ANYTHING BUT A SQUARE!!

Evening All

Hope you are all okay :o)

Thought I'd share with you one of the cards I'm using on  my workshop tomorrow.  As you may have all gathered I love a square card!!! Anything else just won't do ... so when I was coerced into doing a workshop called "Anything But A Square" I sort of freaked!! But .. they didn't turn out too badly - still love my squares though!

This is one of the images off of Penny Black clear stamp set "Mimi's Christmas", I've coloured her with pencils this time for a change, the sentiment is from a new clear stamp set by Trimcraft, the edging punch is by Martha Stewart - Snowfall :o)

Hope you like it :o) thanks for stopping by :o)

CHRISTMAS WITH A BIT OF HUMOUR!

Good Morning All!!

Off to do a workshop this morning but before I go I have to let you know that it's challenge time again at DCD Christmas Club!! This week we want to see some humour on your card - what makes you laugh?? Pop over and have a look at the DT Cards they are just fab!! But beware ... you may not be able to stop laughing hehehehe :o)

Have to say as well that our beloved leader Susie has no internet at the moment she is frantically trying to sort it out so be patient as the post and winner may not be ready just yet - but keep checking back - it gives you time to think about what you are going to do.

Susie is also our sponsor this week - check out her fab die cuts at Die Cut Dreams

Here's my card :o)

I've used some digi images from Charmed Cards and Crafts - pop over a have a look they have a gorgeous range of all different images

I've used three different one from the same set and overlapped them all before I printed them out, coloured them with promarkers, the DP is from a Kars christmas stack - I thought it looked a bit like wallpaper lol!

I am entering this into

Charmed Cards Blogspot - this is actually blog candy

there is a chance to win 72 COPICS!!!!

If you use a charmed cards and craft image you get entered twice - so here's goes and here's hoping!!
