Always love seeing your work girls and the ideas are coming thick and fast for my hubby's Anniversary card in January. I haven't decided as yet (although some great ideas) so if you would still like to be in with a chance to win a little something for the idea I use pop by the post further down, you can't miss my cry for help lol.

On to this card although you should be seeing this on wednesday I have posted at night hence the rubbish photos but I have a lot to make and things to do (as we all do) so won't be by much. Lovely Grand son is back tomorow oh he is my little babe growing so fast and changes and does something new every time we see him (sorry proud grandma going on). I have tags for the Tim Holtz (TH) blog to do, this is fun made my first so this will be posted too! (soon) (see the side bar if you fancy joining in too lots of prizes to go around).

This is for the lovey challenge blog Basic Grey the sketch this week is by Tara (fab sketch hun have used it twice already) and will be posting some easel cards I have made for some other challenges for this week.

Love this BG paper very Christmassy with out the tackyness it's lovely although I have quite a few faves I must start using them some more! The image is lovely too, she is too cute and I have seen so many new releases of late with other companies I wonder if any one will get anything to eat this Christmas!

Friday sketchers Ch 80

Hello Sunday already where does the time go? I have two posts to put up but think I will leave the other until tomorrow as I have lots of Christmas cards still to do, and a few to go off to Australia and USA and if I don't get them posted soon they will be late.

So onto this card for Friday Sketchers ch 80 I thought I would use this cute image, it's a new one. I have followed the sketch and also added a sentiment as there was no allowance on the sketch for one. The prize should you win, is a Magnolia stamp. It also looks like a new website to buy some of these lovely images is open, I will have to go have a look (but must be good as it's only 4 wks to go until Christmas) funny I was only saying I haven't seen these beauties on sale and now it looks like there is one, wonderful. Oh and my WOJ stamps finally arrived on Friday, so I will post something soon.

I know the photos are a bit blury, so sorry try as I might I couldn't get a good clear photo of this card at all so I am sorry. I do love the image by CC Designs and the sentiment is my WOJ (part of the new stamps that came). The sketch was unusual and I enjoyed making this card so try stop by the blog and have a go for your self there is planty of time I am quite early on this one woo hoo. Thank you for looking. Love Dawn xx

Items Used:- Copics to colour image. Stamps, Image Kraftin Kimmy, Sentiment WOJ. Cardstock SU. Ribbon Stash flowers with gems also from stash (sorry I think they were a freebie of a mag a long long time ago) Charm from Bunny Zoes.

BTC&G 2 & Papertake Weekly

Hello again Her is one of my New Sugar Nellie Stamps (still NO WOJ order though, so upset)Well Winter is here, it is SO cold, all the more reason to stay in and craft. However, the light is rubbish!

I am entering this is for two Challengers based on Winter/Christmas. The first is BTC&G Ch2 the DT have done a fantastic job yet again, I would like to enter again with a none card item, i'm in the middle of making a scarf. However, It's another wreath I would like to have a go at, larger than the Halloween one I did for last months Autumn challenge. iI's just finding the things I want to put on it, not seen what I want just yet so don't know if that will be in time! The other challenge is PTW Challenge lovely examples again from the DT so pop along to these challenge blogs and have a nosey really inspirational!

The Copics are going well still, I really loved this DP paper I picked up ,never heard of it before so will have to get some more. I bought two single sheets it's dble sided so only used one of them on this card but I have to say YUMMY Paper. I think the colouring is going well but I still can see lots of room for improvement.
