A 'Cracker' of a new release - Gingerbabies Hula Hoops

It's Friday so there is a new release and freebie at StampFairy called Gingerbabies Hula Hoops.

Every year I pledge to make my own Christmas Crackers.  Every year I give in and buy them.

It is so much effort to collate all the components (hats, snaps, jokes and the added pressure I put on myself to insert personalised gifts for each individual).

But this year, I am going to make the effort.  When I saw this circular image I thought it was was perfect for decorating my first one.  I'm hoping to make more over the next few weeks so I have enough in time for Christmas.  

Well, that's the plan anyway.

Either that, or we'll all have to fight over who gets this one!

Here's a preview of the set being released today:


    I've been inspired by:
    • The Crafty Pad - Scraptastic (diff scraps from the same paper set for covering the red cracker)
    • I Love Promarkers - What's Cooking (gingerbread man)
    • Creative Card Crew - Trees (on the backing paper)
    Happy Crafting
