Introducing Miss Mia | Celebr8
In 2020 I became a Great Aunt again not once but 3 times.
I now have 8 great nieces and nephews who are all just so special to me
First born for 2020 was little Miss Mia and look how proud her big brother and sister are to have her join their family. Sadly they all live abroad and so we are yet to meet little Mia in person but we love her and cannot wait for the day we get to meet her
I have used the gorgeous Celebr8 Heartfelt Collection for this layout which as you can see is perfect

Bright, Sparkle & Shine Layout | Cocoa Vanilla Studio
My #1 Daughter graduated University with a Masters in Primary Education with Distinction in June 2020 but due to Covid her graduation cere3mony was postponed until February 2021
We are just so proud of her and he dedication to teaching with the last part of her degree done through Covid so she missed very important in classroom experience but still came out shinning and with a placement straight away starting in July 2020.
After 18 months teaching she has a permanent position with Education Qld and is making such a difference to her students lives. They absolutely love her which I have seen first hand by teaching card classes in her classroom

Gnome Christmas Tags and Bon Bons | Couture Creations
Hi Everyone, Kerrie here with my last post as Guest Designer for Couture Creations.
I want to thank the Couture Creations team for having me back as their guest designer for the last 3 months I have enjoyed creating all my projects with their Deck The Halls Christmas Collection
If you haven't yet got your hands on this collection get out and grab some now it is a fun collection to create with and so perfect for personalising your Christmas gifting and and Christmas table decor.
For these gift card I used Couture Creations Snow White Cardstock which I cut down to 5cm x 7.5cm and then cut the corners off to create tag shape. I then created a border around the edge using a fine black pen. I also used the pen on the backs on my tags to write To: and From:
I then grabbed Festive Gnome, Winter Gnome and Gnome Girls Self Adhesive Embellishments and popped them on the tags. These embellishments are perfect for creating quick tags and they come with foam adhesive attached and they layered already so you don't have to do anything but stick them on your tags
To finish off you just add ribbon for tying onto your gifts
You can also use these embellishments to add some fun to your Christmas Bon Bons
It's as easy as popping on a Gnome Embellishment straight onto your bon bon
With Christmas fast approaching I hope I have inspired you to create some gifts tags and add some uniqueness to your Christmas gift giving and Christmas table

DIY Yarn Christmas Trees
Hi Everyone Kerrie today I'm sharing some DIY Christmas Trees that are so super easy to create and something you could do with the kiddos
All you need is some styrofoam cones and some yarn, string, fibres, some diecut stars and a hot glue gun or craft adhesive.
Make sure you choose your fibres that have different textures to give your trees some character
Start at the bottom add a blog of adhesive to hold your yarn in place and then just wrap the yarn around your cones. I placed rows of adhesive in 3/4 places going up the cone to hold the yarn in place as it is winding up the cone
Supplies
Hot Glue Gun
Happy Christmas Creating

Deck The Halls Envelope Mini Album | Couture Creations
Hi Everyone Kerrie back with another project as Guest Designer for Couture Creations
For this project I created a Christmas Mini Album using a packet of Christmas Envelopes from the Deck the Halls Collection, this is a super quick way to create a 4x6 mini album with the pockets already created for you
I started off by adhering two envelopes together back to back just on the flap, I just used the tape already there for sealing the envelopes
I used the whole pack of envelopes, so adhered 4 sets together and left two singles for the front and back of the mini album
Then you just slide the flaps of two sets into one envelope which will be the front envelope
I then tucked the flap of the back envelope into itself and then slide the remaining 2 sets in and just like that your mini album base has been created.
You can secure the flaps more securely by adding a little adhesive to to each flap stop them sliding around
I then embellished the front and the inner pages using a selection of Die Cut Shapes, Ephemera pieces, Patterned Paper and Sentiments
I also added a 4x6 mat to pop my photos on using Snow White Cardstock and finishing the matt off with a black hand drawn pen line to give some definition to the photo mat blocks
There is room for adding tags and/or mementos from your Christmas along with some journaling
I finished off with red ribbon tied around twice as a closure for my album which you can easily untie to open up
TIP- keep everything fairly flat to keep so that the album is not too bulky remembering you still have to add photos
I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and remember if you recreate this min album don't forget to share on your socials and tag #couturecreationsaus and me #kerriegurney
Until Next Time

Christmas Bauble Trees Card | Couture Creations
Hi everyone Kerrie back again as Guest Designer for Couture Creations for this card I have gone back to where I started with stamping and watercolouring
Couture Creations Deck the Halls Collection has these cute stamp sets which you can colour using Alcohol Ink Markers, Ink Pads or Watercolours for my card I have used the Christmas Tree Scene set and I have watercoloured
I started by inking up my Jet Black Stayz In Place Alcohol Ink Pad
I then stamped up my images using Cotton Watercolour Paper
I then coloured my images, I went for a messy watercolour look
Once dry I cut our all my images and arranged them on my card base and adhered them all using foam tape to give dimension to my card
I added some sparkle with Crystal Glitter Glue
