Chi Chi Memories - Xmas Boy =)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope you get to spend some time with
loved ones over the holidays.

Christmas is my favourite holiday EVER!

Thankfully I do not have to work and
get to see my family and friends.

Today's inspiration card is using Xmas Boy.
Sadly this will be my final post as
I have decided to step away from the DT.

You can find him here at Chi Chi Memories.


Nice and simple card with a little sparkle.....

Digi Choosday Challenge - Xmas Table/Decor! =)

Ok, so this is new for me..... I totally
stepped out of my box with this one.

Originally I had done a card..... but the theme 
for Digi Choosday's Challenge is Table/XMAS decorations....
and frankly after seeing all of my fellow DT creations, 
I was definitely not on the right field, so to speak!

So I chose to add my inked image to a candle 
that I had lying around. The image is "Tree"
from the Work and Play 5 Festive Hollybobs set.

This digital is available 3 ways
Whole set - Instant Download
Whole set - CD


Not bad for a quick change up..... =)

The poinsettia was done with a die cut I had, I added
Crystal Stickles and pearls to add some depth.
