I'VE GONE A BIT PASTEL

Hi Everyone

I hope your weekend is going well.

I have been busy making Christmas cards (surprise, surprise) and I was having a quick look through what I had been doing to decide what kind I needed more of when I suddenly realised nearly everything had the colour red as the main focus.  Eeek ... .. that won't suit everyone so time to hit the pastels.

So here is my Christmas pastel creation:

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1873H" Xmouse Ornament!

Backing Papers and Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat

Martha Stewart Punches:  "Star" and "Frond"

Josy Rose:  Gems

Glamour Dust

Star Dust Stickles

Ribbon and cord from the stash box

I think he looks quite sweet!!

I have been experimenting with my photography as my pictures have been coming out rubbish since the nights have been drawing in .. .. .. even getting decent ones in the day has been near impossible.

So I have constructed a work of art on my craft desk which involves the propping up of A3 white card and a daylight bulb in an angle poise lamp.  I think they look a bit better but if you knock the desk accidentally it all falls to pieces LOL!!.

My lovely hubby is going to try and contruct a little "photo booth" for me using an old cardboard box and my white card so that I can actually angle the booth towards the window and catch more daylight.  We shall see how it goes.  If it seems successful I will post a photo .. .. but I will let you be the judge once the construction is complete and I have tried some more shots.

OK then .. .. off to make a few more makes ahead of X-Factor!! 

Oh I love Saturdays!!!
