Today is challenge "45" over at the CES Challenge Blog, cant believe we've been running for nearly a year now and this weeks theme is "Christmas".
I have used James Bear from LOTV and coloured with Promarkers and Polychromo Pencils with Sansador. The papers are BG Wassail and have all been distressed using my new "Distrezz It All" by Zutter. I just love this little gadget, so easy and so effective. A mix of embellishments, some of which you can buy at Crafty Emma's Store and have you seen the amount of new papers available on pre-order. Pop on over to the SHOP for more details but be warned, she also has a fabulous SALE with lots being added.
A few challenges;
2 Sisters Challenge - Christmas in July
Totally Gorjuss - All about Boys
Stamp Something - Christmas in July
Sarah Hurley - Colouring
Paper Pretties - Animals
Use It Tuesday - You are an Animal
Sweet Stampin - One for the Boys

Thankyou to everyone who left Birthday Wishes for Zoe. She had a lovely day and dispite the piles of presses only interested in her Ipod Touch and Great Sounding Speakers. (mums a bit jealous of them). A few of her friends staying over tonight and off for something to eat. Gonna be a noisy weekend and just hoping board games and dvd will occupy them as weather her is very wet.
Woohoo, just found out my card in the post below made the top 3 at
Will catch up with more blogs over weekend and itching to spend some time in my craftroom. Most of the patio is now down in garden and I'm getting excited!
Have a lovely weekend.
