Over at Get Creative where I am a DT member, during the month of october we were and still are having a card bonanza with each member of the design team posting their own challenge and offering a prize in their category. There are 13 challenges running all with a different themes !!!. Well in order to give everyone a fair chance of taking part as some of the challenges were posted close to the end of the month, the deadline has now been extended until the 5th November . Why not pop over to Get Creative with thirteen challenges running i am sure there is something to suit everyone’s taste !!
Did you notice my new banner and blog button !! It was created by the multi talented Cindy Adkins of Whimsical Musings . I have to say I think they are gorgeous even if it is based on my own work lol. Cindy was given free reign to choose and design them both and think she did a fabulous job and so reasonable too ! She has chosen pieces that I believe reflect my style and I couldn’t be happier. For those of you that don’t know Cindy do pop over and visit as not only is she a fabulous artist, writer, designer but she also showcases many wonderful and talented designers on her blogs.
Last but least a little while ago I was lucky enough to win some blog candy from the fabulously talented Gerri Herbst of Its all Treasure. Well when I say some candy I mean loads and loads of candy !! The photo just doesn’t do it justice there are so many wonderful and interesting little treasure here I don’t know where to start ! but I know I will enjoy creating with them. Thank you so much Gerri for your kindness and generosity.
If anyone would like to grab my gorgeous blog button please feel free !
Take care
Marie
