Wow I've had a busy week - my little girl was 4 at the weekend and we had a party for her which was great fun as we arranged for someone to bring "a few animals round". A few animals ended up being a full Zoo - there were 3 skunks, a chinchilla, sugar gliders, a chameleon, a dragon-type thing, a super cute gecko, a tarantula (yuk!), stick insects, millipedes, hedgehogs and a few others!! Crazy but great fun!!
Today a new challenged launches over at Stampin for the Weekend - Starting Christmas Early. I'm so glad of this challenge as I'm starting to panic about how many cards I need for Christmas - especially as this card is only number 6! I've got such a long way to go.
We have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge:
with a $25 voucher to spend!
Here's my card:
I love Christmas cards in non-traditional colours! The papers are First Edition - Christmas Joy - I got them in the sales last year half price - I love a crafty bargain!
So why not pop over and take a look at what the rest of my teamies have done, and then join in - it'll be one less to make in the December madness!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
St Lukes Hospice - Couples
Little Claire's - Best Friends
Aud's Sentiments - Christmas is Coming
For Fun - Inspired by a Song (Frosty the Snowman - I sing this, Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer and Jingle Bells all year round as my children love them)
Sketch Saturday - Sketch!
Catch the Bug - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Nut Crafters - Christmas is Coming
Thanks for looking - have a great weekend!
