Good morning everyone,

Our Birthday Celebration at Fab'n'Funky continues with our Anything Goes theme.

Working on the Christmas list...

Good day everyone,

I can't believe it's Friday already......and another week closer to that magical time of year.

Recently I was fortunate enough to be the winner at UnstampaBelles Challenge and this week received my fabulous prize pac from Blue Edge Crafts.   

What a wonderful surprise to get so many gorgeous stickers and decoupage sheets.  

I immediately started making a few cards, working down my Christmas list.

 I'm thrilled with the outcome and as in most cases it's so much better irl.

Good morning all,

We've a new challenge starting at
