Challenge Cards and Awards

Morning ladeis I have got up at 6.15 to make this long, long, post. LOL. I hope I don't bore you but I have 5 cards for challenges and 3 awards that I have been given from my fellow friends which I needed to roll the red carpet out for....LOL





1st I have a challenge for Fabs Big Christmas Challenge which was to be square and cute, I used my daisy and dandelion new Xmas Stamps and paper from my stash, hope you like it, I am getting a great collection of xmas cards, which is a good feeling, as about this time off year I start to panic.....





2nd I have a card for the Cupcake challenge #50 which was to use, Green, Pink, Brown, and Add Animals and flowers, I used my Daisy and Dandelion stamps again, I have not used these yet and thought that the bear would cover "animals"




3rd I have an ATC for Tilda and Friends, who this week wanted an ATC in Black, White and Grey, I found this very hard to do this, but used my new Magnolia Rock Star stamp, I hope you like it....




4th and lastly for now is the one for the ABC Challenge, which was the letter "Y" for "yellow" I used this stamp image which was sent to me by a friend over at docrafts, I am sorry but I don't know the name, If anyone knows it I would appreciate knowing. Yellow was a hard colour to do, as I prefer Pinks and Browns, but I quite like the result.




Last but not least I have the card for Promarkers challenge this week was to use Pastel Pink and Cool Aqua, I used a Magnolia stamp that I just got this week from ebay, I think it is an older one, but I love it and may even use if for Xmas, there was also a sketch by Maria to follow, so out came the punches to make a fancy border.....

Now ladies onto the Award Cermony

I was given the Kreative Blogger award from Kerrie at Kezzam, Kerrie is from Australia and I found her blog, whilst I was hopping one day, if you have not already visited her blog, please hop over, she has some lovely work that needs to be seen more widely.

I have tried to condense this so that you are not yawning to much, but these posts need to be done, whilst I have some time to myself, which is this time of the morning when everyone in my house is asleep, apart from my dog and cats......LOL

Well ladies this has taken over and hour to post and now I have to post my cards to the various challenge blogs and make sure I got all your addresses down properly so that many many people can come and visit, you may see a new one, Nikki is my daughter who lives in Dundee, and started blogging at the same time as me, but she has not many followers, I am very proud of her work and would love you to go over and check her out......lots of love this lovely Sunday Morning..I am away to use the rest of my time before the house wakes up (or should I say my grandson, LOL) to catch up with all my friends....Love Avril xxxx
