NEW Pollycraft Monday Challenge Blog has just been launched today, click on the link to the right hand side, take a look then get busy with your entry.

Pollycraft designs are available to download instantly and a new range of stamps has just been launched too.

A new challenge will be posted fortnightly.

I have been eagerly waiting for this blog to launch, I just love Paula's designs.

The First challenge is to create a Christmas card using at least one Pollycraft design - this can be decoupage, a stamped image, backing paper... as long as there is a Pollycraft design somewhere on your project.

Just one little twist - no RED can be used on your entry....

Here is my entry - I have used the 4 Paws Bessie Merry Christmas decoupage download,

Happy Holly-Day 'Christmas Wishes' papers.

Decorated with Diamond Stickles, embossed paper using my Cuttlebug,

flowers, snowflakes and gems.

Keeping Busy.....Pink Petticoat Doodle Bags

Sadly my Grandad passed away yesterday and the type of person I am makes me want to bury my head and keep my brain occupied.

I headed to our spare room where I do my crafting and did just that.

I bought the Doodle Bags Download from Pink Petticoat sometime ago but have never got round to using it.

The download includes loads of designs and colours for the boxes, bags,

sentiment cards and tags.

Here are some pics of what I made.

Decorated with liquid pearls and diamond stickles.

A different angle on a christmas card.

Look What I Got.....PIF (Pass It Forward...)

While doing a bit of blog hopping I came across Marcea's Crafting Corner and Marcea was offering some goodies for the 1st 3 people who left a comment on her PIF post.

I was lucky enough to be one of them and look at the gorgeous goodies Marcea sent me - stamped images, leaves, ribbon, flowers all contained in a really sweet wallet.

Basically once you have received your PIF you post it on your blog and then send out some goodies to the 1st 3 people that comment.

So to be in with a chance of getting some goodies from me please leave me a comment and I will get back to the 1st 3 for postal address.

Remember tho when you receive your goodies from me you must post on your blog and then offer some goodies to the 1st 3 people who leave you a comment.
