Crafty Friends DT Card - Anything Goes

Hi everyone

Thanks so much to everyone for the get-well wishes, I really appreciate them :) I'm feeling so much better now and I've almost caught up on everything too, so all good! I've had two college exams this week and I did really well in both of them! Much better than I expected, so I'm really happy!

The theme of this week's challenge over at Crafty Friends Challenge Blog is
Anything Goes
Here are details of this challenge's wonderful sponsor... 


One lucky winner will receive $7.00 of digital stamps of their choice from the store.

For my card, I used this adorable image Cup of Love - I'm trying to build up a Christmas card stash, so if I can use my DT makes to add to this pile I will! This image isn't a Christmas image per se, but coloured appropriately I think it works quite well :) 

Ingredients
Cup of Love by Pickled PotPourri
Nitwits papers
Wycinenka chipboard sentiment
MS snowflake border punch
Charm from Live and Love Crafts
Cheesecloth, snowflake, ribbon and poinsettia from stash
Coloured with Copics

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
(old stash because it's familiar and I know what it goes with always)

Thanks for looking :)

All Dressed Up October Facebook Challenge

Good evening everyone!

I was on holiday for two weeks, and on the flight home I got so sick that the paramedics were waiting for me when the plane landed, worst flight ever :P When you're at 30000 ft and can't see, feel your arms or face and your heart-rate is about 30 bpm and you can't stop vomiting, it gets pretty terrifying. Still not quite sure what went wrong, but a week later I'm feeling much stronger but still a bit delicate. 

Anyway, I'm playing catchup on all aspects of life at the moment, the post-holiday laundry pile seems to be never ending, I have so much college work to do I don't even want to think about it, and there's a few card orders due already so I'm feeling the pressure :P I need to concentrate on my health first though, as I can't do much if I'm dead lol. 

So, a few days late but better late than never. The All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge for October is the theme of "Autumn or Halloween". 

I used the adorable image Magical Day for my card.


Here's what I made :) 
 Ingredients
"Magical Day" by All Dressed Up digital stamps
Maja Design "Enjoying Outdoors" papers
Memory Box Cobweb Border die
Memory Box batty border die
Martha Stewart stars border punch
Saddlestitch ribbon from Ribbon Girl
Cheesecloth, purple sparkle netting, owl charm, brown tulle trim from stash
Coloured with Copics and purple distress ink pad
Stickles, Liquid Pearls
