A Reminder And Some News.

 Good evening crafters, it's been a beautiful day,I can't believe how strong the sunshine was for October! We certainly are being spoilt!

I just thought I'd give you a little reminder that there is just under one week left if you like to join in with my challenge theme at Ladybug Crafts,

"Pierce, Sew or Inky Stitch!"

I know, there's not an awful lot of Inky Stitching here but if you look carefully at the bunting you might see some lol!

Check out that gorgeous little face just peeping out from the pram! The image doesn't actually come with a hair bow but I double stamped the pram and used the bow from there!

Whilst you're here, let me share some news with you, Kerry has been busy lining up some new images for you to play with and next week there will be a new release, I CANT WAIT to show you the one that I've got, it's a stunner! Anyway, grab the banner and add it to your side bar to remind yourself to check it out!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

BMC107, Ribbon, string,twine,

Inky Chicks 14, Two different die cuts,

LRC73, Polka dots,

Use It Tuesday 65, Scraps,(paper off cuts for bunting),

Doubling Up

I was lucky enough to find a little time to craft today so thought I'd add to my Christmas card pile.

I picked up this Nitwits snowman in a 

magazine giveaway set.

Thought it would look perfect with a masked corner and a sprinkling of Glamour dust and added shading with Polychromos.

I just double stamped his scarf, also cutting between the two ends and adding a tiny foam dot. I liked it so much that I made a second one.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

LIM140, WOW Christmas,

Speedy and Friends 180, Snow scene,

Craftitude 50, Beginning with S,

KIS24, White,

MIM160, Anything goes.

Put Your Fingers In Your Ears!

The theme at Southern Girls is,

"Sing Out Loud!"

So I'm hoping you read the title!

It's team Lou's turn to shine this fortnight, I'm hoping that the rest of the team are more tuneful than myself lol!

As usual Trace has lined us up some amazing sponsors,

I've used the rather gorgeous "Snowy Postbox" by Delicious Doodles who are one of the sponsors, please check the challenge blog for full details!

 

I love this image, it's perfect even without colouring, just a few dabs of stickles is all that's needed. 

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Use It Tues, Use 2, (Red Snowflake and Twine)

Inky Stitch, Pierce Or Sew

Morning, it's only 9 am and I'm already on my second post of the day! Goodness, I'm going to be busy when I get home from work, linking up all of the challenges! 

It's my turn to host the Ladybug's 

Totally Ladybug Tuesday Challenge,

and as piercing my paper is one of my favourite techniques, I thought I'd like to see how everyone else does it so that I can pick up some tips ;), if you don't like piercing, you can either inky stitch or get out your sewing machine.

This is my first ever attempt at colouring only with Prisma pencils. The talented Sally has shared hints and tips with me but I really could do with more practice. I haven't really done Football Jack justice! 

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
Squirrel and Fox 53, Birthday,
CMM74, Childs card,
Crafty Catz 200,Happy birthday,
Totally Papercrafts 186, Stitching.
