A matching set ...

I hope you will be able to join in!

I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer for Polkadoodles and this is my very first inspiration project for this week's Friday 'anything goes' challenge on the Polkadoodles Blog  

I have made a Christmas ornament and a matching Christmas gift pouch which would make a nice gift for a baby's first Christmas.  I used the same cute little polar bear pre-coloured image, digital paper and digital sentiment, all from Winnie White Christmas set.  

A close up of the Christmas tree ornament - that little bear is so cute!

Here you can see the sparkly tinsel, ribbons and my handmade sparkly silver poinsettia which has an 8mm s/adhesive gem in the centre

and finally a close up of the embellishment on the gift pouch

I hope you will be able to join in and I am looking forward to seeing what you make!
