in as
the city is so quiet and the commute takes half the time.
Elliott and I did a big food shop late one night and we managed to avoid
lots of crowds. We've probably forgotten some items
but I've decided that's fine, we really have enough to last us a week
not just a couple of days!
We are still working right up to Christmas with Hope and Chances,
truthfully it's hard not to, we don't like to leave anything unfinished!
Keep an eye on the Pre-Loved, that's a job on the list for today.
I am going to be signing off from blog posts for a few days,
I'm going to be spending an inordinate amount of time in my kitchen!
This is an opportunity to say ...
Take care friends, keep warm and safe at this special time of year.
Morning Christine,
ReplyDeleteHAPPY CHRISTMAS to you and the boys.
Love the idea on your card so original.

ReplyDeleteHi Christine. A little late but happy Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOn my last cruise in October an officers wife was on board and she was holding short crafting sessions on Board. She was Dutch, so was very into her crafts, and we used maps to make pillow boxes, and other box shapes, cards and gift bags. Ideal when you collect so many maps from all the ports you visit.
I have used our own maps here to make male cards often using the recipients local area.
Your Christmas card is a new idea to follow, thank you. Xx
