*** Birthday at Sweet Stampin ***

 Good morning everyone,  I hope your weekend is going well.  We have been dog sitting our handsome Banksy.  He is such a friendly, clever boy that sure keeps us on our toes.

Today starts a new challenge at Sweet Stampin where we are celebrating our 12th Birthday.

I have stamped a cute little kitty from MFT Stamps, coloured with Copics and added some Diamond Stickles for sparkle.  The background is a SU stamp in Distressed Oxide Flamingo Pink. Sentiment - MFT Stamps as well as the black and white strip. MB Wrapped Stitch Rectangles make the border.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Colour Crazy Challenge Wk 46
Creative Fingers Challenge #219

Thank for visiting today.

Hope you get a chance to stop by and see the fabulous inspiration from my talented team mates, and play along with us if  you can...We'd love to see you there.

hugs,

***Checks ***

 Hello everyone,

I'm here to tell you about our new fortnightly challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #540

where our lovely team mate Pat has chosen the theme 

"Check it Out"

so show us your checks, plaids and/or tartans.

No colouring for me today just some fun time with my new dies from Memory Box
This is not a usual colour combo for Christmas but really is on trend this year and I quite like it.
I am a fan of MacKenzie Childs pottery and this reminds me of their Courtly Check.
I pulled out my much loved G45 papers and found this wonderful black and cream check and knew I had to cut into it.  The little acorn is new from MB..a little pesky to assemble but well worth the effort I think.  I also have the larger acorn die set that I will show sometime later this month.  Once again I have used the Stampin-Up sweater embossing folder on the background.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Allsorts Challenge #650
Crazy for Challenges #610
Dream Valley Challenge #259
Peace on Earth Challenge #3

Thanks for visiting today. 

I hope you play along with us this fortnight.

hugs,

Pat K xx
