ABC Christmas - V is for..............

Photobucket


Welcome to another ABC Christmas Challenge.


Thanks for all of those entries last week - over 200 - wow! How much 'Unused Stash' did you manage to get through!!!!
Huge thanks to each and everyone of you who joined in - have you checked out the winner yet?




This fortnight's Challenge is...






V for ..............Vintage






Our fab sponsors for this challenge ...






Vintage Christmas yummi ribbon and lace Prize
 


and




 £10 voucher to spend in store.





I actually found this rather hard this time! 
I binned x2 cards in one day and then decided to try something completely different - and these evolved!




I found these nice chunky pegs stashed in my Christmas box - I obviously put them there for something but can't remember what!


I used UHU to fix Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper to both sides of the pegs. Once that dried I cut around them with a craft knife and sanded the edges. I then added some Antique Linen TH ink to the edges too.
I then decorated each peg with a charm/brad/leaf etc!


I'm not really sure what I will use these for but I'm sure I'll hang something up with them - even if it is the tea-towles!!!




I really look forward to seeing your Vintage Christmas cards this time - After my disasters with this challenge I need the inspiration :)






A challenge or two.....

  8. You are so creative, Carol. You can use them to hang your Christmas cards up on a string. I do that with mine every year.
