Well here we go with take 2 of the Allsorts Challenge which has been my week to think of a title.
I thought with it falling on the 1st of December it had to be
ADVENT
I have used a Twiddlybitz Advent House which has been painted with white acrylic paint. I have also sprayed it with silver Spray and Sparkle from Crafters Companion this gave it a little bling.
Because the House is so gorgeous and intricate you don't need to put much decoration on it but I have added some die cuts - snowflake from Spellbinders and the Sleigh and Reindeer is a Marianne design and I have cut these in silver mirri card.
The chocolates, of course, are essential just add your favourites and start to count down the days!
This is a project that will come out year after year and was lovely to do. I hope that you like it too. I would love for you to leave a comment and also pop over to the Allsorts Blog to have a look and the teams lovely ideas.
As mentioned yesterday in Part 1 of the post I was at Create and Craft demonstrating the Cuttlebug with a huge amount of folders and the All-in-One system that has been so popular. It was fun going back to demo the Cuttlebug. I am back again Monday for a 10am show and if you are interested in a Cuttle Bug this is such an amazing offer.
I have quite a week at the studio and I am also there on the following days and times:
Tuesday 9pm and 11pm - Spellbinders Pick of the Day Launch!
Wednesday 8am, 10am, 12pm, 1pm, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm, and 7pm!!! PHEW!!
I will be demonstrating the Spellbinders Pick of the Day throughout these hours.
Sunday 9th 10am for Scrapbook Sunday
1pm Demonstrating Teresa Collins gorgeous papers and stamps.
I hope that you can catch a few of these hours and please send an email to let me know someone is out there!!!
Thankyou for your patients this week and thankyou again for Brenda bailing me out yesterday.
Must dash as I have soooooo many demos to prep for next week
Bye for now
