I thought I would have a break from the Christmas cards and get out my cuttlebug and my dies and make a pretty embossed card.
Lil Ballerina by Mo’s Digital Pencil fit the bill perfectly, I just love her chubby legs.
The flourish dies are by My Favorite Things the silk ribbon from Ribbon Carousel and the drop charm is from Wholeport
Coloured with Copic markers
Oh I love this little Ice family, jolly, fat, icy and adorable.
Ice Family is a Fairydoodles design by Teddybo another of her pencil drawings which are a dream to colour. My papers and sheer ribbon are from Ribbon Carousel
They look so snug in their winter coats, hats, scarfs and mittens.
I think each morning is getting colder and colder, I even drove to work with a hot water bottle on my knee one morning, you can see the road glistening and yet they still drive like maniacs, I see an accident most mornings on my way to work, really folk come on…. do you really think it would be a Merry Christmas for your family if you hurt yourself or worse.
Stay safe and have a very Merry Christmas.

I stumbled upon this idea tutorial for a Christmas Sleigh gift and thought it would make the most fabulous place settings for the Christmas dinner table.
Well who doesn’t love chocolate? Not many that's for sure.
****UPDATE****
The tutorial video can now be viewed on either my YouTube page here https://youtu.be/7QrUrqJPmPM
or on a more recent page of my blog here http://www.jakheath.com/2020/12/make-your-own-chocolate-santa-sleigh.html
The idea for the place setting only came when I gave my daughter a peek at what I was making for Jack and she cried “I want one too Mam” so what was once to be only two or three soon became eight that I needed.
I ran out of bits for my place setting so I still have 1 left to complete but I was itching to show you all.
Aren’t they sweet? (pardon the pun) I even found some little chocolate Santa’s to drive the sleigh.
As you can see we have candy canes, KitKat, miniature Cadbury chocolate, Kinder bars, chocolate coins and in the adult ones Dime Bars. I tied it all together with ribbon from Ribbon Carousel
Come on get out those glue guns and set to work on a treat to remember at the Christmas dinner table.

Well we trailed the streets on Saturday searching for Christmas presents although we have something already for Jack he is in need of a new coat so we thought we would get that too, we ended up in Marks and Spenser and soon spotted the perfect coat to keep him warm and toasty, then Chris spotted it, “we have to get it” he said so we bought a Christmas outfit for him too, he has his nursery party and then of course there is Christmas day.
So here it is, Jack’s first suit. and doesn't he look dapper? and only 3 years old.
I immediately thought I should scrapbook this so I used My Memories Suite and made a couple of pages.

I had to show you this, poor guy. I first spotted him on my pal Mina’s blog and just knew I had to have him.
Melted Man from Teddybo’s Fairydoodler and better still they have a sale on.
I used regular Fishtail Banner stax by MFT Dies to cut out the patterned papers.
My ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel , and the button from Dainty Paperie, image coloured with Promarkers and Prisma Pencils.
Twine from Ribbon Carousel
This one has a Santa bell from Wholeport tied onto the twine.
Poor little guy.
