Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz

What better way to celebrate my new blog with a creation using one of my favourite companies.
Waltzingmouse Stamps.....it's the 17th of Nov which means its Waltz time! Yeah....

The theme this month is Winter/Christmas 



 I have used Pic Nic Patterns and stamped the background using real red by Stampin Up
The basket from Bountiful Basket Additions is paper pieced onto Kraft card from Sew Sweet and the gingham ribbon is also form Sew Sweet
I was gifted Bountiful Baskets from my fabby friend Cathy who happens to be featured in The Big Cheese this week over on the Waltzingmouse blog.

I have used this weeks sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge....fabulous inspiration from the girls over on the blog. So talented.


I stamped the poinsettias twice and coloured and cut one set out and then popped it up for added effect!

It's so good to be creating what I enjoy the most...Clean and Simple lines

I look forward to seeing what you have created.

Thank you for Waltzing by
