Krafty Christmas

Good morning all,

 

I hope you are all well and not being affected by the terrible floods in the UK.  I have just popped in to tell you all about the fab new challenge over at 2 Sisters.

 

This week the theme is: KRAFTY CHRISTMAS.  You can create anything as long as it contains some Kraft and is suitable for Christmas.

 

There are two fantastic sponsors this week.

 

Kenny K

 

 

 

The Digi Garden

 

 

I was delighted to receive this beautiful image from Kenny K called 'Elf Boy. Thought he had such a cheeky face. The paper is from my older stash and is by Basic Grey.  I used a Cuttlebug 'Moroccan screen' embossing folder for the mat behind the image, the corners were created using a Cheery Lynn die and the heart border is an EK Success border punch.

 

 

I hope you will all join in with this fun challenge and if you pop over to 2 Sisters you can view the beautiful creations from my DT teamies.
