Snow...

 oh how I wish...its still very warm here but a change has been forecast.....


made using the new crafters companion dies and decoupage...I did have some of the original Tattered Lave monumental dies but these are much small...fit into a 5x7 envelope so I think Iwill use them a lot more...my excuse for buying them...

I hope you are safe and well and thanks for popping by today.

Merry Christmas...elves

 I have been doing a bit of colouring today ....


the stamp set is MFT ...Santas Elves...such fun to colour but note to self if you are going to glitter use alcohol markers not water colour to reduce bleeding into the glitter....

I hope you are well and enjoying your crafting, if you leave a comment I can come and visit you ....thanks for popping by today.
