Good Morning Ladies,

Here is this weeks Sketch for our weekly challenge, everyone is welcome to join in, 

I will share everyone's Challenge Cards on Sunday, you just have to email a photo of it to me by Saturday evening.

A fairly simple challenge this week, three strips of decorative papers, embellished at the top with a flower, or anything you choose to use, it could just be a bow, a rosette or anything that you like. You don't need to use lace, a paper border will be just as good, punched or die cut, or a bit of ribbon. 

I am looking forward to seeing your designs ladies!

Next up today are some of the ladies purchases from our lovely day at Ally Pally.

Mine will be featured tomorrow, hopefully with Pats & Brenda's .

Maria, you bought some lovely things, lots of lovely new dies, I love your Snowman stamp! Some other lovely stamps too, some different ink applicators, I do like the look of your Tonic alphabet dies too. Some card and pixie powders, iced snow and the black ice too, you have some lovely new things to play with Maria, I am excited to see the cards you create xxxx

Sue, some lovely Christmas dies, your Gingerbread man is so cute, so are the Reindeer, some paper pads and paper packs, glue and Tape too, good to stock up on the essentials while they are there, we forget to restock otherwise, those Sport andc Garden dies are going to be so useful, I can't quite see the centre one, it looks like sentiments. I know you will be putting this lot to great use, I look forward to crafting with you as you play with them too xxxx

Margaret, well I think you take the trophy for most shopping!!  But what we have to remember is Margaret has only been crafting a few months so she is still buying the basics and essential things. You have built up an amazing stash already Margaret, I think you have most occasions covered.  Some very useful dies in your shopping, lots of foliage, alphabets and sentiments, card blanks, the Inkyliscious Winter Bauble Kit, 

Lynda, myself and Anne have this too, its going to be fun seeing all of the different cards. You and Sue bought the bargain die storage case, you got a great deal on those ink pads, they are fab inks. A lovely range of paper pads finish your buys, thanks for sharing Margaret, looking forward to seeing your cards xxxx

Lynda, you bought some lovely die sets, your bargain Tonic die storage, some card blanks, lots of Cosmic shimmer goodies, including embossing powder, iced snow, gilding wax, some lovely wide ribbon, that lovely new chain embellishment, Gilding Polish, I love the inkyliscious Poppy stamp and sentiment too.  I can't wait to see your cards, thank you for sharing your buys xxxx

We all had a fantastic time at Ally Pally, you ladies all bought some fabulous goodies, we are going to see some lovely cards over the coming weeks, I am so excited. I am surd that like me you get home and can't wait to start playing with your new things.
