I regularly find myself sitting staring at an empty blog post wondering how I should start my post...talking about the weather always seems kind of lame and after a depressing week in the news I don't particularly want to start with anything topical either....so what do I talk about and does anyone actually read my ramblings lol! I guess I'll play safe and talk about crafting so what better than to show you my card for this weeks CES Challenges.
We have a brilliant theme this week which has been chosen by Julie and she wants us to MIX 'n' MATCH our DESIGN PAPERS...basically you have to use design papers from 2 different manufacturers...I loved this challenge and had a great time sitting down and rifling through my paper drawer....I thoroughly enjoyed making my card and for once I also enjoyed colouring my chosen image...I love the simplicity of this digi and can see it becoming one of my firm favs! Pop over to CES Challenges for oodles of inspiration from the DT and remember when you play in this weeks challenge you could win a cool £10 gift voucher to spend in Crafty Emma's Store!
