Here is My Entry for this Months Challenge!!!

Seeing it is the last challenge for the year and how close
it is to Christmas I thought I would make a wonderful
new Christmas decoration, purchased from our sponsor
Scrapmatts


To start with I covered all the pieces with gesso then
dried them with a heat gun.


Once they were dry I decided on the colours I wanted to use
and as I don't like traditional Christmas colours
I used shades of them in their place.


Connecting the stars and ornaments together with a series of
small jump rings created the hanging look
traditionally representational of Christmas ornaments

2nd Giving Thanks Blog Hop & Linky Party


I own a challenge blog, Creative Artiste, and Shery Russ, owner of STAMPlorations, was so very kind to sponsor one of our challenges, and then a couple of months ago asked if I would be a guest designer for the Giving Thanks Blog Hop. There are several prizes up for grabs for those who hop and also link up a project with a thankful or grateful theme. Commenting and linking up end on November 30. I encourage you to visit the other stops in the hop to for lots of chances at the prizes. You will find the complete line-up of designers at the very end of this post. (I am #13 in the line-up.)



This is the set (Many Blessings bundle) that I created my card with:


Firstly I used Rub-On Waxes with the stencil, then cut the leaves out and adhered then to the card front after I colored the background, I then stamped the basket of fruit and the word Blessings and die cut them. Then I colored in with my Chameleons. I then sprayed some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays the were Steampunk sepia on the bottom half and Tiffany's Blue for the back ground colors. I the put some foam dots on the back of my colored image and Blessings and added them to my card front. I then used and old packet I had save as I liked the look and feel of it, I distressed the edges and added that to the card and then I added my card front... That was it completed. 

Here are a couple of close-ups:

Beautiful Moments Last Forever. By Rhonda

Beautiful Moments Last Forever.

The craft room has once again held me captive and would not release me
until I was able to complete another couple of DT Projects
to share with you all so I hope you enjoy...

Craft might be one of the loves of my life but it is not the only one
and coming a close second...Oh OK...I suppose
I can place him ahead of it this time...lol...Is my husband Rob.
Without him little of what I do would come as easy as it does
so it is fitting that I dedicate this 
"Beautiful Moments Last Forever" canvas to him.

 

The CB5116 Feathers 01 were the inspiration here as
they reminded me of the gentleness of my man but for the rest,
it was to be feminine to show the dedication he has towards his wife...


What better way to start than with the "House of Roses" paper
to happily compliment the strong geometrical lines
so representational of my husband in CB5156 Triangles 01



All my lovelies on the shelf behind were so delightfully
screaming out for me to bling things up a bit with the
"Say It With Crystals" and from there it really was as simple as
adding a few flowers here and there to compliment
and balance everything else with the final touch being
the small butterflies and hearts.

So there you have it, quite a simple project but something
that made me smile the whole way through...
Thanks again Sofie & Andrew at Scrapmatts for always having
the diverse range of chipboards to inspire my creativity.

Santa & His Reindeers Xmas Card

Christmas cheer is ever present in everyones minds at
this end of the year and being able to send and share warm wishes
with all that are dear to us can sometimes
stretch our minds to create something new...

For me, traditional Xmas colours are normally far from my pallet so I was surprised to find myself enjoying the somewhat earthiness in this one.
Otherwise, not a lot to be said about this one as it virtually assembled itself before my very eyes...


Delivering the message front and centre with the lovely Red Bauble that was part of CB1228 Christmas Ornaments 14 was a no brainer.


The magnificently matched colours straight out of the packet from
was perfect, needed no touch-ups and
complimented everything else I had planned.


So that ends another 2 projects and although I am now allowed
to escape the clutches of the craft room the desire to
continue to create is strong and I look forward
to sharing my next creations.
