Hi everyone. Did you have a good Halloween? We didn't have one child come to our door :( so Kieran and his work colleagues will have to force themselves to eat the goodies instead :D.
There's a new challenge starting at Crafting by Designs with the theme of Fall Colors. My card is using the totally gorgeous digi stamp Emmi Lou Boo's Autumn Leaves from Lacy Sunshine Stamps. She was an absolute pleasure to colour. I hope you like my card. (sorry, a few more photos than normal)

My craft club closed down on Thursday due to dwindling numbers so I joined another on a Monday. Everyone was very welcoming but it's not really a 'craft club' as apart for me and another lady everyone was painting. Oh well at least I've a monopoly if anyone wants to buy my cards, lol!
Oh I nearly forgot to mention that my 'Breena And Bear' card was chosen as Top Three Winner in the SheepSki Designs Facebook challenge, Yay!! I even got a prize of a digi stamp which was a lovely bonus. I have to admit that I do like getting little badges for my blog as I went a very long time until I got my first one :).
Hey ho, that's it from me today apart from to remind you about the challenge at Crafting by Designs after my long post. It's a great prize so definitely worth entering and you might get your card chosen to spotlight, and get a badge too :D!
Happy Crafting Everyone,

Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling well, you are lucky to find any crafty clubs near you, the only craft clubs in my area are knitting, embroidery etc. Your card is amazing, I love how you have coloured the little lass, and all the lovely layers both inside and outside the card...
Have a fabulous week... Megan

ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing your card's photos, Debra! How many wonderful details to look at!!! This cutie has been coloured so well from you, I observed her hairs (I already must learn to colour hairs!!)and her jacket, such a FABULOUS 3D look!! The sparkling on the dress adds to it a so lovely detail!! Your card it's really a beauty with this colours combo! The shabby heart and the vintage gorgous flowers are just perfect with the beautiful paper and the lace and LOVE the ivy all around!! And what a brilliant sentiment with this gorgous circle! Your card is sweet but also a bit vintage and not too much cute, I have to learn this way... :D
ReplyDeleteHugs my friend, have a lovely day!
P.S. I think that your hubby and his colleagues have enjoyed all those goodies... :D :D
