Snowflakes and more

Hey it's Friday....that's if you didn't already know it!!!

Today at CRAFTY CATZ our lovely Dianne has picked a lovely Christmas theme for you all

Snowflakes,Stars and Sentiment

Our lovely sponsors are

CRIMSON CLOUD with a prize of 3 packs of Die cuts

I have used my  trusty snowflake embossing folder and this stamp of mine from a few years ago, which was very popular, have heat embossed the image and added a big bow, ribbon from Crafty Ribbons .

Simps!! you would think!! lol except i had to stamp and do my image twice as this embossing powder doesn't show when embossed, so hard sometimes to see if it's all embossed

Now i hope you can play along with us as there isn't many challenges left for this year.
