CES DT & Challenges!


Morning all. What a change in weather. Looks like the dark nights are looming and Autumn is here to stay.
Today we see a new challenge over at the CES Challenge Blog and this week my teamie Jennifer has chosen the theme "Seeing Red". Well christmas instantly came to mind and found this new uninked stamp which fitted perfectly with their cute santa hats. Its called "Christmas Cuddles" from Wild Rose Studio. The Sentiment is Paula Pascual and the cardstock, St Nick Papers and Promarkers are all available from Crafty Emma's Store. A bit of bling, Silver Viva Peral Pen and Stickles also used. Didnt feel the need to over embellish.
Hope you can join in this weeks challenge, over at the CES Challenge Blog, where you can win a £10 voucher to use instore.
