A golden start to December

This is my second post of the day....If you are looking for my Country View challenge post from this morning you can find it here

My vintage advent calendar is hung and I shall be opening my number 1 window very soon...

There is number 1....ready to reveal it's little scene.

It is also the first Friday of the month so it is time for the new STAMPlorations theme and sketch challenge.
The theme is to use your stamps and gold. You don't have to use STAMPlorations stamps but we do love to see them!

 and below is the lovely sketch you can use if you would like to.

The details can all be found here

I chose to work with the theme and the sketch and got out my sewing machine to stitch the sketch onto gold card.

I then used the fab coffee for all seasons stamp set

and created the card below

It would be lovely to see lots of you joining in with the last challenge of the year and remember you can use my discount code STAMPGIRLJANE at the checkout to get a whopping 20% off your order.

Meet my Elf on the shelf.... or rather the window sill. He has already been up to mischief...

Yes I caught him red handed die cutting...hmmm....this could be an interesting countdown to Christmas....I will report back soon if I catch him doing anything else!

Bye for now,
