Papertake Weekly and Dream Valley # 22

Another quick post.  Could do with a couple more weeks to get organised for Christmas.  Still got some cards to make and a thank you card, as well as my gift tags, sweetie bags and snowman soup. Not to mention the fact that I still have shopping to do.  Definitely not organised this year.  Not get crafting much tonight as it is Hollie's school carol service, so will pop by later to catch up on your blogs to see what I have been missing these last few days.

I am entering my card into two challenges :-

Papertake Weekly - I'm Dreaming Of A (fave colour) Christmas - traditional red and green - hope this ok for the challenge

Although I was running out of the paper I used, so the insides of the two cards are different.

Thanks for popping by, your comments are very much appreciated.

Papertake Weekly, Samuel Taylors, Colour Create # 85, Moving Along With The Times

Just a quick post from me tonight.  Been really busy helping hubby in shop and have had Sophie off school last week for revision for her mock GCSE exams this week.  She only has two mornings and one half day to go in this week and then that is her until January. 

I am entering my card into four challenges:-

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (sketch is from last weeks challenge but never got the card finished until yesterday)
Samuel Taylors - Anything Goes
Colour Create # 85 - Red, White and Green
Moving Along With The Times # 127 - Last Minute Christmas

Only noticed forgot to colour in one of the penguins flippers.  Before I could photograph it again after colouring it, Hollie had wrote and sealed it for her teacher.

Sugar Bowl # 72 and Simon Says Stamp

Didn't get the inside finished so will upload it later.  Didn't want to miss the deadline for The Sugar Bowl.

Have ran out of the paper that I stamp my images onto and I am using a new pad that I got in Eason's, not to bad but seems to curl/bend if you use a lot of stickles.  The previous pad I used was from The Paper Mill and it was really good and cheaper. Any suggestions on paper for using with Distress Inks.

Got a lovely surprise on Monday when I went to comment on Debby's card and noticed I had won her candy.  It arrived this morning and is really gorgeous and look forward to using the stamps, ribbon and pearls.  Thanks again Debby.

Thanks for popping by and I will be round to visit your blogs later tonight after Girls Brigade.
