FAB 'N' FUNKY CHALLNGE # 31 ~ IT'S CHRISTAMAS .............JULY!!

Morning all!!
Yep it's an early one for me today, busy day today visiting relatives blah blah blah, so I thought I post early as I might not get round to doing it later!!
This little creation is going into the Fab 'n' Funky challenge # 31 ~ it's christamas in July!!, my first xmas card of the year and I cannot believe its nearly August!!. Where has this year gone??, the weather has just started to get better and it will be autumn soon, then winter and I hate the cold!!. Then the very expensive December, with 5 birthdays in my family then xmas , I need a second mortgage to cope with it lol!!

Anyway, enough rambling, back to the card. This gorgeous stamp is a new one from the lovely Lili of the Valley "Xmas Ted presents", and it came from their fab xmas stamp plate which I received this week.

JUST CUTE BEARS CHALLENGE # 25 ~ SKETCH

Evening all!!

Well it's the end of the week and I am not working this weekend yippeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Been doing a little shopping tonight and I have just bought the complete collection of stamps and cdrom from Crafters Companion new "SWALK" design collection from Create and Craft and to make it better it's on flexi pay, so it only cost me £20 this month and the same next!!. Just soooo love it when they do flexi pay, such a fab idea. So because I have not spent all my money with the new collection I went over to Lili of the Valley and bought 7 new stamps from their Xmas range, so I think I will be busy inking up my new stamps over the next couple of weeks lol!!

So enough spending, tonights creation is going into the fab Just cute bears challenge # 25 and it's a lovely sketch which I really enjoyed doing!!

Evening all!!

Well I have got over the football now, wasn't a pretty game at all,  but at least the best team won and the Dutch are very lucky to have 10 players left on the pitch!! ( should of got down to 9 or even 8 players the way they were playing!!). But as they say, what goes round comes round, so being bad sportsman doesn't get you no where!!

Thats enough talk about the beautiful game, tonights card is going into the fab challenge at Moving along with the times, and its a great sketch from the talented Hazel.
