NON-TRADITIONAL TILDA WITH A SKETCH

Hi everyone,

How's it all going?  I wonder if you are getting all the preparations in order for Chistmas?  Yesterday I  would have ansered this question with, 'Not a chance' as I was way behind, but today I seem to have got so much done and caught up a little.  I think I can now say 'I am gradually getting there'.

I worked to a lovely Sketch at 'The Sketchy Challenge ' for this card and stuck to non-traditional colours for a change.

ONE STITCH AT A TIME CHALLENGE #143 More than One Fold

Hi everyone

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme this week is 'More than one fold'.   Well I did not need to think twice because I was just in the mood to make an easel card. 

I was lucky to be able to use this lovely 'Santa Sleigh Silhouette' Digi created by Floppy Latte Designs and is available here .  It is the first time I have used a Silhouette digi, well that is not quite true, I think I have used one once, but a long time ago.  This was a joy to work with.

A DIE FOR A SKETCH

Hi everyone

I am just here tonight with a little bit of news for you.

I am thrilled to say I have been asked to join the Design Team at A Die for a Sketch
It is a lovely monthly Sketch Challenge and my first card will be for the January Challenge.  The only stipulation is that you use at least one die, and follow the Sketch of course.  There is a lovely Sketch to follow this month so do pop over and take a look.  I do hope you can join in with us.

We have snow here today, as has most of the UK I think.  Methinks this is a bit early for snow, although it looks very nice,  I am just not ready for it yet!  What do you think?

A very warm welcome to my new followers, and as always a huge thank you to you all for all the lovely comments i am receiving.  These just mean everything to me!

ONE STITCH AT A TIME CHALLENGE #142 - Anything Goes

Hi everyone

Here we are again with a DT post for One Stitch at a Time.  The theme this week is 'Anything Goes'.    We have a fabulous sponsor this week, I was so lucky to be able to use this lovely image by Rick St Dennis called 'Rainbow fairy', what a lovely name!   You simply must pop over and take a look at the gorgeous Digis, they are just beyond belief!

Well I thought she looked quite festive, although I am sure she is also very versatile, but it being this time of year somehow it seemed appropriate to go for something with a festive feel to it.

Pearls and charm  from EBay
