Jolly Festive times with Inspirational Picture

Good morning well what a wet and miserable day we are having here in the Northwest. Hope you are experiencing some better weather. I saw that the weatherman has said we are all in for record snow fall this year. Love snow but not the best for travelling in and our roads are not good far too much road works holding traffic up.

Well enough of my waffle let me tell you about this weeks challenge at Divas By Design.

This week we have a inspirational picture for you. Now take what you want from this picture as if you hop over to the blog you will see we all did  something a little different.

oh I would love to have this in my house for Christmas. 

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is

Right so what have I made for your inspiration. Immediately when I saw this I thought of a old stamp from Whiff of Joy so just used the colours from the picture

All papers are from my stash and are very old I think the only new item is the flowers i got from a local store. Sentiment is from Pookadoodles. Stamp Whiff of Joy coloured with my promarkers. Ribbon from Meiflower, Happy Holiday die is a Savvy Die.

Well thats my make I took the colours and the food  from the picture cant wait to see what you take from it. Hope you will come and play along with us this week.

Off to get the dog some Dog Food from Adsa and might treat us to there Pizza for tea.

Have a good day and thanks for popping
