The cracker is from a pack that I won last Christmas.....I think they were from Which Craft in Doncaster. I haven't used them until now but I love their shape. I simply decorated using some inks, pieces of scrap paper from my stash, some ribbon braid, ribbon from the top of an old chocolate box and a pre coloured image from Craftwork Cards which I mounted onto die cut gold card and added pearls from The Hobby House. 
Please pop over to the main challenge blog and take a look at the wonderful creations the rest of the DT have made for your inspiration. We look forward to seeing all your interpretations of our theme 'A Christmas Cracker'.

Just A Hint Of Colour....

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I just thought I'd do a quick post so I could share some Christmas ATC's that I have made for the DT team over at
 CHRISTMAS CRAFTING

I haven't made ATC's for such a long time and had forgotten how much I enjoyed making them. I simply stamped the image in black onto white card, coloured the holly leaves with green Promarkers and added some tiny red pearls from The Hobby House for the berries and finished off with some Stickles to the tree branches.

For my card I had a bit of a play using my Distress Inks....which I haven't done for ages. The image is from Crafty Individuals.

A Paper ~ Pieced Mimi.....

Good evening everyone.
Today we are half way through our challenge over at
A Gem Of A Challenge
And our theme this time is 
Paper Piecing
And here is my DT card

This time it was my turn to pick the theme for the challenge and I thought paper piecing was a good idea but I must admit to being a little stumped to start with, but I got there in the end.
For my card I chose this sweet digi image from Pink Gem Designs called Mimi In Hat And Coat. I coloured the image with Promarkers and the papers are from Kanban ~ Deck The Halls. I paper pieced her hat, coat and boots. The lace, brad, spacer and pearls are from The Hobby House and the sentiment is computer generated. The large snowflake is from Martha Stewart.
Don't forget to pop over to the main challenge blog and take a peek at all the lovely paper pieced creations the rest of the DT have made.

Thank you for stopping by.
Have a great evening.
