Good Afternoon Everyone.  Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.  Did any of you manage to sleep in with the extra hour.  My body clock didn't know the clocks had gone back so I was wide awake at 4.30 am.  Hopefully it will sort itself out or I'll be going to bed at 9 tonight lol.

Here's this week's Christmas card:

Bonfire Party!!

Good Morning. My project today is my DT project for Nutcrafters Challenge 4.  The challenge is to make a card or project with a Bonfire Theme.  As usual Katie and Colette have provided you with a freebie digi image so there is no excuse not to join in but if you do have any Nutcrafters images you can use any of them too.  There is a fab prize as usual.  A £10 voucher to spend in the shop.

My project is this goody bag for the little boy next door.  For the last 2 years we have been invited to their Bonfire Party, probably because they got fed up of seeing us watching the fireworks from Emily's bedroom window lol.  Hopefully we will get an invite this year too.

We all hope you are able to join us in our challenge this week. Simply leave your details in the Inlinkz before 5pm Tuesday 8th November.

I have coloured the image with Promarkers and am entering it into;

Passion for Promarkers - For a Child

All I Want For Christmas

Good Morning Everyone, sorry I've not been around much lately.  I've just been mega busy at work and home.  I've got the day off today and don't have much planned.  I am hoping to try and sort out Emily's bedroom.  I thought I would do it as soon as she went to Uni but 5 weeks later I don't think I have set foot in there more than twice lol.

My card today is another Christmas card.  I have been doing one a week since January with the Bah Humbug Challenge Blog but I think I need to up it now to 2 a week or I won't have enough.

I have used this cute image from Pollycrafts - Maurice with Christmas Socks.  Isn't he a darling.  I've coloured with Promarkers and Prismas.

I am entering it into the following challenges:

Bah Humbug - With Men in Mind

A Gem of a Challenge - The Sketch
One Stop Crafts - No Designer Paper

I Love Promarkers - Aint it Cute

Top Tip Tuesday - Layer it up

Precious

Good Afternoon everyone, it's been lovely here today, sun shining and lovely blue skies but blooming freezing.  Did a load of the dreaded H*******k this morning and then had a crafty session.  Then went into Stockport with my mum to get my new Promarkers.  They were £1.49 each at Hobbycraft but I used the online voucher which gave you £5 off a £25 spend.  I bought 17 which came to £20.33 so each pen only cost me £1.19 each.  What a bargain.  I also bought a coat from H&M and some bits for the house from Dunelm Mill so had quite a nice afternoon.

Here's my card.

Best Seat in the House

Good Afternoon everyone, a bit late this week with my Christmas Card.  As the weather has been so nice, we've been clearing the garden ready for Winter.  We went to Bridgemere Garden Centre yesterday and got some bulbs so have been planting them out.  Should have a nice selection in the Spring if they all come up.  Oh since when has Bridgemere had a Hobbycraft?  I had no idea.  I printed off a voucher yesterday morning 'cos I am going to Stockport on Wednesday and thought I would pick up some Promarkers while they are on offer at the Hobbycraft there.  So had a wander around to see what was in stock but I'll get what I want from Stockport with my money off voucher.  I don't usually shop at Hobbycraft because it is used to be so dear but I was pleasantly surprised yesterday, most of the prices seem on a par with other shops.

Anyway stop the waffle.  Here's my weekly Christmas card.

Image - La Pashe - Best Seat in the House (Christmas)

Papers - First Edition, Christmas Joy and My Minds Eye

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Sketch Saturday - Sketch

Enjoy what's left of the weekend.  Take Care.

Edit:  Ignore the bits of wet glue on the kraft card,  I was too eager to take a photo before the light went.  They have dried now and the glue doesn't show.
