Last minute Christmas at Fab'n' Funky

 Good morning! Brrr, another chilly one here! Fed up with the ice and snow now, just want it to go away! The novelty wore off extremely quickly especially now that it's so dangerous and slippery outside, lovely and warm in here though- I'm having the heating on, I'll just whinge about it later when we get the bill!

Marvin was a bit bemused by the snow at first, not at all sure what to make of the cold white stuff in his garden. He looked really funny hopping around, trying not to leave his feet in it for too long, soon got used to it though and had a lot of fun playing with equally excited dogs in our local woods. Yesterday he took his precious ball out in the garden and spent ages burying it under the snow and then raking it back up again! Then he decided to lie down in the snow, staring at his ball -willing it to move- so I made him come indoors! 

First experience of snow- not quite sure- but tail is wagging!

Snow is not up to his chest- he's lying down -crazy dog!

Today sees the start of our last challenge this year over at Fab'n' Funky,

 the theme is Last Minute Christmas. 

For me it's always tags I need at the last minute- every year I say I'll start them earlier...and every year I don't, so, of necessity, they need to be fairly quick to make! I found an old pack of kraft tags I'd forgotten about, stamped and embossed the sentiments then drew and cut out some simple red 'hats'. They looked a bit plain so I made a kind of stencil and spread my home-made texture paste through it (paste made with baby powder, whit paint and glue- smells lovely!) Stuck on the wobbly eyes and a red Crystal Drop nose, a tiny pompom for his hat. added red bakers twine. Finished with white faux stitches and die cut snowflakes. Took me longer than I planned to make but I do like them!

My lovely team have made some super projects if you're stuck for inspiration for those last minute makes so please hop over here to enjoy them- hope to see you join in with your own fabulous creations.

Thanks for visiting

Chris
