Hooked On Crafts Challenge 14.....

Morning,
Where did the weekend go,I blinked and think I missed it....Today is time for another challenge over at Hooked on Craft,can't believe that we are up to challenge 14 already....This time we have the theme of......


CHRISTMAS....


This challenge will run from 12th  December until 24th December....


The team will then be taking a break and we will be back with a new challenge on
the 9th January 2012

Here's what I made.....


I would like to enter the following Challenges.....

Make it Monday - Anything Goes
Dream Valley Challenges -  Christmas
Paper Sundaes - Anything Christmas
The Squirrel & the Fox -  Christmas 


For this challenge I decided to make a money wallet for my daughter as that is what the bulk of her Christmas presents will be money,it will be her Birthday in January also and she is going to London with friends shopping so asked for money for Christmas and her Birthday......I thought it would look so much nicer put into a wallet,then a box and put under the tree.....And as purple is one of Katy's favourite colours I used that as my colour theme...The papers are from last year and I can't for the life of me remember who they are by..... The image is from Hooked on Craft coloured with promarkers,.I've used my Go- Kreate dies to cut out the image and all the mats....



I've decorated all the layers with the same paper and the added some embellishments......The white card in the center is to try and show you the acetate which will hold the money in place,it will be taken out...All the flowers and pearls are from Hooked on Craft,the ribbon from my stash.....

What a great way to give money for a gift. I really like the idea of the acetate for the pocket since usually it's hidden!
Purple must be a popular Christmas colour this year. I see it showing up more and more! It's so fun and unexpected.
Thanks for sharing! :)
