Christmas Presents!

Just thought I'd do a quick post of what I was given for Christmas as I've been so lucky.   I have had the original Ultimate Crafters Companion for years but have been wanting to upgrade for a while as I use it a lot for making card blanks, envelopes and boxes. What I got was a bundle not only with the Ultimate Pro but also with two instructional DVD's, the Enveloboxer, the Boxer Board plus the Sweet Treats boards and CD-Rom!

I love the Pro its really substantial and good to use, and I really love the boards, it's the first time I've used anything like them.  I love the storage for the boards in the ultimate, the paper cutter is better than the original and even the embossing tools work really well, which I wasnt expecting as they're plastic.  I will post some of the things I've been making soon.

I was also given a magazine subscription (like I said, I've been very lucky), I haven't received a magazine yet but the subscription came with the Papermania Vintage Notes paper collection. I've never had a whole coordinating collection before, its quite a novelty as I've always been a womble of a crafter just making use of the everyday things that I find!


Below is a carton I've made from one of the Sweet Treats boards, the card and embellishments have been printed from a different CD though.
