What A Winter !

Hi,

I started a new dance / fitness class last week and it was brilliant, the teacher was trained by Natalie Lowe, Ian Waite and Mark Foster, as i'm a huge Strictly fan, this is right up my street, plus our teacher organises lots of fun social events including theatre trips (and i've already booked and paid for one in December), nights outs and weekend dance sessions - bring it on :-).

I so wanted to enter the lovely Squirrel's Great Penguin Challenge, but i so couldn't decide what stamp to pick, then when i did pick a stamp, as it's so large - what to do with it !!, the image is : Penny Black - 'What A Winter ! / 2751 K / 2003', i've added : Tim Holtz - 'Barn Door Distress Stickles', to the holly in the wreath, the shape is : Go Kreate 'Large Frames Filly #9', the papers are : My Mind's Eye - Wonderful Winter / Glittered Holiday Papers', the die (cut in 2) is : Memory Box - 'Frostyville Wreath', decorated with lots of gems, the ribbon is from : The Ribbon Girls - 'Khaki Sage Green No.80 Berisford Satin', the sentiments are : LOTV - 'Christmas Tags', that have been sparkled.


A close up of the glitter, as i'm not sure the first photos show it.


The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :

Squirrels Great Penguin Challenge  - how could i not enter, such a fabby Challenge, thanks hun for organising it.

Divas By Design - where the Challenge is 'Pretty In Glitter'

ABC Christmas - where they are up to 'S - For Something Festive'

Christmas At Sweet Stampin' - where the September Challenge is : 'Christmas Critters'

Fab N' Funky - where Challenge No: 230 is 'Christmas'
