Spellbinders advent calendar

No, im not talking about the dreaded c word, even i know its too early for that! I got 2 spellbinders advent calendars last year (2024 and 2025) so I have been trying to use what I received. I actually preferred these to the lawn fawn grab bags last year, so if im gonna have to choose between then this year, I'll be picking the calendar.  This week I have made a birthday card, sticking to a simple but elegant design. I also used tonic drops.  Here is the stitch update. I have been contemplating not  doing the white border, because it didn't really make a difference to the mummy stitch, and it would save me about two months of stitching until I can start on the next one.  Until next time Ems

mix and match

I saw a great card made using the spellbinders advent calendar, so decided to add a tim holt window to add my own spin to it.  if you can see Animal from the muppets in the background, it was the only brick wall paper i had! heres the update on the stitch. massive shortfall of 1800 stitches on this colour.  until next time ems

Honk honk!

One of the things in my lawn fawn box was a geese stamp set. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, but im trying to use everything ive got rather than buy new things, so I thought i would give it a go. I saw the semtiment honk if its your birthday, so decided to use that two-fold. I used a tim holtz christmas die to make a car, then added the geese as the occupants. i had to do the car backwards because of the way the geese face. the background trees are also a tim holtz die. I've also been working on the stitch.  until next time Ems
