Show us your Favourites!

Hi, and welcome!

A quick reminder about my 

BLOG CANDY

You have until tomorrow night 11.00pm UK time to get in a comment that will enable you to be included in the random draw for that delightful tote bag!

And don't forget to tell me what I want........nay........NEED to hear.....that you get your breasts checked, regularly!

Okay.........I have to tell you that I got a little over-excited about this week's challenge at TWIST OF FAITH.........yep.......the theme is 

FAVOURITES

and it was a no-brainer for me..........and you all know what I chose, don't you?

We are truly blessed to have a wonderful sponsor

Our Design Team were thrilled with the gorgeous array of cute images that the owner, Faith, has created.........and she has very generously agreed to offer 3 prizes of $5.00 vouchers for images from her store!

All you need to do is create a card that showcases something that is a FAVOURITE of yours........a technique, an image, a colour, a theme, a scripture........anything that you really like!

Here's mine........

I love this beautiful image!  It's called The Way in a Manger and I love the simplicity and crisp detailing......

I started with a white card blank and used a piece of DP that came with a Humphry's Corner paper pad......I added some teeny-tiny stars that actually were the punched out shapes from the bottom border......

The white doily is from Papermania and the music score paper was a freebie (I Googled to find the image).  I added a little brown chalk to the edges and distressed them........

This gorgeous border is one of my favourites and is from Memory Box......the ribbon is from my stash and the 3 Card Candi pieces are from Craftwork Cards........

Those Spectrum Noir markers are feeling a little more comfortable, the more I use them, and they make an appearance on this beautiful image........

Oh, stutter.....I just saw that there are actually two doilies....stuck together.....haaaaaaa!

I put a scrap of the blue ribbon across the corner and pushed through a silver snowflake brad.....yes, it was silver, but I dabbed some white Gesso on it........

This lovely star was included with the stamp set......there are a couple of sentiments and more stars in the same bundle, so a lot of choice, there.......

I coloured up the star, added some sparkle Mod Podge, and scored through from point to point so that it would be 3-D........

There is a bit of chalking and distressing goin' on, all over the place....hahaaaa!

So.......did you spot all my FAVOURITES?

I went with my favourite theme.......Christmas

My favourite kind of image........The infant King

My favourite techniques.......inking/chalking, distressing, adding sparkly Mod Podge....love that ssschtuff!

My favourite Christmas hymn......."O Come All Ye Faithful"........or, as I better know it, "Adeste Fideles".....I was taught every verse in Latin, and still prefer to sing, or hear it sung, this way........beautiful!

Please join us this week.......you would be very welcome!

hugs,
