Glitter Me Silly

There is a beautiful sketch by Michelle over at A Spoonful of Sugar this week and I had a great time making my card for it (once I gave up trying to fit an arrow into it!!!).  When I saw a few of the other DT’s interpretations I realised it didn’t HAVE to be an arrow!!  I’m trying to get ahead of myself with Christmas cards so expect to see a fair few of them popping up over the next few weeks!  I have dusted off one of my much loved but now rarely used stamps for my card and teamed it with my favourite Doodlebug papers.  The buttons are also DB.  The image is very simply coloured with PMs.

Have a look on the challenge blog at all the other cards for some fabulous inspiration.  I am so lucky to be in three amazing design teams with some utterly uber-talented peeps and am never disappointed when I visit their blogs.  They’re all BRILLIANT!!

We lucky girls over at Passion For Promarkers were given an image of our choice this week from the gorgeous Sally-Ann at the Digi Stamp Boutique.  So after an hour of trying to pick just one out of the fabulous images she has on offer (great value by the way and SOOO easy to colour with your PMs) I chose this sweet little girl – Winter Sophie.  Of course I was drawn to her because of my own little Sophie but I literally could have had any of them.

The challenge is a colour theme this week – Sandstone and Blue Pearl, a lovely combination picked by our fabulous GDT, Caroline and one which made me think of winter – hence Winter Sophie (do you see what I did there?? lol ).  I’ve kept my card quite simple and the ribbon under the image does actually say “Happy Holidays” but the camera didn’t quite pick it up.

Ok, better dash. Our techie guy is coming to sort out the broadband for us in the newly reorganised and relocated office so if you never hear from me again you’ll know it didn’t go well!!

Au revoir.

Firstly, apologies for the slightly blurry photo – my camera skills go down drastically when there’s rubbish light and gale force winds getting in the way!!  You get the idea though!!

This week at Cupcake Crafts as you can see, we have a very patriotic theme of red, white and blue.  I didn’t know what to do to begin with but then found this fabulous digi download over at Summertime Designs.  I can’t recommend enough visiting Summer Driggs’ blog – she is so inspirational and has a lot of kits (aimed at scrapbookers but with lots of gorgeous papers etc) all for free!!  This paper is from the “Freedom” kit and I have teamed it with a fabulous WOJ stamp.  She is, of course coloured with Promarkers.

Well, as I’m preparing this post at precisely 1.30 am I suppose I better keep it short and get to bed!!  It is a school night after all!!!
