Lotsa Pics & A Trio Of Challenges :)

I realised that I haven't done too many challenges for a couple of weeks cos time has run away with me. So today I managed to find a couple of crafty hours and I've done a couple of cards.

The first card is for 2 challenges - Just Magnolia which is a colour combi challenge, namely pink, grey and optional black. Well say no more, cos they are just my kind of colours :)

I combined this with the really lovely sketch by Heather over at Truly Scrumptious ....

... and this is what I did.

Tilda was coloured with the old PMs - they've had a little rest and now it's back to work for them!!! And there's a bit of Glamour Dust sprinkled about as well. I used Classic Circle Nestabiliities for the image base.

You can get them as well as Pro Markers and Miss Tilda and her pals over at Dies To Die For. And there is a fab offer on for the new PM colours (which, shock horror, I haven't yet got, so I for one have got to investigate this one lolxxx)

I punched the flowers (they were being lippy lol xxx) and used buttons and Craftwork Cards Card Candy for the middles.

All the papers are Pink Petticoat - Mini Little Big Dots, Stripes, and the grey with teeny black dots is black dots from Bloomin Doodles which was then over printed with a silver solid.

Is it my eyes or is this pic a bit fuzzy ????

Ahh that's better.

Here's the arty farty angle shot which doesn't show the dimensions too well but there is some there cos I don't really like 'flat'.

So that's the first card.

And here's the second.

I just LOVE this image - she is so sweet and she's all kitted out in her Christmas clothes. She is Milly on her Reindeer and she is one of the gorgeous Christmas stamps by the fabbytastic Janet at Pink Gem.

Not only is she available, but there are some new stamps on sale today so nip over and check it all out cos they are FAB :)

So this is the card I did using the gorge sketch over at Sketch And Stash which has been done by Tanja. I coloured Milly with PMs and I also did the snow thing again with some Flower Soft. I think it looks fab - just like crunchy snow :)

The red checked papers is a download from Mad About Cards and the ribbon is a bit which I found in my ribbon box and I added 3 bells which really 'tinkle' I THINK I got them from Creative Pastimes but I wouldn't swear to it.

And that's me card.

No matter how hard I try, I just cannot get the photo editing right when I use red and green. If anyone else has had this prob and knows how to resolve it, please please pretty please tell me how to fix it, cos it drives me mad.

Well I am off cos it's SCD and XF tonight. Now I have to say that Joe Calzaghe did show signs of getting better in the group dance last night so maybe there's hope. But now I saw Ricky Whittle dance, well he is for sure going to win. Not only is he gorgeous, but he is just a brilliant dancer. And shock of the week is old Tuffers cos he was quite good I thought.

So I'm off for a nice glass of something white and nicely chilled - no not lemonade!!! Kyla has been to a party today and she's just going to bed, Emma is off out to a pary tonight so it's just me and the tricky one, who is now fully recovered from his fall, and thank you for all your nice comments re that xxx

Just like Arnie, I'll be back ............ tomorrow, cos (and I really can't believe how this week has flown), it's time for another Anyone For Anya challenge.

Have a fab Saturday night and hugs to all xxx
