INCHY BY INCH CHALLENGE - PRESENTS

I thought I'd get you all in the Festive Mood early with a Christmas challenge on Inchy by inch this week - the theme is PRESENTS.

Also stay tuned - there will be a new format on the challenge blog starting in the New Year - I was thinking of stopping it but had my interested sparked with a slightly different idea so I'll keep it going for a bit longer - stay tuned to 2010 to see what the new format will be!

I've also received my first Christmas card - thanks Karen (Missy K)

Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday

It's Wednesday again and that means its time for WOYWW - I've tried to do this many Wednesdays before and even got as far as taking the pictures but not as far as putting them on the blog! doh! Well, here's today - its a CJ I'm doing for a forum that needed to be done by the 15th November - looks like I'm a bit late then! Oops

INCHY CHALLENGE BLOG - GUEST DESIGNER - JAINE

We have a Guest Designer Jaine, this week over at Inchy challenge blog and her challenge for us is Texture. Pop along to the blog to find out more about Jaine and see her great inchies.

INCHY CHALLENGE BLOG - WINTER WHITE

There is also a Christmas Inchy Swap running if you fancy joining in!

SMALL WORLD OF INCHIES/TWINCHIES /ONE POWERFUL HOUR

Over at the Small World of Inchies blog this week - the theme is faces. Over at One Powerful Hour the theme is small - well can't get much smaller than an inchy can you?

INCHY CHALLENGE BLOG - MEET OUR NEW ARRIVAL - ATC CHALLENGE - MIXED MEDIA MONDAY

As its Bonfire Night here on 5th November in the UK - our challenge over at Inchy challenge blog is Fireworks. I've done the Catherine Wheel as its one of my favourites so I thought I'd see if I could find out where it got its name. Wish I hadn't bothered - apparently it was named after an instrument of torture, the breaking wheel, upon which St Catherine was martyred. Hmm, not so nice.

I thought you might like to see a picture of a new addition to the Whitehead household - puppy! She is a Welsh Springer Spaniel and will be ready to come to us on 13 December. She's not really for Christmas - definitely for life! - its just so happened that's when one has come available. We thought we didn't quite have enough pets what with 3 cats, a dog and a horse!!! Isn't she gorgeous - We're all busy trying to decide on names for her? Any suggestions????

CHALLENGES

Its a while since I've been joining in with the challenges - but TMTA sparked my enthusiasm this morning with their theme of BROWN - I love the colour brown in all its nuances - I've used all Stampin Up stamps and supplies for this ATC. I just love this pheasant and have used him lots of times already - he lends himself really well to embossing!

The Challenge over at Mixed Media Monday this week is Opposites Attract - I used a Cherry Pie stamp here
