Hi there!! Welcome back for my 2nd post of the day. As you can see the challenge at Teddy Stampers today is one that is set by a member of our DT. Today the challenge is set by the talented ANNIE (go and visit her blog, it's wonderful, the link is in my side-bar!). ANNIE set us the challenge to use the following on our card:
1 square, 1 circle and 1 rectangle. What a fun & easy challenge. Thanks ANNIE!!

Say it with Embossing @ Annabelle Stamps

Hi all. WOW!! It has been a CRAZY week. I have had my Mom visiting all week, it's been my birthday, kids activities, cake sales & a trip to the circus. SO.... needless to say I have not even come close to my craft table :(

The challenge over at Annabelle Stamps this week is to use embossing, dry or heat embossing or both on your card.

As I haven't had a chance to make a new card, I am going to show you one of my older Annabelle cards where I used embossing. Hope you don't mind, just for today!!

Here is my card, using one of my favourite older Annabelle sets, "Helen's Party".



I promise to have a new wonderful card and sketch for you next week!! In the meantime I hope you will play along with us in this challenge. When you have finished your card, link it to the Annabelle Blog.

Have a wonderful weekend. xx

Say it in - Chocolate & Orange with Annabelle Stamps

Morning everyone. As you can see from the title above our challenge is to create a card with the colours Chocolate & Orange. What a yummy combination!!!

But.....I am having problems with my computer and not one of my USB ports are working, so I cannot upload my card!!! I made it yesterday, using the lovely new "tree-MEN-dous" set and made a fab card, took a photo of it, and then realised that I wouldn't be able to upload it to my computer. (I am pulling my hair out here!!)




I am sending it in to our computer guy today, so if he has any luck and is able to fix the problem I will add my card to this post!!

Please stop by the other DT girls blogs to check out their wonderful Chocolate & Orange creations to get some inspiration and then get creating!! Link your card to the Annabelle Blog when you are finished. Hope to see you back here soon!

EDITED TO ADD:
O.K, so after loading my camera programme onto hubby's computer & then e-mailing my photos back to myself I am finally able to add my photos to this post at 5:55am. What a mission!!!
P.S. My computer guy says I may have to get a new computer, OMG, is he mad???

ABSC025 - A new sketch @ Annabelle Stamps

Morning all. Hope you have had a good week. Mine has been super busy because it has been month end, so lots to do at work. Yesterday the lady who looks after my kids was as sick as a dog so I had all 3 boys at work with me while I had to do about 100 statements. I got the 2 bigger boys involved, Bryce put the stamps of the envelopes for me and Caide attached all the invoices to the statements. They actually had a lot of fun!! Anyway moving onto my card for today.

We got to play with another lovely sketch by Andrea!!


I had so much fun putting this card together. The new Annabelle Stamps are so stunning to play with, great stamps & sentiments in a set. The set I used is called Sentimental Bluebells. Andrea is still running the 4 sets for the price of 3 until the end of today, so get over to the Annabelle Shop and take advantage of this GREAT deal!!!





Also remember if you take part in this challenge you stand in line to win a lovely prize. The details are in my sidebar. Just link your creation to the Annabelle Bling Challenge, and don't forget to add some bling to your card where indicated. Hope you will play along.
