A Christmas Bauble

Hellooo ... back again!! Sorry for the neglected blogging and commenting, things are kind of busy around here but that's probably the case for most of us at the moment.

I wanted to play along with the second challenge at Addicted to CAS which is 'Bauble' this time round and I've left it until now to join in so I could play with my new Avery Elle stamp set 'Merry and Bright' which are the latest American stamp company available to buy here in the UK at Make the Day Special.

I love all those fonts together, it just had to be stamped in red... don't ask me why, it just said red to me Lol. To add some interest to the base card I used the dotted and solid line in the set with versamark to make a tone on tone candy stripe effect.
Can you see that sparkle?? trust me, it's better in real life. I added Hero Arts fine glitter to the un-coloured 'Merry' with a Quickie glue pen, a big intake of breath and steady hand!!! ..... I did remember to exhale before the glitter came out but it still got everywhere!!! Lol :0)

Well we are off this weekend to bring our girlie back home for Christmas, it'll be lovely and strange to have her back in the nest again and I'm hoping she'll be trying out some of her new found cooking skills for us too *wink*  James is looking forward to the influx of washing as well as having his big (little) sis home :0)
It'll be a fab Christmas when I finally get organised.... I'm hopeless! it's not like I didn't see it coming *shakes head and rolls eyes*
