Create with 8??

Wondering what's that :) Hello crafty people!!! Well that is the challenge at CAS-ual Friday. So I used their stamp which has No. 8 in literal meaning and also the sentiments are in 8 lines....just perfect. It's been some time that I played with these stamps and the challenge was just superb!!!


So, I created this background and then stamped it using various inks. To give a little festive feel, I added a strip of glitter, keeping the design CAS. Love the result.


Do drop by tomorrow as we at Some Odd Girl are playing with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L this week and I also have some new digi n cut file tomorrow.

Christmas Tags Trio

Hello Everyone!!! Here I am sharing with you a set of 3 Tags. Well, today was quite a productive day!!!Wonder why??? Perhaps cos it snowed and I just love the brightness it brings....
But my younger daughter got hurt a bit though cos her cycle fell as it was slippery.

So, I got inspired by this photo at Curtain call challenge. Actually the Tree and the presents :)


Here is what I created (Have you sent Santa your crafty list)
