Graceful Fans

Hello friends

Today's card features Becca's border dies - Graceful Fans.
It really is a clean and simple card.
Using the scallop border and inset die to create the right hand edge 
of my card and then adding four mini poinsettias
and tiny leaves.


Mini gemstones to the middle of my flowers and
a stamped sentiment - job done!


Becca's border dies are available at Create and Craft,
they are stunning designs and when teamed with the Frame Maker - perfect!

I have made my Christmas cake...finally!
It's not going to have much time to be 'alcohol-ed' before the big day 
so I've decided that the only answer is to have a large drink
each time I eat a slice of cake!   Logical.

There's only one outstanding stocking to fill and that's Bella's,
it is hidden away right now but she's suspicious.
There was one parcel under the tree for her and she spent evenings
staring at it so had to relent!  


Today is a trip to Lakeside Ikea...hoping it will be less quiet on
a Monday.  My eldest son is back to stay for a while, I had emptied his room
so now we need to re-furnish it!  
I had thought once your kids left home they couldn't come back...
silly me!  Love him really.

Take care friends and here's to the countdown...
