I Love .. Blue and White

Hello, good afternoon. It's another nice sunny day here in Malta, but I was back to work today, so I was just drooling at it from the office window, wishing I was out there enjoying it.... Hopefully this weather will stay for when I am on vacation leave. A few more days now and I'm freeeee for a few days he he :) 

 Anyways, it's Wednesday today, so a new challenge has just started at I Love Promarkers and this week we love BLUE AND WHITE. I thought I would do me another Christmas card  ...

For my card today I used a really sweet freebie stamp from the magazine Cardmaking and Papercraft, papers from stash, some gems and ribbon and some gorgeous dies. The die where I stamped my sentiment is from Crafty Sentiments, poinsettia Spellbinders, the flourish standing is Joy Crafts and the oval centre die and other flourish are both Marianne Creatables.

We are this week sponsored by Crafty Emma store and the prize is £10 voucher from the store.

I am entering my card in these challenges today

Crafts and Me - CHRISTMAS
Divas By Design 17 - MERRY CHRISTMAS
Ladybug Crafts Ink 50 - BINGO (ribbon, flowers, dies)
Bearly-Mine Challenge 25 - UN-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS
Delightful Sketches - BLUE CHRISTMAS
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 164 - ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL
Paper Sundaes 99 - ANYTHING CHRISTMAS

And now I want to show you this sweet stamp  that I won from the Everybody-Art-Challenge. Woo hoo so fun  : ) thank you girls.
  

And some photos as well now... finally !!! These are from the Crafty Day that we had for the kids.




   All the kids in my group happy with their project

The finished project

And all the three groups... One group did a crib, and another did glass painting.
 

That was a really great day, tiring but loved it and everyone is already looking forward for another one.


Thank you for looking
