So onto this week challenge:

SONG TITLE/LYRICS

We have some EXCITING NEWS this week, well you know we have been looking for Guest DT's well this week we have our first.....and I'm sure most of you will know this wonderful lady..... who creates the most fabulous cards, with so much attention to detail..

....DRUM ROLL PLEASE....

Give a big welcome to our Guest Designer for November:

DEBBY

Debby has created a fabulous card for her first week, and we all look forward to seeing what she comes up with next to blow you all away...Thanks Debby xx

Well here's my card for this weeks challenge.... I didn't base it on my all time favourite song....as I dont think those cute Hedgies will go with any of Bon Jovi's songs....I did try though...believe me. So I have created a card in mind of one of my favourite Christmas Songs

WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME

Im not entirely happy with my card this week, as Ive tried to create a little scene... I guess I should stick to what I know.....

We have another fabulous prize for you this week from our sponsor

Clair & Sharni

We don't know how long he's going to feel well.....and know that there's worse to come, but I've been trying to spent as much time with him as possible these past weeks...chatting about the old days and chatting out my nan (god rest her soul)

Well Im excited to be back with you all and what a week to come back. We have a real treat this week at Penny Black, the very talented Nat has created a gorgeous sketch for us all

Penny Black 64 ~ Christmas

Morning everyone and a Happy Saturday to you all...so it's time for another Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

Thanks to everyone who joined in on our Stitching challenge last week...gorgeous creations from you all again and some fabulous stitch work too.

So onto this weeks challenge:

Christmas

We know its only August.... but we all need to get started on those Christmas cards... well I do thats for sure. So a nice easy one again for you all this week.

I had to create something quick again this week, as the puppies are being a bit of handful due to the bad weather we've had....so they've not been able to play in the garden much...and their both being naughty in the house....so having to keep my eye on them constantly... the little rascales.

I love love making Christmas cards... I remember when I first starting crafting almost 2 years ago...I started with Christmas cards and it always brings back such happy memories of being so chuffed with myself for a creating my own cards....sounds silly now but it always makes me smile. So now I've started my festive juicies flowing...you may be seeing alot more from now till December...but I think a little Christmas shopping spree is in order....to build up my stash.

I love this adorable kitty and thanks to my good friend Tracy I was able to make my card with him... thanks hun. And ofcourse what better papers than my favourtie festive Basic Grey ~ Wassail and a little raffia.

Oh no I just noticed that whilst rushing to colour this cute kitty I've messed up the bottom balloon...naughty me !!!!

We have another fabulous prize this week from our sponsors:

Happy & Cool

The Design Team have outdone themselves again this week and created some fabulous inspiration for you all.... and very festive too.... thanks girls, you truely are a talented bunch. So if you want to join in the fun then pop over see us.

Have a great Bank Holiday weekend everyone

Happy Crafting
