Show us some Flowers

Hello blog friends happy Friday, I hope this finds you safe and well, I hope storm Ciaran didn't 
leave too much damage in its wake. It woke us at 4am 

the wind was really strong and noisy, it almost took the doors

of our recycling shed. So DH went out and 

zip tied the doors together lol.

It's my Mums Birthday today bless her she's fighting the good fight

against Metastatic Breast Cancer and Parkinsons,  she is one tough lady

and I try to make her laugh everyday, she has been a little wobbly

over the last couple of days, I thinks its because she has to have a CT Scan

every 3 months and it knocks her off kilter for a few days.

Perhaps once she has had some Birthday cake she may feel better.

We have started a new challenge theme over at Crafty Catz this week 

its always anything goes with a twist and this weeks twist Show us some Flowers.

The lovely and very talented Rhoda chose the twist.

Our wonderful sponsor for this week is Jans Digital Stamps

and one very lucky winner will win a $6 shop certificate. 

I used Santa's Gift for my inspiration piece and added some Poinsettia 

with Tim Holtz Distress Oxides in Festive Berries and I also used a Tim Holtz 

Mini Layering Stencils Set 54 it has Poinsettia,  Pinecones & needles and Holly branches,

I also used  some floral papers  from Crafty Wizard and 

they are called Warm and Peaceful they are 6x6.

I decided to make my Father Christmas outfit white and I just love how it turned out.

I think maybe it could have done with a little more darker contrast but as I said 

I'm not unhappy with the result.

I have entered him into the following Challenges:
