Happy Birthday Friend

This card is for the sketch this week on Design Dollies:



It also uses the 'Christmas arrangement' digi image given on There's magic in the air for Magical Monday 'glitz it up' (i'm a bit behind with this, but I'd already downloaded the image intending to take part in the challenge, so thought I would still do so, so that I hadn't got the image under false pretences) - here is the digi:

I coloured with copics. The paper with circles is Chloe's closet Derby days and the plain pink paper is My mind's eye Bella Bella Bellezo.

The card is also for these challenges:

Colour create 34: 'pink, burgundy and ivory'
One stop craft 60: 'recycled' - the 'friend' was rescued from a card received long ago
Bee crafty 20: 'circles' (I've included a digi image as required)
365 day 298: 'running in circles' - 'Put a minimum of TEN circles on your card and try to avoid overlap as much as possible' - they're all there on the paper
Incy wincy 23: 'inspiration picture' - inspired by the circles
Copic creations 18: 'pine tree branches'
If the shoe fits Fashionista Friday 15: 'Colour your world' - favourite colouring medium (copics) and colour (burgundy pink)
Get sketchy: 'colour challenge - use your favourite colour'

New Year Faith Hope Love

This card is based on a download digi from Scrapping with angel. The pearls are Prima.

There are a few challenges around atm calling for a New Year card, which is just as well because I need to make one or two.

So this is good for:

Stampavie 75: 'Happy new year 2010' (I hope using a digi stamp is OK)
Paper cutz 22: 'New Year'
Doodle palace: 'New Year card' (I've included a 'digi' as stated)
Everybody art 71: 'Happy New Year'
Penny's challenges: 'Monochromatic New Year'
Corrosive 43: 'blingy' (the Prima pearls)
Try it out Tuesday 48: 'bling it out'
Paperplay 46: 'new beginnings'
Daring cardmakers: 'new beginnings'
Alphabet: 'J for jewels' (the pearls)

It's WOYWW day again!

This last week seems to have gone quickly, although in some respects it has dragged a bit because I haven't been able to get out because of the snow and ice.

Anyway, it's WOYWW day again - so without further ado, here are my photos for today - not much different to last week, other than that they are difference boxes:

BF December twinchies received

Postie brought me the Christmas twinchies from the group on BF organised by Nicky - thanks, Nicky. They are so lovely:
