and one of my CHA layouts :)

**edited to add - the zipper flowers on this layout were made with the  Stella & Rose Hazel Memories Ribbon pack. I unzipped the zip section and treated it as regular ribbon just used a hot glue gun to stick it together instead of thread.

I am lucky to be part of this awesome My Minds Eye Design team - they always bring out all the best in our creativeness!

so take the next hop over to the lovely Laura Vegas's blog!!

Wishing you all a most wonderful Festive Season!

Flames and Light

I adore Candles in all shapes and forms and especially at this time of year with Winter nights and the Solstice and the New Year - a time for cosy evenings and reflections on the year past and spending time with friend and families.

Candles are a nice way to remeber those who cannot be with us during this time of festivities.

And I love making them special so I thought I'd share this technique... You can see more on the My Minds Eye Blog or the Bombshell Stamps Blog.

12 days to Christmas

Did you recieve your copy of the My Minds Eye Newsletter - if not, check it out here... I made a layout to go with Jana's awesome sketch.

and I hope you saw my Christmas Countdown Frame on the blog.

Its been raining hard lately so getting photogrpahs of artwork and children has been difficult. I'm working on a bunch of Christmas themed stuff that I'll share soon.
