Sweet Home Alabama

I'm two days late with this offering to let you know that we have a Christmas in August theme over at Sweet Stampin' this week.  I've had this stamp for over a year but felt a little intimidated to ink & colour him.  But he was too fab to resist any longer & I got my watercolours out & coloured with those for a change.  I like the end result even though he may be too CAS for some. 

I organised a baby shower over the weekend, apparently these are now quite a big thing in the U.K.  Who knew?!  It was hard work but fun, lots of baby themed games & quizzes created lots of fun & giggles! 

I'd love to play with some other fabby challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge - P for Plain

Allsorts - From boys to men

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas - Anything Christmas (optional girl)

Thanks for stopping by,

Lost in the Millions

It's the second Wednesday of the month & that means another CaSS project.  It's been a pleasure over the last couple of weeks to be thinking about Christmas, cold weather & snow.  Ooh I have wished to be able to make snow angels just to cool down!  I confess, Summer is not my favourite season.

I had postage costs in mind making this card.  Christmas is expensive enough so flat-ish cards are a necessity.  I'd dithered about glittering the balls & still might tbh.

I'd also like to play in some other fab challenges:

12 months of Christmas - Anything Christmas, optional greenery
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas - Anything Goes, optional embossing

Sick & tired of your attitude

Over at Sweet Stampin' this week, there's a theme of TRAVEL for you to play with.  I've gone for a rather sedate but very necessary form of travel and one that I am well used to seeing around.  We'd love to see your travel themed cards too, so get crafting & come play along with us!

I'm also playing along with some other fabulous challenges:

Crafty Calendar - Dots and/or Stripes
The Male Room - Birthday
