Get the Glitter out at Crafts and Me

Morning Peeps,

Wow it's Wednesday already, this week is flying by. It's been pretty miserable here with the rain and temperatures are set to get lower, grrrrrrrr, must bring my chilli plants in tonight.  I do hate the winter, but I do love Christmas time and cozy nights in with the fire and not having to go outside, lol.

It's time for another fortnightly challenge at Crafts and Me and it's my turn to choose the theme. Now I don't need an excuse to use Glitter but I thought with everyone making Christmas Cards at the moment, you'd all like to join me in using some "Glitter" on your cards, and usually on me too, lol.

I have used the Crafts and Me Stamp by Molly Harrison "The Gift".  I have added turquoise glitter to the snowflakes as well as glamour dust and star dust stickles to her wings.  3 types, I am doing well!

Looking forward to seeing all your glitter and sparkle.

Molly Harrison Angel/Fairy Sneak Peek at Crafts and Me

Morning Peeps,

I should be all fresh for the weekend after I finish work today.  Housework is all done, just got to tidy my craft room, ummmmmmmmmm, not such an easy task, it currently looks like a bomb has dropped on it, lol, nothing new there then! 

I am showcasing to you today one of the new Molly Harrison Christmas release stamps, which Teresa at Crafts and Me will be releasing on Monday and if you are a subscriber to the Crafts and Me newsletter you will receive 10% off during next week.  If your not currently a subscriber just hop on over to the blog and register, it's FREE!

I thought rather than do a card I would show you another use for this beautiful Angel stamp so here is my Christmas candle which I have made for a friend of mine in Turkey.  Being of the jewish religion they do not celebrate Christmas but she would love to have some decorations, but nothing too big like a christmas tree as it wouldn't be acceptable, so I thought this would be a perfect gift, plus it's her birthday on Christmas Eve.

I have coloured her using copics but it's difficult to blend on tissue paper so think I will give this a go next time using chalks.

I have made the tube using accetate.

I got carried away with the star dust glitter!

This is the lid.  I embossed the top using the snowflake cuttlebug folder and added the Marianne Design poinsetta with a beautiful lilac rose from wild orchid crafts to the middle.

We have a super challenge over at Crafts and Me Challenge blog this week, running for two weeks, which is to create a Chrismas Gift.  So if you want to give the candle  and gift tube a go here's a tutorial which would fit nicely into our challenge.  Hope to see you there!
