Dottie's World and Sketch Saturday

Afternoon everyone. What a lovely day it is today, glorious sunshine and quite warm too! The children both returned to school today after being unwell since Thursday! I'm now relishing a bit of peace and tranquility, catching up on some crafting! I've another two challenge card, this one's for

Sketch Saturday - Sketch

and

Dottie's World

The challenge over on Dottie's World this week, was set by Nicole and she wants to see the colours Red, White and Black. Of course, a Charmed download must be included! For this I've used the scruffy pup from the Charming Xmas download collection. Isn't he cute! Actually,my golden retriever Murphy, was the inspiration here, as he nicked Ethan's sandwich bag off the worktop this morning, there's NOOO way I could leave meat unattended when he's around!!

I've used my new punch I only bought yesterday and some bling I've been dying to use! Underneath the silver brad is a black punched snowflake. The pawprint is a stamp made by a local crafter I've known quite a few years and she's now set up in business with her own rubber stamp designs, - certainly one to keep an eye on!!!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 73 - "White on White"

Hiya everyone, what a lovely sunny day it here! I'm suffering today with a sore back having slipped on the stairs last night!! The purse will be suffering a bit today too as the motor is in the garage - a few banging and rattling noises and a defunct heater! Today, the challenge entry is for Penny Black Saturday. I really enjoyed this though didn't think I would, the challenge being that all papers and embellies be white! I sooo need all the embossing kits for this one (and a new die cut machine please Santa LOL!). The punched snowflakes have been covered with glamour dust and the snow on the umbrella is white flower soft.
