Hello everyone.
Is it cold your way ? We had frost the last two nights and it suddenly feels like winters close. I guess as November is only ten days away it is almost winter, I just like to hand on to the idea that we might still get some decent Autumnal days and all those gorgeous colours that seems to be evading us around here.
A really quick couple of shares. The first card above following a really great sketch, one I will definitely use again........in fact I made it up in two colourways, but can't share the other for a bit yet. The DP is Cosmo Cricket, nicely roughed up round the edges and a main image using Penny Black 3768K Christmas Montage, inked with TH inks and Marvy pens and spritzed with water before stamping and gems added to embellish. This card is for the following challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - Sketch (loved it)
Charisma Cards - Vintage
Delightful Challenges - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Crafty Creations - Red, brown and green (the DP is brown, although it does not show too well in the picture)
Scrapbook Sisters - Pets galore
For Fun - Red, brown and cream
Pear Tree Designs - Free for all
Tuesday Throwndown - Anything goes

It certainly has turned chilly hasn't it. The woolly jumpers are well and truly out of the wardrobe now. Still I like the blue skies that have come with it so not too many grumbles yet!!
These two cards are both gorgeous and that white Dahlia is amazing. What a size. I love them but always struggle to get lovely flowers. They seeem to get eaten!!

2 super christmas cards, I wouldn't say easy just very lovely, love the design of the first and the animal one very cute and fun. janex
Beautiful card Brenda!
I noticed you're a new Mac girl from your last post.
I don't know why you are having such trouble and it is such a shame as they are brilliant computers. I got mine (my first mac) 2 weeks ago.
My microsoft died and I went out to PC World and got an imac. Within an hour of buying it I was online again, that includes driving home from the shop time.
It took me literally 5 minutes to get it out of the box plug in the power cable, ethernet cable and turned it on. Registered myself and went straight on the internet. What is John Lewis doing?? I'm sorry you are having such woes :-(

I really love both your cards! The doggie one is perfect for the challenge over at For Fun. Thanks so much for joining us this week!
Brenda these are GORGEOUS but that Penny Black one is awesome! I'd love to see how you did the inking for that gorgeous stamp!
We have an 'Anything Goes' challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday at the moment and these would be fab to see - and there's 4 prizes on offer ;)
Beautiful cards, I feel all Christmasy now - must get mine started!
