Wow this was a hard challenge. I pulled out my new LOTV and then thought about my House Mouse stamps, but in the end I chose to use a clear stamp set called Critters by Penny Black. When it comes to 'cute' Penny Black have been top of my list for many years and this set is one of my all time favourites.
Being part of the Bah! Humbug! team has meant that this year I have so many Christmas cards ready to post that it's just unbelievable. It's also great because it will allow me to just play and make things for Christmas that I normally wouldn't have time to do. This week I decided to make a wall hanging.
The top part of the hanging is bauble shaped and was cut out on my Cricut machine using one of the Christmas cartridges. The other sections were made using nestie die cuts attached to ribbon.
Each of the medallions features a different creature from the stamp set and each was coloured using Promarkers.For a really neat finish I sandwiched the ribbon between the scalloped mirri board circle and a plain white scalloped circle. I added glitter to each for more oomph and a couple of red gems to adorn the holly.
My project was made with the following extra challenges in mind...
- Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Don't be square
- Die Cut Dreams Christmas Club - ribbons, glitter and gems
- A Spoonful of Sugar - Sparkle and shine
- Anything goes - Christmas has come early

Okay clever clogs! I have to ask how on earth you find the time when you have work ... and your mum ... the house to run and your girls to think about? I reckon you've stolen Santa's wee elves and have them captive in your cellar helping you with your Xmas goodies LOL! If you have then please don't be selfish and let me share OR I'LL TELL LOL!
This wall hanging is absolutely adorable - all those cute characters are perfect for this project which will look fabulous and stand out amongst all your other decorations.
