Yet more Christmas in July...

Another Christmas card - this time one using a Joanna Sheen Victorian lady image from one of her fantastic Christmas CDs. I'm sorry I can't tell you which one as I printed it some time ago and have only just got round to using it on a card.

The embossed diagonal lines on my card were made using my new scor-pal (my birthday present from Shelley). Love this gadget and the mat that fits inside is making my measuring so much more accurate. It's just great.

My card is for the challenge at the Cuttlebug Spot where like many other challenges they are celebrating Christmas in July.

Sorry about the bad photo - mirri card is dreadful to capture on camera - the spooky eye and streak of grey could be me. Don't get too scared!

Pink Elephant Day...

This week we have another amazing sketch by the incredibly talented Robin. Her sketches amaze me, not only by being brilliant, but also by being extra easy to do.

It's also a really exciting week at the Pink Elephant because we are being sponsored by ....

Take a look at my cards...

Can you guess?

Yes it's Joanna Sheen!!!

Each of the DT were given stamps to play with - wowee - it was just like Christmas! I received Doctor Lofty - how cute is he? Check out his prescription and the 'Get Well Soon' tablet too - just so cute and all included in the Lofty and co rubber stamp set. I don't think I've ever seen such a fun 'Get Well' set ever - hate to say this, but I can't wait for someone to be poorly so that I can send a card. No, no I don't really mean that!

I also had Messy Rabbit Party Girl to play with - isn't she gorgeous. Couldn't resist adding gems to her flowers - well she is a party girl.


As you can see there are a couple of flowers included in this set too and a 'party' sentiment so it really is a great buy. However, if you are like me and suffering from a lack of funds pop over to the Pink Elephant - take a look at the sketch and have a play. You never know you may be lucky enough to win some Joanna Sheen goodies. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

A new challenge blog...

There's a new Challenge blog starting on the 15th August. It's called 'Bizzy Becs Creatalicious Challenges' and looks like it's going to be great fun. The Challenges will be monthly ones and the team are looking for two more DT members.

Check out the link to find out more about both their opening blog candy and the DT.
