Hi, can you believe it…….it’s Friday already! Time for Friday Sketchers. This weeks sketch is hosted by the lovely Kristine (Kristine’s Cards and Photos) from Norway…it’s her first sketch for us and what a wonderful start…loved it Kristine, thanks! We have a fabulous prize this week so hop over to Friday Sketchers and have a read all about it. Don’t forget, if you need inspiration, the design team have come up with some wonderful cards again this week.
I used some SU papers and dug out one of my Penny Black Halloween stamps……..don’t you just love this Dracula cat?!!! There wasn’t much colouring to do with this image as it’s mainly his black cloak….really nice for a change! The cut out bats were done with a Sizzix paddle punch and the 3d bats were sent to me by my blogging buddy and friend Claudia. I don’t know why, but I quite like making Halloween cards….I’m really looking forward to getting the new Magnolia Halloween stamps…..what a shame we can only use these stamps for such a short time!
BLOG CANDY…………
Well, my blog candy is way overdue. I don’t have any specific numbers/facts or figures to give to you, that doesn’t really interest me………I just know that I get so many wonderful people visiting my blog each day who leave me such encouraging comments, that I have decided to give away this candy. We all have such busy lives these days………it’s so easy not to bother commenting, but thanks to everyone that finds the time to leave me comments, I do appreciate it…..and so this is my thank you for just that………..GOOD LUCK to everyone that takes part and I will ship the prize worldwide.
The prize includes…
A brand new ( still in sealed packet) Magnolia Tilda in cherry dress stamp, 6×6 Papermania Naughty and Nice paper pack, Papermania sparkly trims, brads, StarDust glitter, paper tags and two sheets of bazzill cardstock.
To enter my blog candy, please leave a link on your blog with details of my blog candy, then leave me a comment here, with a link (hyperlink) to your post about my blog candy so that I can find your post easily. This will remain open until Thursday 25th September 8.00pm GMT. I will announce the winner on my Friday Sketchers post next Friday 26th September.
