Cupcake 232...Sparkle

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you've all had a fab weekend, it was very spring like here yesterday and I hope it lasts for a bit as I'm fed up with the cold, wet weather now. I'm heading off to Leicester today with work and we're staying at a place called Stapleford Park overnight...it's very posh so I'd better be on my best behaviour!

Anyhoo, enough of my waffling. I'm here to tell you about the new challenge over at Cupcake today. It's been chosen by my lovely teamie Sari and she wants to see lots of SPARKLE on your projects this week

We are sponsored by

Funky Camper Van

Bluergh....it's Monday and the half term holidays are over and the schools are back, which in short means there will be humongous traffic jams whilst driving into work! It's still really cold here and it was trying to snow yesterday afternoon, just as well I didn't have any plans to go anywhere and stayed indoors in the warm.

I won some digi images recently for a challenge I entered over at Flat Friends...Emma has created some of the sweetest images that are right up my street and I couldn't wait to use this fab little camper van which has been coloured with Promarkers.

I'm entering my card into the following challenge...

Flat Friends #5 To Die For (ends 28/2/13)
Crafty Catz...Dies and Punches (ends 28/2/13)

Come & Meet Flat Friends

Wednesday already? Bit odd to think that 2 weeks ago today we were tucking into cold turkey with all the buffet trimmings and looking forward to playing family games. Has someone got a time machine they can lend me so I can rewind? I'm really not keen on this going to work every day malarkey!

I made this card on Sunday after finding a new digi company called Flat Friends. They're sponsoring Cupcake this week so I hopped on over to check them out and liked what I saw...a lot. This cutie is a freeie but I've already got me a wish list of scrummy images on sale in their shop so I think you can look forward to seeing a few of them on my cards in the coming weeks.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges...

Sketch Saturday (#240) Sketch (ends 10/1/13)

Flat Friends (#4) Put a Bling on it (ends 31/01/13) Woohoo I won!
