Creative Inspirations - Challenge Decorate your home


Over on Creaive Inspirations this week we have a great challenge to make something to decorate your home.

I made a Tilda Christmas Tree Decoration, with my FAVE Tilda, even with all the MEGA Gorgeous new Winter 2009 stamps I still love the Candy Cane Tilda from 2008.

I stamped her in memento & colored her with pro markers, glittered the edge with stickles, & matted onto card embossed with snowflakes, I used my nesties to make the shape, ribbon from my stash.

I hope you all pop over to the blog & join in with this challenge, as usual there is a GREAT Prize to be won!!!!!

Creative Inspiraions - Non Traditional Christmas Colors

Good Morning All,

For my DT card I have used card sock from the paper mill, basic grey eskimo kisses DP, ribbon from my stash, Dovecraft greeting stamp & Magnolia Tilda with Fir Tree, which has ben stamped in memento & colored with pro markers. The inside has ben decorated, with the same papers & image.

I LOVE using pastel colors for Christmas, as it doesn't really feel like Christmas so you don't get that "Oh no not another Christmas card" feeling!!

I'm off to try & get warm as the heating is STILL not working, the man cam yesterday & changed the broken switch, but it's still not working so they are coming back today, wonder what time???
