I hope you had a good weekend.
We had a great time yesterday hearing about our daughter's trip to France and Holland.
They started their journey in Paris then drove to Holland for our son-in-law's family reunion
A ride in a hot air balloon in France was a highlight, along with visiting all the tourist attractions.
We were glad to see them home...tired as they all seemed. Jet lag is the downside of traveling overseas.
Our granddaughters are seasoned travellers and really had a wonderful adventure.
Today I have a Christmas card to share with you.
I picked up some Faber-Castell polychromos pencils and had a go at colouring this
cute digi from Di's Digital Images that I was lucky enough to win recently
at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge.
at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge.
He is called Christmas Bertie and can be found here in the sale section.
I liked colouring with the polychromos but need a lot more practice.
I used a Derwent Burnisher which helped in blending
....but I won't be retiring my Copics anytime soon.
The gold paper is Recollections from Michaels. Kraft paper embossed with Cuttlebug folder.
Lily of the Valley tag stamped in Versafine Sepia.
My favourite MB Plush Poinsettia Corner cut in kraft then gold.
Bell charm that's been in my stash for several years
Tim Holtz twine
