CHRISTMAS BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAYS!!

In the run up to Christmas, I have decided to run a few blog candy giveaways, the lucky winners will receive these extra presents for Christmas as a big thank you for visiting, following and for the lovely comments you have left since I started blogging. 

I've really appreciated your support with it, so thank you very much for taking the time to read all my waffle!

Some of the giveaways will have a short time space, so do call back regularly to see what's happening, or you'll miss out and that wouldn't do would it! 

I have other fun things planned to continue the giveaways into the Christmas holidays that will also take us into the new year that I hope you will join in with too.

The first blog candy giveaway will begin soon, so do call back to join in!

More Nestie shrink plastic

Just a quick post today with more Nestie Shrink Plastic from last Monday's telly show used with a scalloped oval card mount.  This time I stamped the flower (from Kay's Funky Flowers stamp sheet) with black Archival ink over the white Brilliance flourish background on the shrink plastic.  I left it to dry before colouring with the Sakura stardust pens.

I ran the pink vellum through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss dots folder, which cracked the vellum to create white dots.  A few paper flowers and ribbon have been added as finishing touches.

New blog look and more Nestie Shrink Plastic

Another card with a shrink plastic button along with a large piece that I used as a platform/mount for paper flowers.

I decided to have a play yesterday evening and decorate my blog page.  I may have another play and change it.  What do you think so far?  or, do you like it as it is? 

When I started my blog I didn't really know what to do for decoration so just left it. 

Tracey having started her new blog has spured me on to have a play with it.  I did try to help Tracey with her new blog and managed to loose her lovely background so I thought I needed to learn a little more about it myself!!

Talking of Tracey, she is working on new stamp designs to add to the ones we already have in hand but she has asked if there are any stamp designs you would like to her to draw.  Do pop over to her new blog with any suggestions you have.
