Merry Christmas Everyone.....

I've really not had much time  to craft throughout December, hopefully 2016 I will be back on form...
So to all my Followers and friends that look in to my blog, I want to Wish You All a Wonderful Christmas...hope you all have a fabulous time and that Santa will be good to you all...xxx

            See you all again on the 1st January 2016

December Already....

So here we are...the Festive Season is finally here, comes around so quickly dosen't it,lol.
Over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit there is no December Challenge....I wanted to give my fabulous design team the whole month off so they can prepare for christmas...however they and myself will be back on 1st January 2016 with our first challenge of the year...so please mark the date on your calender to remind you to drop by the blog.
In the meantime in the December's Post we have our winner for November and chosen by the team, just a small selection of stand out entries from 2015...so well worth popping over for a look.

Last Challenge until February

Altered Eclectics are running their December Challenge through to 1st February 2016, so the design team will be having a nice break...so Thank You to our Boss Lady Elaine.
For Decembers Challenge I have altered a rubber stamp block...I take most of my stamps of their blocks as the wood eventually warps anyway, no matter how you store them....

I used a smallish block,measuring 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches 

I paint the block in light brown acrylic paint twice and once dry scrubbed over it with gesso.

Then I stamped the script over every side of the block.

I had this image of this adorable little girl in my stash, so I trimmed around her and adhered her to the block...using fabric flowers, beads and a piece of broken jewellery I framed her face and shoulders.

The bottom of the block I used some gorgeous beaded trim. I found a key in my stash and also a short piece of chain with the charm on the end...it was just perfect for the end of the key.

To finish I added the disc and ring to the top so it can be hung almost anywhere....I am thankful my daughter dosen't read my blog as this piece was made for her as a stocking filler...
