Double Challenge Card

This is another double challenge card:-

1. Friday Sketchers #52 - sketch
2. Dare U 2 Digistamp #7 - Lilac & lemon

I have discovered some fabby image stamps and paper set on Funky Fairy today and decided to make a card with them for Friday Sketchers sketch but then noticed that it also contains lemon on the swirly paper and I have used pale lemon ribbon so fits well for DU2DS too. I also decorated inside the card with leftover papers.

Dinky Dots Den Challenge #1

Hi,

Today is the launch of another fabby challenge blog. This time from Dinky Dots Den. The first theme is Halloween so I thought would be great chance to use my "Wizard AJ" and "Witch Lulu" from Dinky Dots Crafts.

The images are coloured with promarkers and backed with green and orange card, cut with nesties on my cuttlebug. The green circle is also put through cuttlebug with circle embossing folder. The papers for the box were a freebie from Funky Fairy with the box template from Cuddly Buddly.

I start nights shift for a 3 months secondment tonight (10pm til 7am). Really looking forward to it as it means I have every evening with Paul and kids where at moment if on late shift (up to 11.30pm) i miss them completely.

Will probably find me posting at very strange times but as it is (generally) quieter on nights then I take some crafting in to work with me so should still be doing challenges and posting daily.
