That's it for this year...

 Good morning bloggers

Not 'that's it' for blogging (well probably not anyway!) but that's it for challenges over at Sweet Stampin' Challenges for this year - this is the last one of 2023.

We're seeing out this year on a Christmas themed challenge and will be back in January 2024 - my goodness where did this year go? I certainly don't know what happened to it!

As you can see it's a totally appropriate challenge for December as we are looking for all your stamped Christmas cards - I can see this being a busy one!

Here's mine:


Supplies used:

Rubber stamp:
Stamping Bella - Penguins bearing gifts
coloured with my Copics

Dies:
Un-branded DL sized stitched rectangle set
My Favorite Things - Inside & Out stitched circles
Picket Fence Studios - 'Merry Christmas' Word Topper Die

Anything else:
Docrafts embossing folder - snowflake
red card
sparkle card.


If you fancy a quick pop over to the blog you will see a wonderful array of Christmas loveliness and we are looking forward to seeing all your entries.

See you soon,
Sarah

A late, late, birthday!

 Good evening blogland,

This post should have been up last week - I thought I'd scheduled it, haven't been back to check until yesterday and realised it never appeared.  I don't know what I've done, but here I am to fix it.

Good morning blogland,

It's Saturday and so it's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge and it's a special one - we are celebrating 14 years, yes count them 14!, of challenges!  I 've been around for a lot of them, although with a very large break in the middle and it seems so weird sometimes that the blog is actually 2 years younger than my TTT.  I've made so many of her younger birthday cards and then used them for challenges!!

Anyways, enough reminiscing from me - on with the challenge.  In honour of our birthday the theme this fortnight is 'Birthdays'.  This is my card, and, quelle surprise, I was running out of time to make something new so this is one from the vaults.  Made but never shared.


Supplies used:

Rubber stamp:
The Greeting Farm: Miss Anya - Ian (I think it's 'My Guy' but I'll check.  It's so old though that I doubt it's available anywhere)

Patterned Paper:


Anything else:
A very old pre-printed foiled sentiment

Right that's me off to work out what I've used on this card. I'll be back!

See you soon,
Sarah

This month the theme is 'Christmas Themed' and we are sponsored by the wonderful All Dressed Up Stamps, with a lovely prize on offer for our lucky winner.

The Design Team were given super cute digis to use and this is the card I made with my choice:

I hope you get a chance to pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at my Teamies work, it's fantastic you know! Then, while you're there, why not pop in an entry yourself, there's a lovely prize to be won.

I'm off now,
Sarah
