I needed a couple of  either boxes or gift wallets for  money for presents so I made a couple of star boxes on my scan and cut.....shabbied them up with distress ink and gilding wax....job done!.....
still working on the crackers!

only 4 more days to the big day....all the pressys are wrapped and on their way to Santa....mince pies made...christmas cake brandied.....just got to finish the crackers!....
this is the card I made for my hubby...his birthday is so near to christmas he only gets to leave his cards up for a couple of days before our decorations go up.....

music mad my man is, so the tonic studio music collection was just perfect......
hope you are not too stressed or to busy to relax with a bit of crafting this weekend

November Rudolph day challenge

its the last challenge of the year at scrappymo's Rudolph day challenge so here is my card......

this is my first attempt at creating a background using brusho's....I have shied away from stuff like this but I had a lovely day playing creating backgrounds and learning how little of the product is needed.....I think I was a bit heavy handed on this one but I decided to use it as I loved the colours...
Have a look over at scrappymo's there are prizes to be won.

Christmas card club challenge 24...The Holly and the Ivy

a quick CAS card .....

I have used a craftwork cards card which is printed with the holly and the ivy music...apt I thought and a very old clarity stamp which I have embossed with WOW midnight sparkle ...its so lovely and blingy...doesn't show up very well on the photo....
The penultimate challenge for 2015......please pop round all the other girls blogs and see their lovely creations
