It's My Birthday, It's My Birthday!!!!!!!!

Whoop, whoop - can you tell I'm excited?!? And I'm not going to tell you how old I am!! And so - apologies for my post being a wee bit late but as it's my birthday, I think you can cut me a bit of slack lol!! And so, onto my post - there's a new challenge starting today over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp and this week, it's a fab sketch from Barbara. Here's my card:

Ingredients:

Image - Hanglar watercoloured with Distress Inks, Papers - Magnolia, Red card - Papermania, Flowers (cherry and sweetheart blossoms), Lace and Heart Pin - All Wild Orchid Crafts, Sentiment - Craftwork Cards, Die - Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations and Cuttlebug, Other - Beaded chain from stash.

Yep, I finally inked up one of my many Hanglar stamps - and used it on a card!! I spent some time watercolouring lots of images with DIs over the last few days, so expect to see them on my cards over the coming weeks.

I'm also entering my card into the following challenges:

• CES Challenges - Challenge #65 A Traditional Christmas.
• Crafty Hazelnuts - Challenge 50 Traditional Christmas.
• One Stop Craft Challenges - Week #161 Traditional Christmas Colours.
• Cardmakin' Mamas - Challenge #35 Christmas.
• Stampin' for the Weekend - Challenge #22 Christmas.
• Colour Create - Challenge 85 Red, White and Green.
• Crafty Ribbons - Challenge 8 Traditional Colours for Christmas.

 And I think that's about it! I don't know if you saw the post from me the other day about this darned computer and all the problems I've had with it. It's really not been right for months now and it's really been getting on my nerves - to the point that I don't even want to use it at times - well, by the end of the week my problems should be solved cos I'll be taking delivery of a new 'puter!!!!! So - expect to see me back to my blogging and commenting best very soon - and I hope I can win back all of the crafty friends that I seem to have lost!! Bye for now....................xx
