Hi there! We have an interesting Challenge at My Time to Craft Christmas - anything BUT a card! I made a little box using Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Treat Box die. I used Christmas paper from my stash and decorated it using an old Poinsettia die from Marianne, with 3 gold gems for the centre. The tag is made with a Memory Box bauble gift-tag die, I cut the pattern from glitter cardstock and the base from plain green.  I hope you're all on top of things at this stressful time and that you find time to craft and to join in our challenge! Check out my teamies' creations for inspiration!  Thanks for looking and take care!  love Mags B x

  Good morning! I hope you're all looking forward to a relaxing weekend. There's 2 weeks to go until the Big Day and the pressure is mounting - but I hope you can find some quiet time to yourself to do some crafting. Check out our latest challenge at My Time to Craft! where we're looking for Christmas Animals. I used This sketch by Jess Crafts. She has a Youtube channel, too, where she shows how to use up patterned papers leaving no scraps - so useful!  The adorable deer are from Lawn Fawn's Cheery Christmas stamp set, and I added little Christmas hats. The silver-embossed sentiment is also by Lawn Fawn, it's from the Simply Celebrate Winter stamp set. My teamies have made a lovely variety of cards on our them, take a dekko to be inspired!  Thanks for looking and keep well!  love Mags B x

Did you see what I did there? Yes, our new challenge at My Time to Craft Christmas is to Use Kraft card. I just can't resist a good (bad!) pun!  I used items from the latest Papercraft Essentials Magazine free gift, which is a gorgeous collection of wintry papers and cute animal toppers. The soft blues and whites are lovely, and contrast so well with a kraft card base. The image is edged in glitter, and the spotty ribbon from my stash is also subtly sparkly.  My teamies have made beautiful cards as usual, do check them out.  Thanks for looking and take care!  love Mags B x
