Traditional Christmas























Good morning everybody, an exciting day for us at Stamping Sensations as we launch our very first challenge under our new name. 
So today the most important thing I need to do is tell you about the prizes this month and announce our   r  November theme which is..............

******** Traditional Christmas********

We will still be having our popular Top 3 spot, plus a great prize and over the coming months we will be featuring different sponsors. It was our idea to kick that off next month, however one of our new sponsors Indigo Blue really, really wanted to get involved this month so here is what they have offered:-

























Flitter Glue starter kit £17
Their new A5 special edition stamp sheet £15
Treemendous stamp £9


And here's the one we prepared earlier !!


















For my card I used a Personal Impressions stamp which I love, it's so serene and when ever I use it my hubby says we'll live there one day (Awwww!).  I used two different embossing folders, the swiss dot and the mistletoe border at the bottom.  I just wanted to keep this CAS and used minimum colouring too with Promarkers.  But then lashings of glamour dust for the snow.  I heat embossed my sentiment in gold to finish off.

This is for the following challenges:-
1. Dream valley - challenge 44 - Glitter & bling
2. Crafts & me - challenge 108 - Bling it up
3. Diva's by Design - challenge 59 - Festive
4. Crafty Catz - challenge # 157 - Add Texture (my texture is embossing folders)
























Now onto my Penny Black & More @ Allsorts challenge creation, our theme is "Any Die Will Do", so get out all your dies and you can go mad with them. Our sponsors this month are:-
Penny Black, Classy Crafts, Flonz craft, and Sir Stampalot.
Now isn't that a lot of prizes, definitely worth getting your Dies out for isn't it!!!!!!
Now if you would like to be a GDT for us, all you need to do is make a creation to fit the theme following our rules and put GDT after your name on the Linky.














For my card I used my Nesties, three layers, my sentiment is a Flonz Craft stamp and I just edged it with some gold embossing powder.  I used a Penny Black stamp from Holiday Critters transparent set. Added some Pretty Little Ribbon Shop ribbon and a bell.
Are you wanting some inspiration, pop on over to the challenge blog and then you can see all the wonderful creations from the rest of the talented team.

This is for the following challenges:-
1. Creative Inspirations Wednesdays - challenge 187 - Lets celebrate (I chose Christmas)
2. I ♥ Promarkers - challenge 141 - Cute
3. Fab 'N' Funky - challenge #145 - Die cuts/punches
4. Penny Black Saturday - November - Cute christmas
