Brrrrr, It is a very cold dismal day here in Edinburgh, Winter has finally arrived, which I suppose is appropriate, as today, I am posting my 1st Project as a DT at Winter Wonderland. I want to thank you all, again, for all your support and kind comments during the week. Also I would like to say that Mhairi and Allen's party was FABULOUS, we all had a great night, and I was embarrased with a bunch of flowers, well the tears started, and I am not a teary person, but my All my kids were beautiful, my grandchildren were gorgeous, and here was my daughter giving ME...flowers......I got home about 4am and immediately I was in the house, the cold became a full blown COLD, and I slept most of yesterday, Mhairi and Allen turned up last night, we had a Chinese together, I think they are going to have a great life together.
Winterwonderland want us to make a Candle Holder or Stamp a Candle, I took delivery of some Tim Holtz grunge board, WOW, how fabulous is this ordinary looking stuff.....I had a Yankee Candle from last year that I had not used, so I made a candle holder, I painted the grunge board with Acrylic Paints (don't ask me what colours I used to get the final result, LOL) I made a gold marble effect, (which is not very visible on the on the picture) with gold acrylic and shaving foam. I moulded it into a holder for the candle and used FF images and gems to decorate. I finished it off with some ribbon from my stash, Hope you all like it and all take part in our Challenge over at Winterwonderland this week, The DT's who are a talented bunch of girls, that I am in AWE off have outstanding projects to show, so come on girls, pop over and take part.....Love to you all.

Hiya Avril
you have done an awesome job with your first dt creation, I love working with acrylics sadly dont do as much now with them as I used too!

This is a fantastic creation well done Avril. So glad the party went well.
Re the packaging on my candle. The basic Acetate box was the packaging for a reed diffuser air freshener which I tarted up. I may take it apart and create a template and if I do I'll let you have it. Mind you I've got that much crafting to catch up on at the minute it might have to be for next Christmas.
Love, Pat xx
It's gorgeous Avril! Love the image, so cute!
