New year, new start - Sweet Stampin'

Hello all,

Time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin', and this week our theme is new year/new start.

I dug up a really fab TPS image for my card, as I thought they looked pretty glamorous, and could definitely be attending a new year's party...

It's hard to tell from the picture, but I added some lovely sparkle to the black dress. I rather think I'd like one just like it one day. And probably an excuse to wear it would be good too, lol!

Well, it's over to you guys. Come and share your new start cards with us! This will be a two week challenge, so in the meantime, whatever you do or don't celebrate over the next few weeks, I hope you have a lovely time surrounded by loved ones.

Have a fantabulous festive season!

Christmas Challenge - The Paper Shelter

Morning all!

It's time for our Christmas anything goes challenge over at The Paper Shelter! This will be a 3 week challenge, instead of the usual one week, so you'll have lots of time to play with us!

For my card, I chose the awesome Santa's family selfie digi. It's such a fun image, and really made me chuckle.

Paper, ribbon, gems and a Tim Holtz sentiment finish it off :)

So now it's your turn! Come and play with us over at The Paper Shelter, and you could win an amazing $30 gift voucher if you use an image from The Paper Shelter. And if you enter with a different brand image, you can still win three TPS digis of your choice (which you can then use to enter the next challenge, and so be eligible for the $30 voucher!).

Hope you have a fantabulous day!

Christmas Challenge - Sweet Stampin'

Morning all,

Time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' this week, and as we're now in December, this will be a two week challenge! Our theme is a very useful Christmas, so there should be plenty of last minute cards that will fit beautifully, so why not come and play along?

My card features, unsurprisingly, a TPS image.

Doesn't she look glamorous? And I want a coat like that!

Well, it's over to you guys. Looking forward to seeing your makes!

Have a fantabulous weekend!
