Feeling Sentimental at Digi Choosday

 Good morning are you all well I hope so.
 We are feeling a little Sentimental over at Digi Choosday this week
So we would like to see lots of Sentiments on your projects.
Dont forget today we have a discount code for the shop which will only last till midnight
why not go and grab some retail therapy
So what do I have for you with a Sentiment. My card has been inspired by the Sentiment. 
For my card I have used the fabulous Frosted Winter Octavia.
I wanted to share some of the Embellishments and show how they can be a focal point. I have used the Candy Jar and added loads and loads of mini Ginger bread people inside. The cup is also an Embellishment I added some fluffy stuff for 3D effect. All the papers are from this CD too. As I said the sentiment was my inspiration for this card and is the perfect Sentiment for these Embellishments. Dont you think! I just added some ribbon and lace and pearls to finish.
Well we look forward to seeing what you come up with dont forget this challenge runs for 2 weeks.

There prize is 
Wow would love to win these goodies. So let me share with you my little bag.

I picked up this lovely Red bag at a local shop as I loved the red and the snowflakes but thought it just needed making into something special.
I matted some lovely Pearlised white card onto some Silver Glitter card. I vcut layers of the card with my Clearly Besotted Tree Line and my Memory Box Stitched Evergreen Tree Dies to create the landscape. Added some torn vellum for the ice and a Crafty Sentiment fence die. Added some Fluffy stuff for the snow. Now the image which has been coloured with my Promarkers is from Polkadoodles and is  Hollybob Skater and you can purchase her as a digi or in the Holly Jolly CD.
Well I enjoyed making this little bag look a little special and will be putting it to one side ready to add a little present. 
I do hope that you will come and join us this week we would love to see what your making. Dont forget to checkout the amazing samples the girls have made wow they have come up with some brilliant makes.

Time for Something New - Digi Choosday

Good morning hope your all well. I am getting ready for my new boiler to be fitted tomorrow so busy day clearing stuff for the work men fingers, crossed it goes well.
Well today we would like to see NEW THINGS at Digi Chooseday. 
Before I go any further please do take advantage of the amazing Saving  that is on the challenge blog but only for today for the store.
Well what else could I show you other than the amazing new CD Octivia Frosted Winter. How ever my new thing is the technique Altering this frame. 
This is the frame before i started



I have used Chalk paint doing several layers and then rubbing Copper Gliding Wax on the raised edges to give a old feel. This was a very cheap white plastic frame. All this is to enhance this wonderful scene that I printed from the CD which you can purchase from the store HERE.
I so enjoyed doing this and think I will have to go buy another as this was sent to Nikky for one of the samples for the Create & Craft TV show. Think this is my crafty bargin for the month.
Well now it is your turn to share with us your New item. Is it a new Cd, Digital image that you love.
Come join us. Go checkout the rest of the teams creations and dont forget that code for the shop. Maybe buy a digital image and share it with us.
Thanks for popping by.
