Time for a little sparkle ...... HLS Christmas challenge

Happy Thursday folks!

And we have another new follower ..... whoo hoo!!!   Hello and Welcome to Linda  (what a great name!) ..... thank you for your lovely comments.  I'm so pleased you enjoyed your visit here.  It's nice to have you with us .... please visit again soon.

It's been a lovely day again here ....... the sun has been shining ....... and I've been locked in the old craft room trying to track down Mr Mojo!  I think he's done a runner ..... gone AWOL .... can't say as I blame him ..... the weather's been gorgeous!  Looks like it's all about to change though .... the clouds have gathered and it's going very grey.  If he doesn't come back soon he's going to get wet!!!

Time for my last challenge entry of the week.  This time I'm linking up to the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge ...... where the word for this month is ...... Sparkle!


I can do sparkle ...... especially on Christmas cards ..... what do you think?


I said the sun had disappeared ..... can't get a decent photo ...... oops!

I've used the Penny Black star dance wreath ..... simply stamped it in black Versafine and then added a touch of fine crystal glitter around the wreath, and festive red to that gorgeous bow


Ah .... that's better, you can see some of the sparkle now.  I added a few tiny gemstones scattered around the wreath, and finished off with one of the brand new Mixed Christmas Sentiments from HLS .... perfect!


Have you seen any of the sneak peeks from Penny Black of their new Especially for You range that's coming out soon ....... well, if you love the wreath stamp that I've used here, you might be pleased to know that they're bringing out a die of the same design. (oooh!)  
Check out the Penny Black blog for more on the new release .....  but get ready for your wish list to start growing ..... don't say I didn't warn you!

Thanks for popping by  .... enjoy the rest of your day.

I'll be back tomorrow with a reminder about the latest Craft Stamper Challenge.

Cheerio until then .....

Linda
