and

The winner will receive 5 digital images of their choice, which will be tough as Di's has so many adorable images.

I thought I would get ahead with some of my Christmas pressies ...so I have altered a jam jar to hold some little gingerbread biscuits.

I coloured in this gorgeous Sugar Nellie image from the latest release, Knitted with Love, in using my promarkers and then glittered her wings and the knitted heart.  She is matted onto kraft and red cardstock.  I roughly tore some parcel paper and painted the edges with white acrylic paint, and cut a couple of holly leaves of of kraft and painted them.  

I added some red gingham ribbon, a bow and some little heart buttons to the holly leaves.

Finally I decorated the top using a circle of kraft, again painted with acrylic paint, some lace, a snowflake and a luceted flower with a button at its middle.

 Here is my flower .. .I am so proud, I made it all by myself, using my latest new skill, luceting.

 And here it is in the making ... luceting makes braid, a bit like french knitting, and it is really easy once you get going (and have a friend who can fix it when it all goes horribly wrong!!)
