Happy Christmas All and Hatter's challenge 39/40
A very Happy Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2013 to all my blogging friends. It is wonderful to have got to know so many of you as friends and I always look forward to reading your comments and visiting your blogs. Hope we continue to get to know each other even better as time goes by.
Love Chrissie xx
At Out of a Hat this week and next we are doing birthstone colours. I made mine for Janet as we two are still making swaps from things that Janet sent-this is the last one so I have used all that she sent now. This challenge will last 2 weeks as we are all having a rest for Christmas.
Janet's birthday is in November so the stone is Topaz. There are various shades of Topaz but I used the colour that is on the chart at the Hatters.
The board I used is 4x4 inches and was one of the things that Janet sent. I added a bit of lace and coloured that with distressed ink-in fact I covered almost everything in distressed ink. I found several topaz coloured jewels in my bits and bobs box and added those as well and a bit of copper wire to make the hanger.
This is a poem for November birthstones.
Do go to Janet 's blog and see what she has made for the project
Sandra is taking time out until January as she is so busy-she will be back for the first challenge in the new year and she has thought up the idea for that one.
