Christmas Decorations

Morning again I hope you all survived Christmas Day. What a wonderful time we had in our house. We had a house full with the kids and my parents, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I hope you all have a little time for crafting again as today at CRAFT challenge we have a 'no card' challenge.

The sponsors for this challenge are:

The Stamping Boutique

Pink Gem Designs

Little Darlings Rubber Stamps

 Here's my DT project that I've made using Stamps and dies from Stampin Up. You can find my SU only blog here. For my CRAFT DT project I made an ornament in browns, a little different than the more traditional red and green ones I've made previosuly.

 

Here is Liams DT project. He's made a Christmas angel. He's so proud of it bless him. 

I hope everyone enjoys the new year celebrations and I'll be back in 2013.
