Dragons At Christmas?






















Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Susan's turn to host and she would like to see 'Christmas'
I used an image from the Sponsor Scrappers Delight called Draco, as it was a big image I didn't use much in the way of embellishments, it took three attempts to get the shading to resemble something I was fairly happy with. so two went in the bin and this one the third one, I coloured at 3:00 am yesterday morning as I couldn't sleep.


Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.

Here is the prize on offer:-

 Scrappers Delights - a prize of some digi images for one lucky winner.

Hello on this Saturday morning, It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Brenda's turn to host and she would like to see 'OrangePurple, Black, all three or any two'
My daughter had requested a notebook for using to write her Christmas shopping lists, Christmas notes etc..........., and as she loves Tim Burton and the film 'A Nightmare Before Christmas'  and the theme of the notebook fitted her favourite colours Purple and Black, this all seemed perfect for this week's theme.
Inside cover - a pocket for receipts etc.........

Sparkly Snowflakes






















Hello blogging friends, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week our lovely Brenda is hosting and she would like to see 'No Design Papers'.............SCREAM ....No Design Papers............ I can't use my beloved papers.............
Anyway here is what I did, I used various snowflake stamps, and decided to use different coloured inks to stamp my background.  Used this really cute LOTV stamp which has lots of sparkly glamour dust on the igloo that isn't showing too well.  And instead of a bow I added a ribbon slider, I don't know what made me keep this card quite simple, and i'm not sure about it, but hey ho it's done now.
