~~~~ Christmas week at Fab'n'Funky ~~~

Hi folks,

Hope you are keeping well and managing to stay sane during these strange times.

I managed to get out for a walk on Monday but as I schedule this post
 rain is forecast for the next 3 days so the walls will be getting closer!
  I find it difficult to stay focused the best of times 

but this really gives me an excuse!  But enough about me...

I'm happy to host this week's challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #459

and being the last Wednesday of the month

 it is time for you to show us some Christmas Creations.

I have used a wonderful Pre-Coloured image that is available
 at Sublimation Design Graphics.  

These cute gnomes are quick and fun to use...I moved them together

used Copic T4, T2 around the images to give them some dimension

then added T5,T2 at the bottom to ground them.  Sentiment is a MB die.

I loved their cute hats and sweaters...couldn't have dressed them better.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

CHNC Challenge #487
C R A F T Challenge #553
Christmas Crafts All Year Round

Hope you get a chance to stop by and see the fabulous creations by the DT

and play along with us if you can.

~~~ Bloomin Wonderful at Sweet Stampin ~~~

Hi folks,
As we are all staying put these days, I hope you are able to do
something that brings you joy.

Colouring is one of my favourite things to do...I love to tune everything out and
just focus on making something come to life.
I'm not always happy with the outcome mind you...but this one I liked.

Today starts a new challenge at

where we have the theme of "Bloomin Wonderful (feature a flower)"

I enjoyed colouring this Marcella Hawley digital stamp.

 SU Country Floral embossing folder used on the base, pearls from my stash and

sentiment is a stamp, heat embossed on vellum.

I masked the image then used Tim Holtz Cracked Pistachio Distressed Oxide ink

on the background.
