Caught a Bug

Here's a fun get well card I've done for a couple of challenges, I loved the colour combo, really bright & cheery & thought that would work well with the image & would hopefully put a smile back on someone's face who was feeling under the weather.

Here's the details:

Image - freebie from DigiStamp Boutique (coloured with SU Markers & Koh-i-noor pencils)

DSP - Stampin' Up! Tea Party

Cardstock & SU Markers - Pink Passion; Barely Banana

Flowers & brads from stash

I'm entering this into:

I think my mojo, which has been missing in action since Christmas seems to be returning - hooray & about blooming time too!

Charisma #2

It's time for another challenge over at Charisma, and this week the challenge is to use something new, perhaps some new Christmas stash.

We're being sponsored by Bee Crafty this week and I've used one of Bee's digi images on my card and my new element is the papers, which are My Mind's Eye, a pack I've had a while but not opened until now - so I think that counts as new!

Sentiment - Stampin' Up! Trendy Trees

DSPs - My Minds Eye

Cardstock - Stampin' Up! Green Galore; Whisper White

Good morning! Ooh it's a chilly one, hope you're not snowed in wherever you are, we've missed the worst of it in Shropshire and have had some snow but not like the rest of the country, we're still all shivering here though - it's freezing.

Right enough blab and onto the important things, a huge thank you to everyone who took part in our blog hop at Charisma last week, it was a fantastic response and as always we're so grateful for all your support.

The winners of the big prizes have been announed as well as the DT's winners, so hop on over to Charisma for a look, for my candy I used Random Org, which was very easy to use, but I can't work out how to put a picture of the draw on here? So you'll have to trust me!

So - drumroll please - my winner is no. 91 and that's Becky - whoop, whoop - contact me on my email hun (on my left sidebar) with your address so I can get your prize off you to.

So over to you & lets see some more fab work!

My card is all Stampin' Up! made yesterday when Carly came over for a Crafty get-together as she's about to move and all her craft stuff is packed up - poor girl was desperate, I couldn't ignore her anguish! LOL.
