Funky Friday Challenge

This week I have still been clearing out stuff - yes still "decluttereing" - it may take me some time - Dawn has witnessed the my craft room / hubbie's studdy and she can vouch that it is like a TARDIS.

What I would like to know is where does it all come from? I have paper that breeds paper. I have already taken a bootfull of paper to the recycling and I have a 7 seater car. I will have another bootfull by the end of the weekend too.

Anyway onto the this weeks Funky Friday Challenge.

Another colour combination with a theme!




Here is mine : I was a bit fed up of snow so decided to add glitter to appear as frosting on the rose. Just mounted this set and I love it.



Using the stamp-a-ma-jig to add the highlight on the roses is right up my street. I also use my stamp-a-ma-jig to mount my stamps so my stickers are aligned exactly where my stamp is. I know a bit OCD but maybe I will do a tutorial and you can become OCD too!

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: A Rose is a Rose, Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Ink: Night of Navy
Paper: Bashful Blue DSP
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon, Light Blue glitter from the Fine Cosmo set.

I am looking forward to tomorrow as I am off to the Papermill for a crop - still got to decide what I am taking! Can't wait to see all the girls again and catch up with the gossip. Next Saturday I am off to Alford for a Post Christmas Party Crop at Jacqui's. If you have trouble viewing her blog go through internet explorer rather than Firefox. Have LOADS to get organised for that day - looks like we are in for a real treat and will be kept busy.


Thanks for stopping by.
