Allsorts Challenge #711 - ATG/Winter Blues

 Hi Crafters,

We have a new challenge at Allsorts starting today, the theme is 

ANYTHING GOES with an option of

WINTER BLUES

The Design Team have all gone with the Blue theme and there are some fabulous creations so please pop over and take a look HERE.

If you go for the option we'd love to see all your winter cards in shades of  blue.


I have created an inky background for this fabulous tree trunk die cut using Distress Oxides (the die cuts were purchased on eBay so I do not have the brand name). The dotty stamps are from Stamp Addicts and the Sentiment is a combination of two sets cut from another inked piece of card.
Challenges I'd like to enter:
Little Red Wagon - #687 Baby It's Cold Outside
Creative Fingers - #246 ATG
Crafting Happiness - #138 Celebrations
Love To Craft - #72 ATG
613 Avenue Create - #1 ATG/Winter Theme
The Cutie Pie Challenge - #178 January Blues


As announced last week we are still giving prizes away each week but they will be announced once a month in future so below you can see what's on offer this month.

This month's prizes come from OakwoodStamp AddictsSizzix and AALL & Create, these links take you to their individual websites and you can read more about each on our Patrons' Page here.

Well that's all from me today, happy crafting,

Lorraine
