A Challenge with a free digi

Hello out there!  Santa has been and gone, leaving gifts and eating all the cookies.....I'm sure it must have been him. (ha ha).  Hopefully you all are keeping well, and enjoying your time with family and friends.



This was the final gift bag that I made up for Christmas giving, and I played with this sketch from Stämpelkällan.  I've changed it around a bit, and I've also made good use of two of their wonderful stamps...J18 Poinsettia and J10 Merry Christmas.  It was a hit Christmas morning, filled with an assortment of my hand made cards!

The gorgeous DP is from the MME Lost & Found collection, and I used an MS punch to create the lacy edging.

Did you know that there's a Stämpelkällan challenge underway with a special digi image that you can use for your project?  Be sure to check the link below for more information and lots of fun!


Just to let you know, we finally have some of that white stuff....nice to look at, but today I have to go out in it! (yuk)  I had really gotten used to looking at grass that didn't grow, winter boots that stayed in the closet, and gloves that sat on the sideboard.....waiting to get worn and then lost!  Luckily, we only have a skiff for now, and hopefully that doesn't change anytime soon!

    You were certainly ready for Christmas with all your handmade goodies Joyce. How lovely to give such a special gift like that.
    Hope you all had a good time and Bruce is staying well.
    Good luck with the snow - having been predicted a very cold winter we have been mild so far, hardly any frost let alone the white stuff.
    luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
