The Pink Elephant #89

I've been on a roll with the Challenges this week so I thought I'd join in with The Pink Elephant as I haven't been there for a while.

They want to see Blue, Green and Red - the perfect Christmas combo!

I've made my card using papers and images from Pink Petticoat Fairy Lights Collection - I just love these pastel shades and paper pieced trees and think I'll be making more now!

Hope you like it:-

Autumn Birthday

A few weeks ago I made a couple of cards for the Daring Cardmakers 'Office' Dare. You can see the cards I made here. They included a birthday card for October and a Christmas card - each having that month's calendar on it. My blogging buddy Carol asked me where November's card was - well here it is (using the same design). I made this for my Step Dad's birthday which was on the 2nd November.

I've also been sent this award from the lovely Eileen over at Artistic Designs.

I know there's always T&Cs attached but I've done this

a few times and I find it difficult to come up with something witty or interesting to say about myself or anything else really. So I would just like to accept the award and thank Eileen for thinking about me. Hope that's ok!

Well I'm off to watch the X-Factor Results - let's hope sense has prevailed this week and Wagner get's the boot!
