Make A Scene!

That's what I've been working on with my Patchwork Pals stamps lately.

My order to complete my collection of Christmas stamps finally arrived and I was able to combine them all to make the gift.

I stamped a scene for the background, water coloured it and used a Xyron Creative Station to seal it with a magnetic back.
Unfortunately, the magnets were only strong enough to cling in very small sizes so I finished off the pieces with double sided laminate to give a cling effect.
So a scene can be made like this ........
I didn't have time to make an elaborate box but did stamp the lovely big Christmas Bonny and Bradley on the lid.
A bit of a proto-type really, but I already have ideas for #2.

I haven't ordered any of the new Patchwork Pals for 2010 yet. I missed the launch show and the internet doesn't show detailed enough pictures so I'm hoping to catch them next time they are on air. I'm thinking of getting the train ones next time I have any spare pocket money, anyine else bought them yet?

Happy Crafting and a Happy New Year.
