Christmas Crackers

This is a rather sad post as it's the last ever challenge at Bearly Mine Designs.  As a result of the new European VAT Laws coming into effect on 1 January 2015 Donna has made the difficult decision to close Bearly Mine Designs on Wednesday 31 December 2014.  She is currently having a 50% off sale over at the Bearly Mine Designs Store so make sure you pop over and take a look.

Our theme for our last challenge is Christmas Decorations (anything but a card) and I have used paper from the Festive Fun and Christmas Wishes paper collections to make some Christmas Crackers.


I printed complementary papers onto both sides of the card stock before using my Tonic Cracker die to cut them out, I then used my Tonic Keepsake Die Set 1 to decorate them.

We have two fabulous sponsors again this month:



and



I would like to enter my Christmas Crackers into the following challenges:

Decorate to Celebrate Challenge 89 - Anything Goes
Inspiration Destination Challenge 9 - Anything goes
We Do Doobadoo Challenge- Get Festive

Make sure you pop over to the Bearly Mine Inspiration and Challenges Blog and check out the DT inspiration, we would love for you to join us for our final challenge.

Thank you for calling this morning, please leave a comment so that I know you've been and will be able to come and visit you.
