Merry Christmas

Good morning all,
I trust you are all enjoying the festive period. We had a lovely Christmas and I had the most adorable surprise Christmas present from my darling husband, a 20 week old Birman kitten. We have called her Rosie. I will post a photo in the next few days. She has settled in brilliantly with our other three.

This week we have a new challenge over at CRAFT

Not A Card

Here are our generous sponsors

Stamping Boutique       Pink Gem Designs   

Little Darlings Rubber Stamps    Trimgym's digistamps, papers and images

For my project I decided to make a gift box for my friend's first grandchild who is due at the end of January.

I used the Pink Gem image baby boy -teddy and coloured it in photo shop so that I can use the same image on a candle when he or she eventually arrives.

I cut the wording out and the shape  of the pillow box with handle on my new silhouette machine .

The papers are from the Little Layette set by Katie Pertiet available here.

The ribbon is from Wild Orchids .

Nearly There

Morning all,
Well Christmas is almost upon us! For me the big question is will my new cooker arrive on Friday as promised!!!! My kitchen is still not complete but hopefully on Friday all will be well. Then it's a mad dash to get the house cleaned up and all signs of  the building dust removed.

Good Morning, Peeps,

   I hope you are all safe and managing to keep warm.  It's Monday again and as always we have a great new challenge at INCY WINCY DESIGNS

Our fantastic sponsor is one we all adore

And the challenge is

Christmas - Non Traditional Colours

During the summer I read all three of the Fifty Shades Books and like millions of others I loved them.

So when Krista drew this little beauty I just had to buy her!

As you can see the DP's are grey - they were originally blue and were from Stamping All Day. They are stunning whichever colour you change them to.

The warm grey is part of the co-ordinations range.

The image as always is coloured with Promarkers.

The ribbon is one I have had since last year and is one I have taken out and put back many times because I don't want to use it all, LOL.

The sentiment was made on my PC.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearls are from my stash.

Please stop by my fellow teamies blogs, they have created the most beautiful projects to inspire you.
