Noel

Hi,

Well i can't believe we are already up to the 18th of December and H breaks up from school tomorrow (he has an inset day on Friday).

We are also up to mid month inspiration from Penny Black And More, where this months Challenge is Traditional Christmas Colours and we have some super sponsors too :


Penny Black

Classy Crafts

Flonz Craft

And One lucky person using a Penny Black Image will be picked to be Guest Designer for next month and win a gift too. So pop over to Penny Black And More, check out the other amazing inspiration the very talented team have come up with, and join in the fun, but please do remember you can use any image you like, except Digi's.

And this is what i made :


And a close up photo of the sparkle - hopefully


Can you believe this stamp is 19 years old its - 'Noel - 194 F' from 1994, i stamped it up in Versamark and then added Stampendous - Crystal Embossing Powder, i've also distressed round the edge with - Tim Holtz - 'Aged Mahogany', i also decided i needed to frame it with something special, so i treated myself to the - 'Spellbinders - Timeless Rectangles' and i've teamed it up with some very old papers - K & Co - 'Christmas Cheer Holly Glitter Paper', the ribbon is from 'The Ribbon Girls' and the pearls are from 'The Hobby House'

The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :

Crafts And Me  - where Challenge No: 143 is 'Anything Goes'

A Little Bit Crafty  - where December's Challenge is 'Christmas Cheer'

Penny Black Saturday Friends - where the December Challenge is 'Christmas'

Winter Wonderland - where the Challenge is 'Ribbon And Pearls'
