A Lucky Day ...

... or should that be a lucky week!

Whatever, this morning I discovered that I've won not just one challenge, but TWO this week ... how terrific is that :)
The first is at Crafty Cardmakers for this card depicting a 'winged thing'.
I used a new, to me, technique with ink dusters for the background - check the post here for details.

Thanks to Lin and Crafty Cardmakers for choosing my card as a winner :)


Please feel free to copy to your sidebar
The second is over at CHNC for challenge 145 - the one with the watercolour painting as inspiration for this my second submission entitled 'In A Manger'
This is another of my recycled toppers matted on to two layers using different methods of embossing - check the post here for details.

Many thanks to Hazel for running such a fabulous challenge blog.

I think the stars must all be in alignment this weekend and it's definitely started on a high for me. Not only these challenge wins but it's a Barbara Gray and Sheena Douglass weekend on Create and Craft TV too!

I was up at 6.30am bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, just raring to go. I even tried taking Julia's - Stamping Ground - advice and started on her itemised list of ten, but I think I peaked too early and I now need to have a lie down. It could be some time before I complete just that first ... i.e. #1. Make a list of all the things that you want to make between now and Christmas - 74 days to go! And only four weeks to moving day ... help!!!

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend too :)

Take care and happy crafting,
