Weaving Christmas Wishes

Good morning.

Well I have finally finished for Christmas, don't go back to work until the 8th January 2018.  WOO HOO.  I am going to practise being retired LOL.

Well we have a last challenge for Crafty Girlz Challenge.

Our challenge is Anything Goes / Christmas and it is just for fun to show off your creations.

I have done a Christmas card and at the moment I am in a 'weaving' phase.  I love those weaving dies from Creative Expressions and just can't leave them alone - hee hee.

So this weave is red, gold and cream,  I have also used Creative Expression round noble double pierced dies and the leaves are also theirs too.

My poinsettia is a stamp from Chloes Creative Cards range stamped and embossed using Cosmic Shimmer gold detail embossing powder.

Why not follow the link HERE to the challenge and enter your own project.

Thank you for visiting today.

Hope to see you soon.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Lilly The Dancing Princess

Good morning all.  Gosh what a weekend.  Here in Birmingham we had snow all day yesterday, just didn't let up.  Looks really nice if you can bunker down but otherwise very inconvenient. 

My last week at work before finishing for Christmas.  I was supposed to go out with a friend on Tuesday and Manchester on Wednesday, not sure about either of those to be honest given the foot of snow we had.  Now the temperatures are dropping.  Oh well on the good side I have spent two LOVELY afternoons in my craft room playing.  Absolute heaven!

We start a new challenge at Crafting from the Heart this morning.

Challenge 187 is the usual 'Anything Goes',

Our sponsor for this challenge is 

Moonflower Digi Stamps

I have used a digi stamp called 'Lilly the Dancing Princess'.

I printed her out onto watercolour card and then water coloured her in using my Tim Holtz distress marker pens.

I then embossed some turquoise card using a pin flower detail embossing folder from Creative Expressions.  I have stamped two pieces of card using Phill Martins Colour Cloud Decadent 

Teal and some flower stamps from Dreamees.

I have also used stamps from Dreamees to make my flower - Sweet & Swirly A5 Stamp Set, stamping and embossing using Phill Martins Decadent Teal embossing powder.  The leaves are from Creative Expressions. I then finished off with some pearl drops also in Decadent Teal.
