Bearly Mine Challenge 26

The last challenge for the year has begun today over at Bearly Mine Challenges, and this one will run for 4 weeks, to give every one a chance to enter, with that C word being in the name, that seems to have jumped up and bit me on the rear end... where did this year disappear too so quickly?

As always, we have some fantastic prizes to be won, by our wonderful sponsers, who for this challenge are.

Bearly Mine Designs - 2 Digis of the winners choice.

Fred She Said - $20 Gift Certificate

Delicious Doodles - 4 Digis of the Winners choice.

The Paper Shelter - $15 Gift certificate

The theme is ANYTHING GOES.

The DT have been as busy as ever, and as always have come up with some fabby creations, please make sure you drop by their blogs and leave a little love.

I dragged out an old fav image of mine, just wish I had used this more this year, as it really is one of my favs... that will teach me for being lastmin.com as per usual.... Promise to self, TRY and be more organised next year... (sure I got a vague recollection of saying that this time last year lol)...

The papers I have used are BMD Christmas swirls, and to end the year as I probably started it.. I do not have a clue what copics I used... hey I have been pretty good of late, didnt want you all to forget just had bad I am at remembering to write them down as I go lol... and in my defence Your Honour.... tis Christmas and very hectic. :)

I would like to wish all my followers and all the lovely people that take the time to leave such wonderful comments THANK YOU ALL, so much, it really is so appreciated, and I do apologise for not always being as good as you, and dropping by your blogs..... another must do on my NY's resolution list !!!

A Gem of a Challenge -36

Minus 1... not the best way to wake up is it !!! gosh that was a bit of a shock when put toes out of bed... need to reset heating me thinks ! but then, that also might mean a few extra hours in bed :) brrrrrr

So thats my weather report from Kent this morning LOL... now onward with the fun stuff..... AGOAC, has a fantastic sketch by Rebekah, to follow this time, and I would like to point out, ,that this challenge will run until 6th January as we are all having a little break over the Xmas period, I think we are all 'carded' out lol...

I really liked this one and will defo use again. So thank you Rebekah, fabby :)

LOOK.... NO COLOURING ... lol , getting near to making my last few Xmas cards, and just not the time to sit and colour... so I was so pleased I had this image, which can be found HERE at the Pink Gem shop, cos I think, as per usual, its sooo cute. All of the design papers are also by Pink Gem, as is the sentiment stamp, (got to be one of my favs too)... so no copic numbers to wrack my brains for lol....

Hope you are all nearly finished with you Xmas card making and managing to stay warm. We look forward to popping by... sometime over the next 4 weeks :) and seeing all your fabby creations.

Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, big hugs Jackie. xx
