Lots to Do Challenge

The Challenge on Lots to Do this week is "embossing". I would have loved to do something with some metal and my Ten Second Studio tools, or even some Cuttlebug stuff but have so much catching up to do that I really had not the time. So here is my entry - just simple gold embossing.

My daughter in law, Sam, had me make eight of these for her birthday table last year when she was having some friends over. Obviously she did not keep them because she asked me to make two more for Christmas for her and Andy to have on their table this year. "Sam - you had better keep these".

She only wanted "swirls" on her pyramids so I made another one for someone - probably fill it with sweets or something for Chas' aunt - with Christmas Angels on. Sorry these do not show up in the photograph but my camera could not perform any better and so I lost patience after downloading three attempts.

Some of you may remember seeing these when I had an article published in Craft Stamper but it was 2005 when it was submitted (can't remember when it was published) so maybe you don't remember. I do have the magazine somewhere as I saved all the ones with my work in.

Anyway, sorry my entry is nothing more exciting. Who knows, might get around to doing something else another day.
