Hi and a warm welcome to you all and especially my new follower 'thankyou for choosing to follow my blog'. Today I've got an easel card i keep meaning to make for a while now...not sure what these type are called...and I'm ashamed to say the digi image was d/loaded recently and i forgot to put the name of the blog and now when i returned to my fave blogs can't find it :( would love to credit the person so if anyone does know I'll amend and put the details in. The papers used are from the genreous Donna (bearly mine) and so perfect for my little offering today, the left panel is a digi sentiment from one of my fave blogs which is sadly no more The Creative Cottage, and I stamped with a clear ink pad with mini Studio G stamps and afterwards dusted off with some orange chalks, bright orange ribbon from the market some years ago stapled on, used my mini star punch, embossing folder for web design dusted off with glamour dust, image coloured with Promarkers.

Together they make a neat gift and i shall be giving it to a little girl this weekend. The challenges are several...Simon says 2nd entry 'punches & dies', Anything challenge is 'anything goes at anything', as are Sweet stampin, Paper Shelter and Party Time Tuesdays, Paper Play Time 'halloween' as are Reasonable Ribbon 'autumn' and Crazy 4, Crazy '3 colours...mine are black, orange and purple', Incy Wincy 'fancy folds', OSAAT 'favourites...embossing folders', Bearly Mine 3 x dp's...2 you can see the other one is the pumpkin on the stopper stamped onto orange dotty paper, and lots of easel card challenges Come and Get it, One Stop Craft and Creative card Crew. That's all for now, weather seems to be warming into a mini heatwave..feels like summer again...for a few days.

Edited to add: Found the image today 15/10/11...it's from Suze at Stamp In Style called 'cat & mouse halloween pals'.
