Pollycraft Monday Challenge #12 - Downloadables

Good Morning, Hope everybody is well....

Another 2 weeks have passed and its time for a new Pollycraft Challenge...

where does the time go??!!

Huge thanks to all who entered our last challenge....we all love visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.

***************************

The challenge has been set by lovely Emma and the theme is 'Downloadables'.

Emma thought that with the gorgeous stamps that Paula has launched all the downloads that are available from Pollycraft have been forgotten!!!

So I looked through my downloads and found this cute little chappy named 'Games Junkie'...I just think he is perfect for all those boys cards with his games console pad.

Pop over and have a browse through all the downloads available....click here

What A Hectic & Expensive Weekend.....

I have had such a fantastic but very expensive and hectic weekend!!

I went to the Harrogate show on Saturday with my crafting buddy Joanne and met up with some other blogging buddies which it was so lovely to meet.

We have also now got the keys to the shop so have been out today buying all sorts of supplies so we are ready for opening as usual on Tuesday.

Here are some pics of the goodies I bought at Harrogate...I was very naughty!!!

I managed to squeeze another challenge card in last night, I certainly made the most of my day.

It covers 2 challenges :-

1 - Friday Sketchers (Sketch below)

2 - Secret Crafter (Favourite colour)....I love pink and well black too.

I have used the doodlebug transfers I won from Steph on the ribbon for the sentiment...I never even thought of adding them to ribbon. Duh!!!

Sometimes it helps to read instructions and advice on packaging!!!
