It had to be Liverpool FC & Saturday candy

OK, call me sad but this is what came to mind when Wendy chose her theme of 'Any Sport' for this weeks theme at Allsorts challenge.

Not having anything to fit the theme in stamps other than a little football, I took an image from a magazine of Stevie and Luis which seemed the obvious choice as the focal element of my card. I make no secret of the fact that I'm a strong Liverpool supporter who dons her club shirt and hat when their matches are on TV and I confess to being more than a little vocal when I am watching...............to such a degree that one of our sons who is also a supporter prefers to watch in a different room to me. 

So a pretty easy to make card using the football image on the backgound, some strips of red and black DP, a computer generated club anthem and club logo cut from a merchandise label.

Also a heads up that we will be having a bit of a celebration in a couple of weeks time as it's our Fourth Brithday...............how that time has flown by. Allsorts was my very first DT and I have been there from the start and now the only remaining member of the original team, but we have a super bunch of girls on the team and we will all be getting together on 25th May for some fun and a Birthday blog hop. Please do grab the logo here and help us spread the word.

And of course I need to announce the winner of last weeks candy who is Ellie in USA, well done please mail me with your postal addy.

And this week I have a Molly Blooms Merry Go Round stamp for you, as usual a winner will be selected at random from all comments left this week, if you visit more than once then all comments will go into the draw. All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is:

1) You are a follower 
2) Pop the Saturday Candy logo from my sidebar on your own blog

I hope you all have fun with this weeks theme and look forward to visiting your entries.

Flutterbys and footie

Quick seems to be the order of the day this week, but Sarah at Stamp Addicts just said it's OK to share some of the work I've done for next week's programme............... Create and Craft 11am through 1pm Monday 12th November.

I'm off to the NEC tomorrow, wasn't planned but hubby asked if I would like him to drive me there so you can guess I jumped at the opportunity. So my scooter is on charge to make sure I've got plenty of 'wheelpower' because although I can walk a while, no way will I get through the morning let alone a whole day without it and a girl has to make the most of things.

Both my cards in this post feature the butterfly set which includes a large and small one, the large one really is quite big but it makes a card on its own and it shrinks down fabulously. And I learned something new as one does..............and that is Pan Pastels work beautifully on shrink plastic and I made several which I will share another day.

The card at the top features lots of inky indulgence using picked raspberry and mowed lawn from the limited-edition summer distress inks and various Frantage colours embossed round the edge. The second card is quite simple with a background resist stamped using the small butterfly and a frame made with some DP's from stash.

Have a good Thursday evening everyone, I plan making a quick carbonara for dinner because footy is an early kick-off tonight as we..............the Anfield Reds of course.........are in Moscow playing Anzhi Makhachkala in the Europa League.
