THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS ~ NEW CHALLENGE AT ORANGE PAPERIE & A GIVEAWAY

Hello !
Well the year is flying ever so fast , but the new challenge is posted at Orange Paperie  and I sure hope you can find the time to join us.
The challenge is a colour inspired challenge ~ to use Gold, Silver and white. How pretty is that !
The lovely Janice Nicholls is our GD for the month and has created a beautiful layout. So pop over and check out the inspiration and also visit Janice's blog to see her lovely work.
My layout is of my Grandchildren putting my DD's Bauble on the Christmas Tree. As many of you know it is out tradition to have a family dinner on my DD's Birthday and then put the tree up together as a family. As Chels could not be home due to work my Grandchildren put her bauble up for her and were pulling sad faces as she was not there.
I love Reindeer's and Scrapmatts have the most gorgeous range. 


I sprinkled the reindeer with glitter, but they look fantastic in their raw state as well.
I have framed the layout with thin gold wire.
I really hope you can find the time to join us this month.
On another note, I had the pleasure of Lizzy Hill stay with me for a couple of nights. We did a lot in those two days ~ we talked a LOT, managed to have a coffee and citrus tart, I took Lizzy on a little tour of my town (lots more to see Lizzy, so you have to come back) and scrapped. I hope it's not to long before we get together again. I so wish I lived near this lady. I was to busy talking and scrapping to take any photo's , but the other girls took some , so I am sure you will see them popping up on their blogs.
OK I must get organised and get out of my PJ's
And before I go I would like to share this fabulous giveaway from Scrapfriends. Boy I would love to win all this goodness
Who wouldn't love to win this, so pop over to Scrapfriends and check it out.
Also Craftqueen is celebrating 7 years in business and is having a give away (The pic is in my sidebar at the top). You will have to be quick, as it is being drawn tomorrow afternoon 6th Dec 
Love and Peace
