Left Side -  Right Side -  I used a kaiser craft kit, which I paint and then assembled. Once the house was made it was just a matter of making and covering each of the 25 boxes.  On completion the boys and I added some of my favourite chocolates and then gifted the advent to Gregor mum (the boys grandmother)  Can't watch to see what...

Congrats to the winners of our November challenge.  Well done ladies.   Now remember this challenge runs from until the 31st December.   Our sponsor this month is:  Digi Stamps 4 Joy I have used the same twist and pop card and our sponsor image. I recommend that you try it, it is so easy to make.  The inside of the card, which I have included a journal section. On the front I use a couple Prima flowers.  I have made a few of these twist and pop card now and I have to say that everyone who has received one just loves it.   Now lets get our 'Craft on' Happy crafting  j

Our final challenge for this year from    'If you give a crafter a cookie'   And here is the yummy inspiration for challenge #84  My card:  I stamped and then white embossed the snow flakes on the base card and then used a gold embossing powder for the main snow flakes  I foam taped the flakes on to the base. Come play along and join in.  Remember to use the COOKIE picture as inspiration! (the theme, the color combos, the patterns...) and you can create anything your heart desires.  Our sponsor for this challenge is: Sponsor-Fabrika Fantasy I can't wait to see your creations Happy crafting J
