Pollycraft Monday Challenge #72 - Chipboard...

Good Morning

Bbbbbrrrrr it's cold....we've had more snow through the night so it's another day indoors for me.  I refuse to move the car, it's rear wheel drive and totally useless in the snow. 

I had planned to take my mum out...41 years ago today my parents married and so wish Dad's here to celebrate.  It was snowing all those years ago too...

I've made my mum a card, a little bit of a different style for me.  I've used Pink Paislee Sweetness papers, various flowers, diamante pins, pearls, Cat's Life Press stamp...all of which I stock in my store.

I stamped the butterflies, added crackle glaze and then stickles.

I followed the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday...

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

Onto the Pollcraft challenge and the theme this week was chosen by Sheena which is:-

''Chipboard''

The prize for one lucky winner is a £10 voucher to spend at the fabulous Creative Cottage.

For my card I have used one the gorgeous Sonny images...My Buddy. 

The Sonny range is now available to purchase in the NEW Pollycraft Shop as clear stamps - you can see them HERE.

My chipboard elements are the butterflies and flower which I stamped with the 'Armour' Cat's Life Press stamp...in my store HERE.

The papers are again Pink Paislee ''Sweetness'', various flowers, organza ribbon...again all available in my store.

I am after you parting with a little cash but all in an excellent cause...for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

How do you fancy a $20 voucher to spend in Mo's Digital Pencil Store??!!

Mo has so very kindly donated the voucher to help me raise more funds....thank you Mo:-)

Is it worth a £1 donation to the YAA??!!

Well if you think it is then here are the rules - we gotta have rules as Al Murray Says!!

1 - Make your £1 donation for each entry directly through my Just Giving Page (See badge on my sidebar) or by Paypal direct to myself at woodemma9@aol.com

2 - Post about my candy on your sidebar and link to my blog

3 - Add your name to Inlinkz with a link to your blog

***Would you like an extra entry/entries??!!***

Post a new card/creation on your blog using any of the Ronnie images....add your name again.

Please Note - There is no limit to the number of times you can enter but due to this all being for charity I would ask that you do at least make a £1 donation and not just enter on any cards you make.

The draw will finish at 12 noon on the 15th December.

I hope all that makes sense.
