Hi everyone, I'm here with today's make for the Polkadoodles Sudio 12 blog post. I hope you are all looking forward to Christmas.  I have only just started shopping myself which is very late, but there's not much I can do about it now is there lol.  Anyway getting back on track I've made a real cute little wall plaque/tray/hanger/thingy! not really sure what to call it if I'm honest.  This was a little wooden box that had wooden embellishments in it, I've had it knocking round the work room for a couple of years now.  I always knew I would do something with it and inspiration hit yesterday.

I used a few different stamps from the studio 12 and Susan Weckesser studio 12 stamps, shrink plastic and Sakura Stardust and Wink of Stella pens.  I painted the box with mushroom and light blue acrylic paint then I used scraps of backing papers from the Studio 12 Collection 1 CD in each compartment.  I added a  few odds and ends from my stash to finish it off.

 I took this pic with it by a ruler so you cab see just how small and cute the shrunk elements are.  Each compartment is just a smidge over 3cms so that shows the scale for you.

Here are the remaining Creative Expressions TV samples from my last show.  The Creative Expressions DT have now been given these Henna stamps and are making some fabulous creations with them, you can check them out of the Creative Expressions Facebook page and on the team Blog.

If I don't get back before Christmas I hope you all have a wonderful time.

Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh .......................
Sorry I just had to get that off my chest.

I won't bore you all to death by rambling on about my particular problems, but lets just say it's been a totally crappy week.  In my grand plan for this month I would have finished all my work this weekend. Well we all know what happens to plans don't we?  Imagine one of them annoying buzzers from a TV game show that means you got a it wrong and that's whats been going off in my head at very regular intervals.  So here I am on the 9th December and I've yet to do my pressie shopping, well I have four which I managed to pick up when I've been out for other things.  That means I've still 99.9% left to get and for some reason Lappy won't recognise Microsoft office so I can't even get to my pressie and card lists because they won't open.  I am starting to panic I don't mind admitting. I still have loads of work to get done, fit in some shopping somewhere along the line and most importantly find some wonga to get said shopping with.  And don't even mention xmas cards lol.  Ah the joys of Christmas!

Don't forget to pop along to the Polka Doodles Challenge blog for some inspiration and why not even entre, you never know you may just win.
