Sarah Hurley Challenge 6- Monochrome

Yikes forgot I hadn't scheduled this weeks post, slap on the wrists for me. It's a bit mad in the broons hoose this week so a short and sweet post today.

here's my card for this weeks monochrome challenge

This was so much fun to do, it's a luminaria and I found the tutorial over at splitcoasters.





Top tip do not use an ordinary tealight use a flameless one. Hubby was on standby with a fire extinguisher as I didn't have one but wanted one for photos.

pop over to here to see more details of Donnas challenge this week

and remember

you still have til sunday to enter Lisa's challenge anything but a card.

hope you are all well, trying to leave comments when I can and apologise if I have missed you.

lots of hugs Clare x

SARAH HURLEY CHALLENGES-NO 5- ANYTHING BUT A CARD

This week Lisa has set the theme for challenge 5 and has chosen anything but a card. I have made a drawer card box to store my christmas cards which I haven't started yet yikes!!! I do recall saying I was going to be super organised this year with my Christmas cards but that went by the way side. But who knows if I manage to make one before November I will be more organised than last year!!

Well less talking and more sharing!!



I used Sarah's latest cd Christmas cheer and this is my favourite collection. This ones called retro but you can also choose from vintage and traditional.

I do apologise for the picture but hoping to update later if the rain stays off.
