Good Afternoon Crafters
I don't know what weather you are all having this Sunday afternoon, but here in South Wales we are having a mixed bag here - sunshine one minute and rain the next!! My poor chooks don't know whether to be inside or out!
Well, after a panicky week of not being sure whether I could join in this week or not, I have now managed to join in with this week's Grungy Monday Challenge as well as Simon Says Stamp Challenge wish asks for a tag!
The reason I was not sure whether I was joining in is that on Monday evening, having inked up and embossing powdered some flowers to make a schparkly poinsettia, my lovely heat gun decided that it was time to call it a day! To say I was gutted was an understatement. I loved my heat gun and hardly a day went by without my using it.
I trawled the internet to see if I could find the same one but to no avail. I then went to my usual internet shop for crafty things Craft Obsessions and ordered a replacement. They e-mailed me on Tuesday telling me it was despatched and then I waited. And waited. And waited. It finally arrived on Friday! Hurrah!! Let's hope this one lasts as long as my old one.
For the Grungy Monday Challenge this week the lovely Linda sent us HERE where we saw Tim demonstrate a technique involving vellum.
I could not resist using my lovely new Reindeer Die for a Christmas tag. Hope you like it. I think it will be featuring on a lot of Christmas cards this year. Do you realise it is only 140 days away?!!!

What a beautiful tag! Glad your replacement arrived in time - I shuddered at the mental image of it calling it quits - love how you've curled the vellum around your reindeer. Thanks for your nice note on my blog, Hettie.
Funny we had the same weather. Glad you got your heat gun in time, your tag is outstanding. The reindeer is awesome.
