I've used a couple of stamps which are fairly new to the Artistic Stamper selection, and they're perfect for wintry and festive creations, so do hop over and take a look.
But before you go, I'd also like to announce the winner of my 500th Post Giveaway. I printed out all the names, chopped them up, folded them, and popped them all into a bowl and - with eyes closed - drew out the winning name. And the ATCs (plus extras!) go to....
Hettie of Hettiecraft
Congratulations, Hettie! If you'd like to drop me an email (there's a link in the sidebar here) with your full address, I'll get your little goody package in the post as soon as possible. Thanks so much to everyone for joining in, and I'll be back soon with more of the next 500 posts!!
I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.

Well done to Hettiecraft! I hope she enjoys her lovely prize. I'm just hopping over to see what you did at the Artistic Stamper! The sneak peek looks great! xxx
Hi Alison... I missed your last 2-3 posts. Just catching up and I know you make such a wonderful and unique winter and Christmas projects. This year is no exception. Loved all of them :) Especially the crackled ATCs are stunning. And today's tag at AS is lovely...great use of snowflake stamps and Christmas tree, its brown :) wow that's why I call unique. And congrats on your 500th post. I always like to come over here to see what you make.
I am behind on blog visits and you know how that can be. Congrats to Hettie! Congratulations again Alison for reaching the 500 mark! Love this tag and that rusty 25!!! Hugs!
Congrats to Hetti what a lucky girl and she will love her ATC with the little extras.
Off to have a mooch at your project for the Artistic Stamper but I am sure it will be brill..

Congratulations to your winner AND your latest tag is winter perfect. The whitewashed base really sets the mood for the falling snow and then the added browns and rusts just set the festive mood completely. A gorgeous make. Weatherman predicts no snow here for Christmas :( What a bummer...but still hoping to shovel some...ha!

I feel the need to apologise for not being around for your Giveaway but, for various reasons, there has been enforced time away from the laptop, leaving me a not very Happy Bunny as I miss the visits to my favourite blogs.
The colours are gorgeous and that rust effect 25 is perfection.
Hope all is well with you.
Wishes
Lynne
Oh My Word!!! Wow!!! I am chuffed to bits. Thank you Alison.
