I also want to say hello to Annette and to Sue and Lisa (Teamies from the Stamp Man) who have joined me lately. It's lovely to share your work with others isn't it? I will have more fabulous blogs to go and visit.
I have to admit I had several goes at this until I found a piece I was happy with and I made it into a Christmas bookmark. I stamped a frame from the Invoke small funky frames set, printed off Santa Claus and angel from a freebie Gaby Braun Christmas collage sheet. The true story sentiment is from a 7 Gypsies stamp set and I finished it off with some Christmassy bits and ribbon and mounted it on corrugated card from some packaging.
I usually have friends and family round on Christmas Eve for dinner and have Christmas Eve presents wrapped on the table. This year I hope they will all be handmade. This is one to start the collection.
Pretty neat.

Hi Brenda, Your bookmark is truly amazing!! The Santa looks fabulous with the splattered background! Love this bookmark! Have a great Sunday!
Brenda, I'm so glad you're enjoying the challenges, and I really appreciate your kind words!
Your Christmas bookmark is completely wonderful! I love the vintage Santa and you did a spectacular job on the alcohol ink splatter. I love the text stamp you chose, too. The sentiment is truly clever and perfect for a bookmark and fits this piece so well
Love your sweet new blog header, too!
