Alexander Palace and Creative Card Crew Challenge Week 4 - Texture

Week 4 over at the Creative Crew Challenge already, can you believe it? We are all so impressed with the entries that we get every week. In my book every one is a winner, unfortunately we don't have enough prizes for everyone! This weeks prize is a gift certificate for $20 at the Bella website.

The challenge this week is to add texture to your cards. I used this christmas bella image, its one of my favourites, and i have used snow writer to highlight the fur around her coat and on her boots. I have also embossed the background using my snowflakes embossing folder, with sequin icicles with gem centres.


I hope many of you will join us again this week, and i look forward to visiting your blogs to see your fabulous creations.

ALEXANDER PALACE

Over the weekend i did mention that i might be going to Ally Pally this month with Anna-Marie Designs. Well yesterday i got the confirmation that its all going ahead. My friend who runs Anna-Marie designs will be doing another craft event in Belfast that weekend, so myself and my lovely friend Katy will be doing Ally Pally by ourselves. I have to say i am very excited, as well as nervous!!! We will be selling Anna's own design templates and packs of both A4 and A3 double sided pearlescent card and a felt finish card. All of these cards are excellent quality and excellent value.

So if any of you lovely blogging friends are going to Ally Pally it would be lovely to say hi to you ! maybe you could drop me an email or leave a comment and i will be sure to look out for you.

This sunday there is a craft show at Thetford, my friend Katy and i are going for a look, Anna-Marie designs will be there but we are not working. If anyone else is going and would like to meet up for a cuppa please drop me a line, it would be good to meet you!

Not much else been happening my end, oooh other than i got my new Clio this afternoon. As some of you, i hadn't been particularly excited, but now its here im loving it. It is a dream to drive, although i am nervous too, as im scared of damaging it. You all know about my accidents in October, so understandably i am a little nervous.

I have nearly finished my easter cards thank goodness, just a couple more to work on which should be done by this evening, fingers crossed, will post them at the weekend.

I hope you are all having a good weekend, and look forward to catching up again later in the week, when i will also get round to visiting all your beautiful blogs.

Hugs for now Linda x
