Morning you lovely lot, the days are flashing by quite quickly now and there's only three more days at work until I can kick back and put my feet up and enjoy the Christmas festivities!

This is the card I made for my gorgeous boy and I just love this lil snowman...he's wearing ski goggles just like Joey Essex and as soon as I saw the image I knew I wanted to use it for James' card.

Cupcake Craft Challenge 218...Sketch

Did you know it's only 43 sleeps until Christmas? I'm well underway with my pressie shopping but still have quite a bit to get. The Christmas cards are coming along nicely too...does this mean I'm going to be mega organised this year? Errrrrm probs not coz there's always something I forget!

It's Cupcake Monday today and it's my turn to choose the theme so I've gone with a sketch. I've tried to keep it fairly simple as I know everyone is so busy at this time of year and I hope you will feel inspired to make something with it. The Cupcakes have made some super-de-duper projects this week and you can check them all out over on the challenge blog.

Here's my sketch....

70th Birthday Card

Hey de ho campers...hope you're all having a good week so far and that the weather is being kind to you...it's pretty warm here the last few days although there is a bit of a nip in the air in the mornings.

My friend asked me if I could make a 70th birthday card for a family friend...she wanted something quite flowery which isn't really my style but I remembered these papers hidden in my stash and I'd downloaded this digital image a while ago but hadn't used it. My colouring could have been much better but there was alot going on in this image and it took ages to colour by which time I was bored and my mind was elsewhere lol!

Sentiment: 'Happy Birthday' was created on the computer and the numbers were stamped after being coloured with Promarkers.

My lovely teamie Sheena has chosen this weeks challenge...VINTAGE DAHLING...which basically means we want to see your vintage makes and I'm sure there's going to be a lot of lace involved and buttons!

I must admit this challenge theme caused much head scratching for some of the DT members as some of us don't have a scoobie about vintage creations (me included), however I have to say thank you to Sheena for taking me out of my comfort zone and for giving me the chance to try something different...I actually really enjoyed making this card even if I did go a bit OTT with the embellies lol!
