Kind of autumnal (well there is a lot of orange). Isn't he a cute lil mummy. You can buy him at Di's Digi Downloads, who are sponsoring our challenge this week and if you enter you could be lucky enough to win a wee prize from Di's Digis.

I love Halloween. I'm getting my costume ready for when the kids come to my door. I dress up as a witch (wot do you mean, do I need a costume?) and when they come to the door to scare me I jump out first haha - they think I'm nuts, but I don't care a jot :o)

Image: Dis' Digis, Tanda Stamps (pumpkins)
Sentiments: Whimsy Stamps, cut with Whimsy Ticket Die
Paper: Raspberry Road

77 Days til the Jolly Fat Man gets here!!

So - where did this year go??? Only 77 days left til Christmas. Last Christmas feels like yesterday!

I really need to get my skates on shopping wise, hate the stress of last minute shopping.

Here is a wee Christmas card that I finished off today, after a wee jaunt to a car boot where I picked up a 3D frame for 50p :o) - not much else took my fancy, but the frame was a bargain!

The image is from Di's Digis, they have some really cute Christmas images over there, and the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps. We also have a Christmas Challenge on over at The Crazy Challenge, where you have to use no red or green, so why don't you pop over and have a go - you might even be lucky enough to win a wee prize.
