The Sugar Bowl Challenge ..........

Hi everyone, this is my card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge just in the nick of time as the closing day is today at midnight but with 12 sugar nellie stamps as the prize I had to enter this one! I have used my gorgeous nellie frames on my card which were a lovely surprise present from my friend Marianne. You also have to use your favourite colour on your card for the challenge so another pink card from me tonight!

We are off to my sister's again tomorrow to see the new year in. I can't believe that it will 2010!

I hope you all enjoy the night whatever your plans are.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sketch and Stash Challenge 25

Hi everyone well I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We had a wonderful time at my sister's house. I had a few lovely crafty presents including this great stamp which I have used on my card. I also got a pot of prima flowers which I have used on my card and some round nellie frames which I hope to have a go with soon from my friend Marianne.

Its my friend's 30th birthday next week so I thought this image would be perfect. I am entering this card into the Sketch and Stash Challenge who have another wonderful sketch to follow. I really loved using this one.

A present for mum ............

Hi everyone, I hope you are well. I just thought that I would share a present that I have made for my mum with you. I have been learning to use a sewing machine over the last few months and with the help of my father-in-law who used to be a tailor I have made this shopping bag for my mum for Christmas. I would love to know what you think to my bag so please leave a comment if you have time.
