Wow, the weeks are flying by. Getting dark earlier and before you know it, it'll be christmas!
The supermarkets now have all the christmas bits on the shelf and tubs of choccies on special as per usual. I've already lost 16lbs over the last few months so wont be tempted!
This weeks challenge at the CES Challenge Blog has been set by the lovely Amy and she has chosen "Animal Antics". I've had this stamp for ages but never got it out of its wrapper till recently. Its called "Bear & Robin" by Gillian Roberts - Stampavie. I've colours with distress inks and added Stickles. The papers are Basic Grey Pyrus and a lovely doily which I have spirited with Gold Glimmer Mist. Used the Gold Viva Pearl Pen, Rafia Lace and an old wood mounted rubber stamp that I found amongst my never ending pile of stash.
Please do take a look at what my other blogging buddies have made and your more than welcome to join in with the challenge. Remember anything animal related this week.
All those going to Ally Pally this weekend have fun. Edited to say I am hopefully going tomorrow!!
Heres a few challenges my card fits into;
Totally Gorjuss - Christmas
Ai Factory - Anything Goes
Sew Many Challenges - Christmas Themed
Die Cut Dreams - Christmas Furry Things
Crafty Little Place - Colours Brown, Green, Orange
Charisma Cards - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Animal Magic
Stamp with Fun - Stuffed Animals
Christmas Card Challenge - Distressed Cards
ABC - D for Distressing
Now back to play with my Aquamarkers, totally love them and am so impressed. Think they could become my new addiction.
