Balloons

Hello lovely people,

Here we go again with a new challenge at Crafty Little Fairies and our theme this month is...

SPOTS &/OR STRIPES

We are thrilled to have FIVE fabulous sponsors this month:

THE RIBBON GIRL

MARIANNE DESIGN

IVA NOVA CHEST

HANDY HIPPO

CRAFTY RIBBONS

I took advantage of the lovely birthday discount recently to stock up on LOTV stamps, a mixture of old and new.  Today I have used an older stamp but I thought it was a very versatile design and I've teamed it with some of the fab LOTV papers.  Oh, and the sentiment is from a LOTV set I got in my little spending spree as well :-)

I think I've got the theme covered with spots and stripes on the DP and the image!

Nearly forgot...

Hello lovely people,

Apparently having a few days off work has led to me completely losing track of what day it is and very nearly forgetting to do this post for Crafty Little Fairies!  This wouldn't have been so bad except that I also forgot to take the photos of my card and spent a good yesterday evening while trying to get a photo that wasn't awful.  Special thanks to Dr Hubby for holding lamps whilst I played with camera settings.  UDATE: Photos retaken this morning; still not much light but better than last night!

Ok, onto our theme for this week and that is...

Autumn colours

Our sponsor this week is My Crafty Heart with a £10 voucher :-)

This was a tough one for me as I almost never use this colour palette but I did have a new (for me) LOTV stamp to play with and found a scrap of suitable DP hiding in my stash and this is what I came up with;

I hesitate to inflict another poor photo on you but here is the close up... *winces*
