{Stamping Chinese New Year decorations}

On Tuesday we had a gathering of friends at our house to celebrate Chinese New Year.   I wanted to decorate the house a little so had ordered some paper lanterns.  Then I thought it would be nice to stamp some hangings that I could keep from year to year and add to.

Taking the popular octagon shape as a base, I choose some stamps that I thought would look good together, they included; Artistically Asian, Abstract Expressions, Timeless Textures and Beautiful Promenade.

I made them "live" on YouTube.  Just wanted to share something I found out recently, you can change the setting of the speed at which you watch videos.  Click on the settings "flower" and click on speed, from there you can choose a faster running speed.

-{Jubilee fun}-

A few weeks ago I was asked to do a Jubilee themed craft table at a Family even in my town.  A lovely lady called Hannah took these pictures which have recently been forwarded to me.

Here is me demoing how to make the rose below.  I found the tutorial on youtube {here}

I bought 3 ply paper napkins, one was enough to make one rose.  I love being able to create something so spectacular from something so ordinary. 

Below are some cupcake toppers and cake bunting.  I've been making these quite a bit recently for friends who have had parties.  Such a great way to decorate a party table.
