Glitter Me Silly

Our challenge at Cupcake Crafts this week is to use red and green – easy peasy!!  I’m sure there’ll be lots of lovely Christmas cards popping up over blogland with this challenge.

We are pleased to welcome back The Creative Cottage as our sponsor this week and if you have not visited their blog yet you don’t know what you are missing!

They create the most fantastic digital kits that have a selection of funky design papers and elements all of which are suitable for either scrapbooking or cardmaking! Their current kits have the cutest little robins, a fairy and forest friends and even Cupcakes to tempt you! They have recently launched paper packs without the extra elements so you can just purchase the design papers on their own. Their kits are great value as you get to print the papers and elements whenever you need them so you’ll never run out of your favourite papers!

The Creative Cottage are offering one lucky winner the chance to win TWO of their digital kits this week!

Had a fabulous weekend visiting my buddy Steph along with my two other new buddies Kate and Aimes.  We were all down in Essex for Steph’s fantastic PTI Make and Take – Click to see some photos – Make and Take Weekend.  There were about 30 of all together and it was just such a brilliant day.  I travelled back last night and am exhausted but I just have to say to all the girls who I met – it was so nice to meet up with you all and thank you for making it such a huge success for Steph.  The amount of time, effort and precious PTI stash that went into it all was incredible.  I really hope to see you all again sometime.  Oh, and I was tickled pink to have won the raffle draw too – how lucky am I???

This is my last “Hostess” challenge over at Mo’s Digital Challenge blog and this week we’d like to see you use more than one image to create a Christmas scene.  I have combined 4 images using Photoshop – very easy when you know how, honestly.  I have used Noelle With Gifts, Christmas Tree, Door with wreath and if you look closely the cute little Winter Delivery squirrel.

I have coloured the image with ProMarkers and then sprinkled flower soft for the snowy bits.

Okay, hope to see you over at the blog this week and to all those reading from the States – Happy Thanksgiving.

I have to admit a shiver went down my spine when I saw this challenge this week at PFP!  I don’t “do” vintage so was way out of my comfort zone.  I liked Natalie’s use of this stamp on her card so as I had it in my collection thought I copy and use it too!!  I actually like how it turned out so may actually make a few more like this.  Speaking of our Natalie, sadly she has had to step down from the DT which is a real shame.  We’ll miss you lots sweetie.

Our sponsor this week is Yellow Moon and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store. Please have a look over on the blog and check out the other cards done by the DT – they’re gorgeous as ever.
