Time for Challenges... again!

I played in some challenges and had an open day on the blog, so that means more eye candy for all of you!

Let's start with the Die-namites January Challenge; a sketch with a dare of pink.

I used the lovely Die-namites, Rosy Rose.  The happy is from Avery Elle-ments, along with MFT's Falling Leaves and Jumbo Fishtail Flags Stax.


I went on to join in over at The Challenge #22 with the sketch portion [kind of tweaked], along with Craft Stamper Magazine; Take a Stamp.

I used a couple of new releases from STAMPlorations, The Bee's Knees, Newlyweds Extra and Houses. Aren't these fun?


Another creative day for me!   See you tomorrow with Just Us Girls Challenge~


Thanks for stopping by~ If you have a question, please leave an email so I can answer you :)
