Who’s excited for Christmas?! ME!!!
Isn’t this shoot and video by Love Me Do Photography and Tree of Life Films just the perfect thing to get you in the mood for this weekend’s festivities? I have an overwhelming urge to dress up as a present right now…
Hope you have a great one guys, I’ll see you on the other side.
This week’s super cute DIY project was submitted by Erin of BerinMade. Erin’s etsy shop is a place for fancifully hand-drawn posters and flamboyant stationery & paper goods and I’m honoured to share with you this adorable tutorial that she created just for us. These would be awesome for a Christmas wedding or even just for your Christmas dinner table.
Over to you Erin…
This little project is a ton of fun to make and has loads of room for creativity to make it your own! I think these little bauble wobbles would make very fun place names in lieu of tent cards. If it’s a Christmas wedding you’re having, you could make simplified versions of these and your guests could take them home as a souvenir!
Supplies Needed
1. Paint brushes and paint (I find gouache paint gives the most vibrant colours that give cheer tothese little gems)
2. Scissors
3. Pencil for sketching
4. Recycled round baubles (mine were about 7cm in diameter)
5. White card (at about 200gsm – easy enough to cut with scissors but hard enough so it stands up)
6. Super Glue
Method
Step 1: First sketch out your portraits in pencil, then colour in with paint. I painted a boy with glasses called James and girl with hairband and matching polka dot scarf called Jessica (they look like me and my husband, except they have a basset called Woof.)
Ho Ho Ho, Meeeerrrrrieee Christmas!
I’ve been feeling seriously festive these past few weeks. I think it’s something to do with a combination of The Spirit of Christmas Fair that I attended with my Mum last week (it was so FUN!), the fact that I no longer work in a job where we’re forced to sell everything as a potential Christmas gift from September and because I’ve been working with the amazing Sugalily (who also designed the Rock n Roll Bride notebooks and 2012 wallplanners which, by the way, are still available to buy) to design a range of Rock n Roll Bride Christmas cards!
Yes you read that right! Wanna give a little Rock n Roll with your gifts this year?
The Rock n Roll Bride Christmas cards are available for order NOW and are only available for purchase through my website. They cost just £1.50 each or you can buy a pack of 10 (mix and match designs) for just £10…and we ship worldwide! You have until 16th December to order to get them in time for Crimbo, but I’m guessing you’ll want to order them ASAP so you can then send them out to your friends and family.
I’m so excited about having my own range of greetings cards! It’s hard to pick a favourite but I do quite like the reindeer and the ‘merry kat-mas’ design!
I like to refer to this week between Christmas and New Year as ‘Crimbo Limbo Week.’ It’s a strange old time where lots of people aren’t working and the majority of the population sit in front of bad telly, stuffing their faces with left over turkey and Christmas chocolate. Time slooows down and no one knows what day of the week it is. Oh and everyone gets sick… or is that just me?
Anyway, I just wanted to stop by today and say I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and to let you know what’s going on this week. Although there will be less posts than usual, there will still be something everyday to get your teeth into, it’ll just be a more laid back version of the blog.
Tomorrow and Wednesday I’ll be posting a recap of my all time favourite posts of 2010, definitely worth escaping the rellies to pop for those ones! Until then, want to see what my friends at fabulous London vintage dress shop, Fur Coat No Knickers sent me for Christmas? Am I the luckiest girl in the world or what!?
I also got send my awesome Rock n Roll Bride wallplanner from Sugalily and a canvas print of one of my shots from the Paris photo shoot from Fernside Framing! (click for slightly rubbish camera phone twitpic…anyone notice Henry sneaking into that photo!?)
My parents bought me a new office chair (I’m still waiting for it to be delivered, but isn’t it pretty?) and Gareth is going to be doing up the kitchen as my main gift (eeek!) and yes, he has said he’ll do it pink for me (in the wallpaper below…literally so excited!) What an awesome husband I have.
I hope you all had a fab Christmas too. What did Father Christmas bring you?

Hello and welcome to my little blog. My name is Kat Williams aka the Rock n Roll Bride and my aim is to provide a little haven of kick ass weddingness in a cookie cutter, pastel and often puke-worthy wedding world. If you’ve ever picked up a bridal magazine and felt queasy or trawled the internet and felt disheartened by what you didn’t find well, my friend, you are in the right place!
