ABC Christmas Challenge ,,, 'U' is for ,,,,, Under the Tree + DT Call :-)

WOW !! we had LOADS of entries to the Tree challenge ,, we hope you all join in this fortnight too :-) We are looking for some new members to join our happy band ,, so if you're interested enter the challenge and add DT to the link :-)

It was Helen's turn to choose the theme and she chose ,,

U for Under the Tree ,,, so a gift, gift box/bag etc :-)

We are sponsored by the lovely Heidi at Simon Says Stamp so a fabulous $15 spree to her store for one lucky entrant !! :-)



I made a Candle and tag :-) I love making candles ,, so easy to do and I particularly like to use stamps that don't need colouring ,,, this Fantasy Tree from Penny Black is perfect I think !! Just add stickles and glitter ,, a ribbon and you're done :-)



The tag was a quick and easy make too ,, I inked the background with distress inks ,, stamped the tree in brown and some Tim Holtz birds ,, added a T H ticket and a Spellbinders snowflake and that was it :-)
