Bon Voyage!

Today is Heather's last day and we are having our last little crafty session and entering the Less Is More Stencil Challenge :-)

I thought this would be quite fitting as we will be heading off to the airport in a couple of hours :-(


I used a Make a Scene Stencil and sponged grey and blue inks to create the clouds. I made the sentiment on the Silhouette Cameo.


Thanks for looking!

ABC 'M' For Magical Christmas Challenge

Hi all :-) It's time for a new theme over on the ABC Christmas Challenge. This time it's the lovely Bettina's turn to choose. 

'M' for Magical

I have had this Mickey Mouse Santa's Coming Die for a few years and never used it! I think there is nothing more magical for children than Christmas and Disney, so I combined them ;-)


I masked the moon and used watercolour paper and distress inks to create the background then splattered with shimmer. I added some glitter to highlight the icy rooftops and trees, popped on a few sequin stars and that was it. Very quick and easy :-)



We are sponsored by Shape EZ so a fabulous prize on offer!



Prize offered to 1 lucky winner is : 2 Shape EZ templates or your choice.
