Good morning and welcome to another Dt make for Craft Challenge Blog

This time we are trying to get ahead with our Christmas makes. I saw some had posted it is only 11 months to Christmas. Well where did January go it just flew by.

So if you have made a promise to try and make a little box and fill it with cards and things for Christmas. Then come and share with us.

Our sponsor for this challenge are

and 

Star Stampz

We all got to play with some of our sponsors images and I picked this cutie from Star Stampz called

Christmas Elf Ornament and you find it in the  store HERE

I coloured the image with Promarkers

Added a die cut sentiment banner

Some ribbon and lace from stash

A flower which I added some glitter to

The Dp is all from stash and the top one is gold foiled on the holly.

Used a Tonic circle die to cut the frame and image out and trimmed off one side

Now this can be any image and anything that reminds you of a song.

Dont forget to let us in on what song it is 

I am so looking forward to seeing what songs you use.

The team has come up with some great titles and some from way back which brought some fab memories back.

Well for my card I have gone with David Bowies - Little China Girl. One of the Classic dont you think. I still cant believe he is no longer with us.

Well i have used Kimono Portrit

I kept this fairly flat as it is going over seas.

Coloured the image with promarkers and fussy cut.

The Backing paper and the Backing image is from a Polkadoodles download 

used some Braid, Gems and Happy Birthday stamp from my stash

Black card to mat onto a square card blank.
