Our last challenge for the year at MDUC (sorry its late)

 

eeek silly logger, I thought my post was scheduled but just realised it had not gone live. I guess now I have realised it is 4 days late I will update what I had written :-)

Well by now we should have all had Christmas and recovering. I hope your Christmas celebrations where wonderful and that you were all spoilt rotten....I know I was! My husband worked Christmas morning so it was very weird for the kids and I to wake up without him here. The kids were so good and had actually decided that they wanted to wait for Michael  to get home from work before they opened their presents which truly melted my heart as they did not want him to miss out on the fun. They have become very good with this and also choose on their birthdays to wait to after school when he is home to open birthday presents. Of course we always give them something small to open in the morning. So I can say that I was very proud of my children. 

Now it's time to relax for a few weeks as I am on holidays and the kids are on holidays so lots of relaxing mornings coming our way!

This week it is our last challenge at MDUC for the year and it will be remaining open until the 12th January as we are all taking a break. To make it nice and easy for you we have gone with the anything goes theme..I have seen already this has attracted a lot of entries! Our gorgeous teamie Janiel has donated so rubber as a prize so be sure to stop by the MDUC blog and check it out and the beautiful work o display.

My card is very simple as I just find crafting at this time of the year to be a challenge as I want to be outside enjoying the elements and then by the time I come inside I am just too tiered to craft. Having said that this morning I am going to finish a card I started a few days ago. Anyhow enough waffling here is my card:

So I look forward to seeing all your work and  catching you all in blogland next year. 

Until next time xoxo

This is what I have created with my MiC goodies!

I had so much fun colouring up Chantelle...I really wanted to put her in a little black dress but realised halfway through  it is hard to get good folds in the dress using the grey copics but I did not want to give up so I kept going.

 I have to say I am happy with the end result even if she looks a little sassy, lol!

I coloured my frame using my water colour crayons and aqua brush.

It's sketch time at Magnolia Down Under Challenges

Good morning all....I am slightly late with my post today but have been enjoying a very quiet morning. My husband has been away since Friday on his annual golf trip and last night Robbie went to his very first sleep over party. So this morning it has been just me and Lizzie and it has been peaceful!

So this week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we have a sketch challenge for you.

Its a great sketch hey and very versatile. 

Here is my card:

I decided to go non traditional Christmas colours this time and have to say had fun with the blues not a normal colour for me.

So there it is I am looking forward to seeing your creations. 

Be sure to pop by the MDUC blog and see what surprise we have on offer and also to check out the other mind blowing gorgeous cards on display.

Thanks for stopping by today
