Putting on the Ritz!

Hello there!

Happy Saturday! I hope you've had a fab week!

Sooooooo.....last weekend saw me and my lovely friends make our annual trip to the 1950s....well actually we went to Pontins at Camber Sands where Rhythm Riot was taking place. Three nights of 1950s music, dancing and fabulous clothes! We had a brilliant time - my sister and her hubby showed off their newly learnt jive moves!

With this recent dancing experience in mind.....and the challenge theme of "Let's Dance" this week over at Sweet Stampin I can't blame you for expecting to see a rock n roll or jiving themed card. But no - while looking for inspiration in my paper stash I got side tracked by a stack of 1920s themed paper that I've had for ages and never used.....until now.....

Yes, I left the jiving of the 1950s and zoomed back to the 1920s to do the Charleston! I love this fab digi stamp and have used it on lots of cards before....but for some reason not with this paper! 

For more dancing inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at the gorgeous DT cards. 

I have also managed to miss my blog post for Christmas at Sweet Stampin this month due to technical issues and working away from home too much! So I decided to add the card here.....our challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin this month is.....STARS

For more starry inspiration pop by the Christmas at Sweet Stampin challenge blog!

I thought I would leave you with a little something from my weekend away....

Thanks for popping by today,

Special Christmas

Hello there,

Hope you are well today....I'm back with my second post today - this time with a challenge from My Time to Craft. We're celebrating special Christmases this week...whether that be baby's first Christmas, Christmas in a new home or a first Christmas for a married couple....anything as long as its special (and you let us know what the occasion is with the sentiment)!

Joe's sister is due to have her first baby this Christmas, and Joe is excited about becoming an uncle. I've discovered this wonderful image that I will be using when the baby has joined us....and it is perfect for this challenge too....

 

Isn't it a cutie?

 

My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little bit of sparkle with my Stickles. I then went with a background of blues and baby soft colours. Finally I finished off my card with some holly that I've cut from red and green papers.

 

For more inspiration pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog and see the fab DT cards that have been created this week.

 

If you popped by my Sweet Stampin post earlier you will have seen a couple of photos from my Rhythm Riot weekend last weekend.....but I couldn't resist sharing just one more! We had a fabulous time at Pontins in Camber Sands - full of 1950s clothes, cars, music and dancing.

 

Here's me and my new car (I wish!!)....

 

 

Thanks for popping by today,

its lovely to see you!
