Hope you are all managing to keep warm here in the UK and despite the weather managing to get yourselves sorted with the countless lists of things to be done before the Big Day!!

The stamps were a combination of High Hopes and Molly Blooms.
The Winter Background is from Molly Bloom and is one of the stamps I got at thence back in November.
Beary Good Friends and South Pole Pals are the High Hopes stamps.
I coloured them with Promarkers and as ever added some sparkle

Well better go and get the dinner sorted.

Penny Black Challenge Week 127

All My Favourite Things is the theme of the challenge this week at Penny Black Saturday Challenge


I am also entering this into Penny Black Allsorts - Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas and Winter Wonderland - Winter Sport
So how do I pick my favourite things......hmmmm well it has to be the cute hedgehogs and of course snowy.  I then had the dilema that I couldn't just pick one stamp.....I had to use 3!!   The other favourite thing has to be freebies so the background paper and the sentiment were free with Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine.   Of course there also had to be snowflakes and glitter to finish it off.



Thanks for looking.

Christmas Cookie Jars

Hello everyone,
I bet some of you are enjoying an extra hour in bed.........for me its an extra hour to play!!!!

I made a couple of these jars earlier in the year to see if anyone would want to buy them as gifts for Christmas. I have got a few on order so thought I better make a start instead of leaving them til the last minute.
I have simply layered the ingredients in the jar,printed out the method and then made a tag. Decorated the jar with ribbon and the top with die cut snowflakes.
They make great gifts and are realtively quick and easy to produce.
Thanks for loking.
