A gift for Christmas with Polkadoodles

Good morning folks, I hope you're all warm and safe in this awful weather. I've got a short day at work today with any luck so hopefully the weekend will start at lunch time for me yipppeeeee. This morning though we've got a new challenge starting at PolkaDoodles and we're making Christmas gifts. As always there's a fab prize for our lucky winner and my teamies have created some amazing projects so hop over to the challenge blog for all the deets.



I've made a pretty flower pin using printable canvas and one of the beautiful papers from Here Comes Christmas Cd, I loved the paper so much I printed some more off and used it to decorate a little gift box and a card. The image is also from the same cd, isn't she adorable? I've coloured her up with Graph'It Markers.


Here's a close up of the brooch: 



If you fancy making one, pop over and check out my tutorial on the Polkadoodles blog which will be posted in the morning.

I'd better scoot off to work now so have a great day and thanks for popping by
