This year I've made some tags...they are really simple I have dry embossed them and then used a quickie glue pen to heat emboss them.

Christmas

Over at  Ikes World Challenges  the theme this month is Christmas.  The challenge is open to everyone and if you prefer you can dip your toes in with anything goes. Ike always does a stunning a freebie and of course you can purchase her images at  Ikes Art .  I have used a variety of images, and even cropped and flipped the polar cub which surprised me as I'm usually useless at these things.  The quotes are my own and read "What have I told you lot....no spying on Santa!"

So I am currently coming up with a different theme for each card and I hope to do at least one a week.  I am going to probably {this is not definite} use my Thursday blog post for my Christmas Challenge and then slot the photos in as posts in between my crafting.  I'm not sure it's good for anyone who looks in just for photos but it's going to make things easier and more importantly make me happier.  Right back to the point of this post....it's Knightshayes National Trust woodland garden for these photos.  I promise not to share a...
