Two More Awards Today

Today I need to say a huge thank you to Lorraine, Ann and Beryl for giving me the Proximity award and also to Denise and Leann for the Kreativ Bloggers award. I am honoured and pleased to accept ladies - thank you.

The Kreativ award is simply just that an award for Creativitiy.

The Proximity award has such a great sentiment behind it and here is what it says. 'This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind blogger’s aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these
writers! '
Deliver this award to eight blogger’s who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

As there are so many people who enter my challenges on a regular basis I would like these awards to go to them if they have not already received it, so please help yourself to the icons, and many thanks for doing my challenges each week and giving me inspiration and ideas.

Salty the Snowman

Posted by Picasa Here is my snowman card made whilst on my recent course with Audrey and Wendie. I stamped the snowman with blue inks and watercoloured out the edges adding some green and red for the holly and orange for the carrot nose. The background was made using Starburst Stains and sprinkling with coloured salt whilst still wet. When the inks dry brushed off the salt to leave the little coloured indentations - a new technique for me and very effective I think. This is my entry for the My Time to Craft 'Snowman' challenge this week.

Old Footballers Never Die

Posted by Picasa One of my husband's Managers has a birthday on Friday so of course I was asked to make his card. Using Joanna's 'Victorian Companion' I have simply decoupaged the images on top of plaid paper from Sue Smith's 'Festive' cd and added a few peel offs. The insert reads 'Old Footballers Never Die' as Brian is apparently an ex player.
