FaLaLa ... Christmas is Coming

Making Memories FaLaLa Christmas Collection

You know Christmas is well on it's way again this year when you notice the shops making space for the displays of decorations in the shops ... less than 100 days to go !!

If you are anything like me you have heaps of Christmas photos still to scrap from years gone past. Why not make a start on them this year, catch up and be ready for the new shots from Christmas 2008!!

Making Memories New FaLaLa Collection is perfect for putting together some Christmas layouts with basically traditional Christmas colours with a bit of fun thrown in there as well and with a great variety of Embellishments to suit everyone - you will love it!!

Here a couple of layouts I did over the weekend using the Making Memories New FaLaLa Collection



Layout created by Christine M

The 2004 Pre-School Christmas Break-Up Party. Seems so long ago :-)

The look on James' face is just precious ... especially now that they told me the other day that they don't think that there really is a Santa!! Broke my heart !! But I can always look at this photo and think ... one day he was young and innocent :-)

Products Used:

A Sweet Gift Idea

Now who wouldn't love a box full of lolly pops and flowers ... especially when the flowers can be reused in your scrapping once you have finished with all the Sugar!!





Project created by Bev Watt

For the base Bev has used a gift box from a cheapie shop but a
milk can or one of the lunch tins from The Scrap Heap with the lid open would look really cool.

She stuffed the bottom with tissue paper and then cut a block of florist foam to fit inside the box. They sell this at most junk shops or you could ask a florist if they will sell you some.

You then take some mini chuppa chups/lolly pops (these are sold in packets at woolies etc, they are smaller than the usual chuppa chups) and thread the stick through the middle of the mulberry flower and arrange them in the container.


To finish it off Bev added some larger all day suckers along the back. Wrap in cellophane and add a bow and you are done!

Bev says that she has also made some other similar gift ideas with different themes including other items such as little garden ornaments like a frog or a fairy.

Products used:

Green Tara 7cm Mulberry Paper Petals


Hope it gets your creative gift-giving ideas flowing since it is only .....

104 Days

until Christmas (sorry bout that LOL)

Thanks everyone!!
