This Post Post here is abysmal - three thing to me have not arrived here.
I can't show Melilssa gift wish hasn't arrive - one because I didn't  want here to see it, secondly because being a 'Dumbo' I forgot to photograph it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and Santa has been kind to you.

Basic Grey.............Anything Goes

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in with our It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Challenge.  I am sorry that some of you had problems linking your entries, I have no idea why and I did try to rectify it a few times but I wonder if it might have been an Internet Explorer problem as someone did change browser and managed to link their entry.  Anyway, ALL entries have been taken into account and a lucky winner will be drawn shortly !

This is our last challenge of 2012 and taking are taking a break until 12th January and so you have until then to get your entry in.

This week's challenge is

ANYTHING GOES !

My papers are from Recess and colours with used one of  Mo Manning Digital Pencil and coloured by Copics. I used Spellbinders circles and attached them to Beads and a couple of Bells  to a Bo Bunny brads and a ribbon.  I used the Tim Holtz Sizzix clock, using a Bo Bunny brads to the hands and finally added a New Year greeting by LOTV.

In reflection I should have created the card with a circular base so that it could swing  naturally - 

 the problem of hindsight is it comes too late!!!!

        

I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and I wish you all everything you wish for in the New Year.

Thanks for stopping by

Simon Says............Merry Christmas

I knew exactly what I wanted to make with the Holiday Shapes  and have the dangling somehow.

I decided to make the little lanterns and I use the Simon Says Exclusives Bella Blooks for the flowers on the top along with Leave.

I tries using both wire or fishing line to attached the Holiday Shapes but was unsuccessful and ended up just using pink cotton which was perfect. I glittered them all from Soarkle Ultra Fine for the pink lantern and the white one with some America Crafts Zing Pink They took forever although I really enjoined making them - such fun!!!

The Lace (Although I have to admit I am not sure it is the same one) I used around the edges and died the pink one with Tim Holtz distress ink Victorian Velvet.

The lantern were make from Bazzill white cardstock and Candy Pale for the pink.

I managed to get some little candles which look gorgeous in real life although my photographs don't do them any justice.

         

      

I am so sorry I am so late,  my Son took me off Christmas shopping - a little necessary I think err - a lot.

I came pack afternoon with a stinking headache - I couldn't possibly look at the computer but recovered after a sleep - but now I have arrived - better late than never - I hope.

I hope you all your Christmas Wishes com True
