Merry Christmas


Sadly yesterday I put my mum on a plane to home -- we had a wonderful time together and she enjoyed a break from the winter cold.... we did lots of chatting, crochet, crosswords, watched tv serials she can't access and we even took her to a rugby game, where are home town Cowboys had a great win.  Family is so precious.
So today I've been able to enjoy the quiet and get to my desk and hopefully I'm not too late to join in the CAS Christmas August challenge - Pine



  • Used some die cuts to create a little candle scene... 
  • Die cut pine sprigs from green card - Winter Wonderland Entwined Holly & Yuletide sentiment from Crafters Companion    and  Sizzix Winter Woodland
  • Die cut the candles from red and yellow card - Memory Box Three Candle Circle
  • Stamped and gold embossed sentiment Crafter Choice Christmas Dreams, on to a white card square panel
  • Arranged and attached all elements to the panel
  • Layered the panel onto a green border and attached to a red card

Thanks for stopping by my blog,  have a wonderful day
Cheers Robyn

    Your candles are so pretty on your pine bough Robyn - we had friends from Germany that traditionally used them on their trees - you sure couldn't walk away and leave that tree before 'turning off' the lights! You are so fortunate to still have your mum and to have had such a lovely visit with her which I'm sure she really enjoyed as well! thanks for joining with us at CAS Christmas! xx

    Adore the picture of you and your Mum - amazing!!! You are so lucky to have her and she definitely enjoys life!
    It's hard for me to get my mind around Christmas -- but I do love you candles!
