My 2017 Baker's Dozen.

Well it's here the last day of 2017.. 

This last year has been a roller coaster of a year for me in ever way.

No long winded blog today but just a BIG *Thank YOU* to you all for your support,

comments or just peeps at a little of what goes on creatively inside my mind.

I've been blessed with so many opportunities this year and I thank those people 

who have believed in me allowing me to continue doing what I love.

Here's a handful of my favourite makes of 2017

and a wish to say Happy New Year to you all..

*Happy New Year to you all*

Crazy Flowers Bookmarks #2

I hope you all had a great Christmas whether you celebrate or not it's always good 

to take a break and recharge those batteries even if for just a moment.

The past week has been non stop with various events for me and my family

with today being the first day to actually relax and treat myself to a Pj day

before the festivities start all over again.

Here's two more book marks made and given as gifts

which I can now share with you all.

Just like before in a previous post HERE I stamped onto Calico but this time using 

both Crazy Flowers #1 and #2 designed by Melina Dahl from Rubber Dance Stamps.

Marking with a thermo-sensitive pen the width of the bookmarks.

Colouring with inktense pencils the ink was activated with sparkler sprays.

Interfacing and lace backing was sewn onto the bookmark then heat fixed with an iron.

Setacolour Glitter paint was painted on adding extra sparkle.

Ribbon crimps and wire wrapped gems personalised the bookmarks.

I really enjoyed creating these and know they were gratefully received by the book lovers.
I'm looking forward to creating a few more in the New Year.

Time to make the most of some quiet time for me now..
Have fun everyone & Stay Safe

I'd like to enter this into the Rubber Dance December Challenge

Wishing you a Joyous Christmas

I am over joyed to announce I am now part of the Paperbabe Design Team.

Just like Christmas good things come to those who wait and boy
have I waited sometime to be able to announce this..

I'm looking forward to sharing even more of my Paperbabe creations with you in
2018 alongside the multitalented Kim Costello and her creative Design Team.

For now on Christmas Eve I will leave you with these cuties.

Perfect timing for me to unbox this gift created using the Cute Nativity Set released this October. Now given as a Gift to two very special people in my life and gratefully received.

A reminder of the true meaning of Christmas!

Layering up the substrates and painting those sweet stamped out Nativity Images.

Here is a small selection of just some of the cards made this Christmas
although it looks like the Three Wise Men have already given their gifts
of Gold Frankincense and Myrrh on the card above hee hee!..

and with this I wish you all a Very Happy Christmas.
May your day be Merry and Shine Bright.

**Happy Christmas Everyone!**
