White Christmas, and a chance to be a Pollycraft Guest.

Good Morning Everyone!!!
Is everyone almost ready for the big fella in the red suit???
I'm not!!! we have bought ONE present so far...
Hubby has a couple of days off after today, so HOPEFULLY we can get caught up!

The lovely Jane has set us a new challenge over on the challenge blog...
And its a F:A:B one!!

*White Christmas*

This time we would like to see your snowy creations, OR if you are feeling adventurous, lets see your all white cards!!
I went with all white....

I've used Cherry Kisses- Christmas Pudding, coloured with promarkers
The papers are actually off white, and are from the Crate paper orbit collection...
To add a bit of interest I've just cut out different layers with my nesties...and added some pearls and punched snowflakes 
The sentiment is hand written...

This challenge is running for 1 month, which gives my fabulous DT a well earned Christmas break...
and gives all of you plenty of time to join in!

PLUS

We are using this challenge as a Guest Design team call...
If you are interested in being a guest designer for Pollycraft.... pop over to the challenge blog for details...
You'll also be able to view some AWESOME inspiration from my fabulous DT girls....

Thanks for visiting today!!

Update on recent shop issue...

We've recently been experiencing some issues with USA/CANADA orders in the new shop...
I 'THINK' this issue has now been resolved!

If you have previously set up an account and not been able to purchase, please read this page for help.
New registrations should now run smoothly...

I'm so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, I'm SO frustrated as it was a problem with the default set up of the shop, and in 2 weeks of asking for help, all i've been told is that its a paypal outage problem, and I KNEW it wasn't!!!
Anyway, I went over the heads of the so called 'tech support' and hopefully now everything is okay dokey!!

thanks for your understanding and patience over this!

Friday Freebie 'Decorations' and some changes...

Good Morning!!!
Well, I have both my fellas at home today due to the snow... YEY!!
Hubby has been told not to go in to work, and my little mans school is closed until Monday...
SO I think we are going to make a start on Christmas shopping.... (yes, we are THAT behind)

I'm back today with a Friday Freebie...
'Decorations'
IMPORTANT
You can grab him over in the shop, BUT I'm changing the way the freebie works...

I will add a New Freebie on the first Friday of each month...
So the freebies will now be monthly...

The Digi will be listed in the shop as a normal priced product.
To get it free you need to add it to your basket, and use the code:
 'FREEBIE'
and then check out as normal...
the code will be active for 2 weeks...

This helps me keep much better control over where the digis are going, and the length of access time.

I can hear you all sighing that the freebies are only going to be monthly... BUT
in the new year there will be different ways to get your hands on LOTS more freebies... and they are much more fun!!!

I'll keep you posted... but for now here are some DT delights for your viewing pleasure....




Thanks for popping over today....
