Morning,
How you all doing??? good I hope....Can't believe it's time for another challenge over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge....This time we have Charlotta (La Vikinga) hosting and she has the theme of.....
ANYTHING BUT A CARD.......
If you get a chance please pop over and see the gorgeous things the rest of the Team have made.....Here is what I came up with.....
I decided to make a garland for Christmas,so I drew a Christmas tree template then cut out 8 trees from green felt,you could make as many as you want for the length of garland you want......
I've then used some of the buttons from the fabulous Button boxes from Crafty Ribbons,gorgeous colours, I've used buttons from the Christmas Berry box,I've then added some sequins and fixed all 8 trees along a length of ribbon again from Crafty Ribbons,and to top off the tree a slightly larger button on the top of it....
Right that's me done off now to hang the washing out,down to Mum & Dad's to do some bits,back home sort dinner,go to the repatriation this time it's earlier about 3pm and the poor lad coming home is only 21 years old,then pick Katy up from after school Textile Design club,back home Dinner,and then hopefully catch up with my commenting so see you all later....Oh and I'll add my extra bits to my Candy which I haven't got round to doing yet...

nice idea:)
What a great idea.
Ooh, this is so much fun sweetie, and it looks brilliant! Our Christmas garland is very much worse for wear these days - too much of Vince swinging on it, so I may have to try something like this myself. Hugs Sxx
Wow, your garland is so cute. I love it.
Hugs, Uta
This is such a pretty garland. What a clever idea. Enjoy your day - it sounds busy!!

Love this pretty garland. Good use of buttons.
Hi Mandy,
Thank you for your message - it's good to be back. Just a bit of a mad rush to get on with the Christmas cards now!!
Still jobhunting...seems to be going on forever as I don't seem to have the experience in anything!! Oh well, something will turn up, it always does!
Love your Christmas tree garland - very bright and colourful (much needed with the cold, drizzly weather setting in)!
I hope you are well and will hopefully be popping by more often now!

this is cool! i think I might have to get the kids to help make one for us! xx
Seeing your little trees on your cute little banner reminded me of the little felt tree pins I made one year to pass out to company. I cut out the little trees and sewed little seed beads and sequins scattered over the front. I stitched little safety pins on the back to fasten them on with.
Thanks for sharing the fun idea! :)
Hi Mandy these are great what a super decoration for Christmas love the little buttons on them this is super.
