Bella with Wand :-)

Hi all :-) I hope you all had a lovely day with your family and friends yesterday and found some lovely crafty pressies under the tree :-) I am writing this on Christmas eve so mine are waiting to be unwrapped ,,, so excited ! :-) My parents are here from the UK and Sean and Amy are at home too ,,, so we have a full house ! :-)

This is our last challenge of the year  and it is the lovely Dorte’s turn to choose the theme ,,, 

Z for Zoo Animals ! 

We also have a DT call ,,Miria and Kelly have moved on to pastures new ,, sob ,,,, but on the plus side we are looking for some new teamies :-)
The team are all soo very nice and after being invited to be a GD for the first ever challenge I stayed !! that was 3 years ago and apart from the team being amazing to work with it is also FAB to have a stack of cards ready for Christmas,, no last minute panic for me now !! :-) 

 If you are interested please pop over to the ABC Christmas Challenge for further details :-)

We are sponsored by Bugaboo so a fab choice of digi images on offer !

AND the Sweet Stamp Store who will be giving a $10 Gift Certificate

I used this very cute Bella with Wand image from the Wild Rose Studio.  I  have actually used a Printed Panel,, perfect for when you are pushed for time ! :-)

I used Bazzill Basics Peppermint card for layering and the DP is from  a Xmas Bella  pack. I added some White Flower soft to his hat trims, star dust stickles on the stars and Glitter Ritz Opaque White on the snow drifts and snowflake . The ribbon is from the Vintage Christmas collection from Crafty Ribbons and I added a few Robins Next Dew drops to finish :-)

Thanks for looking :-) Hope you all have a lovely week and best wishes for a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2013 :-)

Luv to all xx

Hi all :-) How are you ?? I hope all is well and your Christmas preparations are in full swing :-)

It is time for a new theme over on the Papertake Weekly Challenge ,,, 

PICK OF THE YEAR !!

so pick a challenge and tell us which one ! :-)

We are sponsored by our lovely teamies, Mary and Andrea ,, aka The Ribbon Girls so a fab prize of ribbons and embellies on offer ! :-)

I chose the easiest option and went with Anything Goes ! What a cop out eh !!! :-)

I have just bought this fab new Falling Stars die from Simon Says Stamp and thought it would work really well with the stamp set from the December ‘Everything Is Merry’ Card Kit and the Sizzix Bigz Star Die, I am really happy with how this turned out and I am hoping to mass produce a few in the next couple of days :-)

After cutting the blue card I sprayed with Diamond Glimmer Mist and popped the panel up on pop dots. I used Glitter Ritz White Opaque and Stardust glitter on the stars and popped these up too. I heat embossed the sentiment and finished with a  Hemptique Metallic Twine  double bow :-)

Thanks for looking :-) our fabulous GD’s and the DT have made some gorgeous cards so please hop over to the PTW to see them :-)
