SALS 52 and a HM box

Good morning lovelies! I do hope you are well and happy. Thanks so much for your comments yesterday - you really made little Penny's day with all your words of encouragement. Thankyou!

Today there's a new challenge at seemsalittlesketchy. Here's what I did using a digi from Crafty Sentiments:



My card uses a digi from Crafty Sentiments that you can get here. I coloured the image using promarkers. The papers are from LOTV and prima.  And here's the sketch I used and you need to use to join in with the challenge:


Its a great sketch. See if you can't join us this time!

I'd also like to share a box with you that I've made to put a Christmas present in.





The housemouse is a decoupage sheet from Joanna Sheen Crafts - the box is a box that clarity stamps came in from Create and Craft - I've covered it using papers from papermania's 12 days of Christmas.

I'd like to enter this into the Housemouse challenge that is anything but a card this fortnight. I was lucky enough to have a win on their challenge last week and want to thank Heather for the fabulous Joanna Sheen voucher she sent to me - its fabulous Heather - thankyou xxx I'd also like to enter my box into joannasheenchallenge- food-for-thought.
Thats it for today - I'm off to see my crafty ladies today and we're going to be deco-patching some christmas tree ornaments! I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow.
Big Hugs
