Windswept

Morning everyone, my title today pretty much sums up my trip to school this morning.

It's also the name of the stamp I used for my abc challenge, please check out my post below.

Today I share with you my dt card for our new Charisma Challenge

Black + White + 1

My inspiration came from the Charisma blog banner colours, black + white +pink, very appropriate don't you think hee hee

I also got the chance to ink up my new Tilda stamp. I was drawn to her because I love a good hug whether I am the giver or the receiver and they are perfect when words just fail us.

I would so love it if you could join us this week.
Pop over here to check out the challenge rules and for more inspiration from the dt team. It's wonderful to see how different crafters have different styles.

here's my little offering today




papers/gemstones- Papermania

I can't believe it's been a week since my last post!! I've been busy with card orders and DT samples for Sarah Hurley which hopefully I will be able to show you over the next few days. Lewis is also very poorly at the mo as he has caught a tummy bug fingers crossed we don't all get it!!

I had a fab monday night as I got the chance to meet up with my fabulous friend Susie. It was a great opportunity to have a wee crafty night which I have to say ended up in tears but they were the funny ones and not the sad kind.

A couple of months back I bought these two Tildas and they just so happen to be my very first ones. There are so many I would love but need to keep those reins in tow as we could be moving house so eeeeeeeeeekkk!! My mum had asked if I would make a card for my sil birthday so lets hope she likes it!!

challenges I have entered are....

Well off to do some DT work and hope to catch up with you all soon!!
