Love this stamp, l have had it a few years now and it comes out every christmas for those quick to make cards when you realise you have no where near the number of cards you need. Hope you have all had a good week - l am so looking forward to Christmas and having a couple of days rest as life is running in the fast lane at the moment.
Enjoy the weekend whatever you are doing.

A perfect challenge for this week as it has been trying to snow here for the last few days following Storm Caroline, so far we have not had the heavy snow that has been forecast.

This week l have gone for something completely different - l went to Hobbycraft on monday for a sewing kit gift and came out with loads of goodies including this MDF advent tree which l gave a makeover

A work in progress

Decorated edge

MDF Tree Hobbycraft

Acrylic Paint

Snowflake stencil 

Gems, Numbers

We have been generously sponsored by. Marianne Design

Firstly l painted the tree shape and drawers in blue acrylic paint, when dry l used the stencil to apply snowflakes with the silver acrylic paint. I added touches of silver randomly on edges, when completely dry l added a gem to the centre of each snowflake on drawer fronts as well as a gem on each drawer knob. I also bought a little box of numbers - which were next to the trees on the shop shelf and you would have thought that each box had enough numbers.....no, not enough No. 1's so hubby just trimmed a few 7's down.....shame on you hobbycraft as l was not making a 60 mile round trip to buy another box.  Anyway job done and l am pleased with the result - just need to get a few treats for the remaining days.

Hope you have all had a good week, mine has been hectic as usual. Yesterday the Christmas Trees went up and cleaning almost done as so much mess is made putting them up and getting all the decorations down from the loft. We have outside to do hopefully today - just icicle lights and a few trees  to lit up - hubby would go for all the outside lights and decorations if given the chance but l say NO.
Off to grandchildren's christmas fair this morning then back home to my duties and l am determined to have a full day all to myself crafting this week.

Hope to see you over on the challenge x Susan x
