GINGERBREAD TWIST SAMPLE, DAY 1

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you are all enjoying this glorious weather we are having this week. I promised in my last post that I would show you some of the projects I have been busy with over the last couple of weeks. 

Over at Studio 12 Nikky Hall has just released the new Picknix 2 Gingerbread Twist CD. Us DT girls have been busy beavering away at samples and the CD made it's debut on Create and Craft this Saturday just gone. I am going to show you the first of four samples I made and promise to bring you another one tomorrow.

There are quite a few pictures to show you the different sides to the box.
























I absolutely love this new CD and it is packed with wonderful images, paper's, sentiments and embellishments. It is so easy to work with and if anyone is scared of the thought of CD crafting don't be. I was the biggest phobic!!!. Through joining the Polka Doodles DT it has made me realise so many benefits and I just love it. 

I laughed so much watching the Create and Craft show as Nigel May was presenting and he started lobbing the sweets all over the set for the crew to munch on, think they went down well!!!. 

 I would like to enter my creation into the following challenges;

 PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - Anything goes
JOANNA SHEEN CHALLENGES - Going dotty
DREAM VALLEY CHALLENGES - Something old, something new (old ribbons from stash and a new CD)
ANYTHING CHALLENGE - Christmas
CREATIVE CARD CREW - Christmas
THROUGH THE CRAFTROOM DOOR - Anything goes

ANYTHING BUT A CARD - Anything goes
CHALLENGES 4 EVERYBODY - Anything goes

I will be back tomorrow with another creation.

Love and hugs Clare xxx

    What a lovely way to present treats to someone at Christmas - or any occasion for that matter! I love the colours and images you've used from the CD - it all works perfectly and you've finished the piece beautifully with the ribbons and a lovely little tag.
    Thank you so much for sharing your work with ABAC's first challenge and I do hope we'll see you again!

    My favourite of all your samples, I think. The funky folds, the great papers and the overall feel of the piece are just terrific. Needless to say, the sweets make it look pretty good too!

    Oh Clare! This is absolutely gorgeous! Will definitely give it a go.
    Thanks for visiting my blog. Last Sunday I buried my 13-year old baby-cat. She was a rescue as are our 3 dogs - previously abandoned but will always be loved, unconditionally. So glad I found your site... we need more angels like you to look out for them.
