I was inspired by Pintrest to make this today, I made one last Christmas and I love them, this is a much simpler one than the one I made last year and so took less time to make, I used up some paper I had from last year. Now what will I make hmmmmm. Im addicted to Pintrest. 
gain.
These are two layouts I made today, on the first I used some of the straw that I got for the UKS cybercrop and I used my last bit of lace trim. The second one was fun to make because I used clear embossing powder on the stamped images and then blended some distressed ink over the image. It worked well because I am running out of alphabets. I love the little bird stamp (american crafts) that is over the photo. My Desk is a right mess as you can see no space to work on it, must clean it up!
I played around with some ideas for an ATC swap Im in over in UKS I think I might be getting somewhere now, I stamped one of the Tim Holtz Ideology stamps about 12 times and started adding different textures to it. In these I used very fine glitter, stickles and crackle paint and embossing powder. I have to decide what effect I like the best. I am also working on another idea too Ill pick one to go with tommorrow.
