Dragonflies

Hubby dragged me kicking and screaming to Costco yesterday afternoon..........bet he wishes he'd left me at home now lol They've got the first of their Christmas stock in so I picked up gift tags (not sure how many will end up on gifts though!), a huge pack of gorgeous tissue papers, two rolls of ribbon - one gold with holly on, the other blue with snowflakes - I managed to stop with two when I realised there was a whopping 50 yards on each reel! Then when we got to the final aisle they had some very sturdy metal trolleys with  7/8 drawers in - ideal for the craft room, so I got two...........and he paid for it all :)


Using a digital background and image from Stitchy Bears, layered onto a scalloped nestie square and finished with a stamped sentiment and some black gems. The dragonflies have been highlighted with a glaze pen.

Challenges entered:
Less is More - things that move
Cards for Men - anything goes
DYSU - boy/man
Hooked on Crafts - things with wings

    Sounds like you did well at Costco... I don't think that we have a branch anywhere near here...don't know if that's a good thing or not.
    The background on this one is gorgeous Carole... just beautifully done.
    Thanks so much
