Christmas & update..

Hi everyone,

 sorry it's another Christmas one today! I had forgotten about this one!

I used Michele R Design Santas coming  papers & elements.
Spellbinders snowflake.
Lots of glitter lol!
Desire snowflake Embossing Folder.

Just an update.

Adam got his divorce yesterday! Such a relief.

They were also told a custody decision has been made and they will go to court next month to find out what that is.

The decision was supposed to be made in a year but it has only taken 3 months.

We have no idea if that is a good thing or bad!

They will be going straight to South Africa if Adam looses.

They will be devastated as they are so happy with daddy. They often cry when it's Mummys turn to have them. 

I have thought about it so much and I would normally say they should be with their mother but not in this case.

I just want what is best for the children.  

Thanks for calling.

MDF Chest & Tutorial.

Hi everyone!

Hubby took the handles off this chest before Christmas.

Seems like it's been floating about forever!

It didn't take very long to decorate once I got started.

.................

I have added a tutorial.

This is how I bought it from The Works.

I painted it using Do Crafts gold pearl paint. Great stuff!

I stamped round the edges with Chloe's Lattice Background stamp and Archival Potting Soil.

I printed off some Michele R Designs paper Basic Vintage

They are called 6x6 papers but I printed it on A4 thin card and it worked great.

I cut 9  2" by 2"squares and stuck and sealed with Decopatch glue.

I stamped onto the Basic Vintage papers using Chloe's 8 petal flowers stamps

& Wow St Tropez Embossing Glitter HERE

I used Chloe's Butterfly Wreath die and red card. I cut the individual butterflies out then dotted them about. I also used some gold swirl bling from Chloe.

I glued the flowers with Collall glue gel.

Well that's it folks hope you like what I made and the Tutorial is ok.
