A very good morning to all my lovely blog friends, it looks like those up north are finally sharing their weather as we are expecting some nasty storms and winds! I'm heading out to the shops later and hopefully I won't have to go out of the door again for days!
It's time again for a brand new challenge at
I'd like to thank everyone who joined us for the last challenge, we had some beautiful entries and you can find the winner and top 3 announced on the main challenge blog.
This week our lovely Tracy is hosting and she would like to see
Christmas Animals
and as Christmas falls at the end of this challenge the powers that be have decided that this challenge will run for a month, giving us all a nice little break.
Now I had a major problem with this challenge - I don't own ANY Christmas animal stamps! I didn't know this until I was searching for one, so I had to think outside the box a bit and this
is what I came up with!
Yes? No? What do you think? Well it really made me smile while I was making it! lol The stamp is a Penny Black that I have had for ages and of course never used. The photograph looks a bit royal blue but it is actually navy. I've blinged up a Magnolia snowflake again (don't know what I'll put on my cards after Christmas!) done the same with a chipboard number and the sentiment are a mix of stickers and rub ons. Really simple and I hope you think - fun!
You can find all the details of the challenge plus the prize on offer on the main blog page and while your there check all the fabulous inspiration from my super teamies!
Remember to be in with a chance of winning you must use a stamped image that is at least 6 months old
Thank you for visiting this morning,
I'll be back later with my 2nd DT post of the day
