Christmas in September?

Well, it was for 12 of us yesterday, as we spent a whole day immersed in red and green for a wonderful day of Christmas Stampin' Up! crafting.

Armed with the facts that it's now just 97 days left to Christmas (aghhh!) and the average person sends at about 49 Christmas cards (which is a lot if you make them), it seemed time to start our preparations and we spent the day making a big attack on our Christmas cardmaking.

Everyone received a fantastic kit of Jolly Holiday papers, Contempo Christmas stamps and plenty of card and trims to make all the 12 card projects, 3 other Christmas papercraft projects and much more at home.

It was a jam-packed day of festive fun too, with 'Christmas' treats for everyone who attended, Christmas decorations around the room, a tasty buffet, cakes and prizes to be won in the scavenger hunt and prize draw.

In fact, those who attended enjoyed themselves so much, they have asked for another Christmas workshop day before the big day, so if you missed this one and would like to join them for the next, please get in touch to find out more!

Here are just a few of the 15 lovely projects that were made on the day.
