Naughty or Nice Challenge 35 - Ready, Steady, Go!

Happy New Year!

Our first Naughty or Nice challenge of 2017 is about all things new: new products, new stash, new year...

Cute graphic, huh?

I broke-out a 'new-to-me' stamp from Hobby Art called Baby Washline to celebrate the best 'new' anythings anyone could ever wish for: a new arrival!

This is beautiful Emily Grace, who put in an appearance a few days ago. My friends, Amy and Eddy, were delighted when this sweet, little bundle turned up in time for Christmas.

My teamies have done a great job with this challenge and I really hope you'll play along with the Troublemakers to get 2017 off to a brilliantly crafty and creative start!

Creative with Stamps Challenge #10 - Photo/Colour Inspiration: Winter Wonderland

Happy New Year to you, the good folk of Card Land!

We have a very special challenge over at Creative with Stamps to get your new creative year off to a great start!

Isn't that just the most gorgeous image, chosen by Lillian and Monika?

I've gone a little cheeky with my card! I paired one of my favourite Art Impressions gals with something that I found with a bit of help from my old friend Google! I hope this card makes you smile.

Once again we are grateful to have a prize on offer from the lovely people at Bugaboo Stamps.

The CWS crew have made some beautiful cards with the challenge inspiration and we can't see what beauties you can create, so please come join us for our first challenge of 2017.

Naughty or Nice Challenge #34 - Reminder

There's late, a little bit late, fashionably late, and very late...

And let's face it, I'm very, very late with this post!

For some unknown reason, I was locked-out from my blog for a few days earlier this week. Everything now seems to be back to normal, so I'm finally able to post my card for the current Naughty or Nice Challenge.

The Troublemakers have created yet more great inspiration cards, so why not drop by and take a look. The current challenge runs until Sunday 25th December.

Creative with Stamps - Challenge #9 - Mid-month Inspiration

It's mid-point in December, so it's time to remind you of our current challenge over at Creative with Stamps and to offer a little more inspiration!

Isn't this little girl by Mo Manning simply adorable? She was so much fun to colour.

I'm loving my teamies creative offerings for this theme and hope that you'll drop by, leave them some love and join our final challenge for this year!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #74 - X is for XXX Xmas

Edna, what are you doing with poor Santa???

It's a triple X-rated challenge over at The Sisterhood this time and, as you can see, Edna's antics are proving to be quite shocking.

My card is a little bit cheeky rather than X-rated but I hope it makes you chuckle!

Check-out my teamies XXX cards if you dare!

November Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Welcome to the grand finale of the 2016 Card Chain Challenge. 

I cannot believe another year has dashed by and that the festive season is upon us once again. I'm convinced someone is stealing time!

Anyhooooo, let's get on with the November Reveal. I sent these happy fish to my long-term blogging buddy, Dawn in New Zealand:

And this cute kitty to the lovely Agata in Switzerland:

My card is still in the mail from my November sender but hopefully isn't too far away!

The Card Chain Challenge traditionally takes a break for December, so I'll take this opportunity to wish Deborah, Gail and all my CCC friends a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2017!
