... Gosh, it's been a busy day today. I typed up the minutes of the Scouts Programme Planning meeting - we've got some fun events lined up - incoporating ideas from our Scouts and planning according to the weather. I don't do too many outdoor events in the winter (December), so the requests for night walks and camps will have to I also managed to get all the ironing done - it's so nice to see empty ironing baskets.
So as I was sitting down watching the news with a nice cup of coffee - well earned - I suddenly thought of another Tag for Claire's Tag - You're It competition. I have another set of Claire's stamps that have hardly seen ink - yes, I know that's bad. So without further ado - here is the tag
.I used a wonderful set that Claire released last year - it's a secret so you have to visit a special place - don't want little eyes to see this set!! You'll need a password - ibelieveinsantaclause - should work :))
I'm really pleased how this turned out. A sweet little Elf Shoe - in very festive colours.
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Secret Stamp Set
Inks: Versamark; Memento - Cottage Ivy; Distress - Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint
Embossing Powder: Heat It Up! - Red Tinsel, Green Tinsel
This image lends itself to a bit of decoupage! And it's so easy to cut too. I kept it really simple and only did two layers - for a card I might be a bit more adventurous and do three or even four!! The green shoe base is a piece of paper that I had in my stash and actually had holly leaves on it - so worked as a tag backing.
That's all for this evening. No bonfire party around here tonight - we're going to the big one in Chester tomorrow night. Besides, it's rather wet and windy - so not the best night to enjoy fireworks. Here's hoping that tomorrow will be better.
Ohhhhh - Santa left his footprint at your house. He's really rather a traditional chap & rightly so - he has impeccable taste with his colour scheme. Absolutely love it, just imagine that he has a tree shaped footprint - it's brilliant & I love the way he's made it sparkly too & a lovely neat attaching knot - looks like he's been doing knot practice with the elves again.
