Good morning, wow, is it Friday alreaady?? I have been so busy I do not know if I am coming or going. Phew, at least it is almost the weekend!! I had a great evening yesterday - my son and his band (singing not brass) had their first proper gig at The Loft in Xscape. They were really fab and got a really good response from the people in the bar. I seemed to be twice the age of everyone else there but who cares!!!!
So, onto this weeks challenge on Stamp Something and we have a SKETCH!!!! Woohoo, my favourite type of challenge!
We were all sent a stamp to play with from our sponsors Dog Gone Stamps so I just had to make a christmas card with it, the sketch is such a lovely one to follow and great for an A5 card. I hope you can visit the blog to see the rest of the cards by the DT and I hope you can all join in - remember you can combine with other challenges too!

Another week already for us all on Just Magnolia and we have a lovely challenge for you all. This week it is PAPER PIECING so lets see your favourite papers being used in a fun way rather than just as backing papers. Our sponsor this week is the lovely Jill from The Hobby House and she has offered a fab prize to this weeks winner.
Well, it is another christmas card from me - aren't I doing well, lol! I love all the non traditional colours and purple is one of my favourite colours for any time of the year. It is also the first time I have used my Diamond Dust - the effect it gives the snowflake is so pretty. You can win some Diamond Dust as part of this weeks prize - I love it and will be using it lots and lots on my cards from now on. I have followed the great sketch over on ICS , good to play along with all my old DT buddies :o)
Here is a closer look at Tilda and that snowflake - I adore Tilda, she is so sweet. Make sure you look at the rest of the DTs cards - you know that they are all just fabulous and will provide so much inspiration.
Remember to pop back tomorrow for a very special Penny Black Saturday Challenge - it is ouor birthday and there are going to be some fabulous give-aways!!
