Good morning to you all out there where ever you reside hope the weather is being very kind to you the weather person has told us SAT & SUN are going to be nice days let's hope so, this is a fun week at OSCC & decided on Not a Square for the challenge & if like me then a square is a safety net to be had & our lovely Sponsor's this week are Stitchy BearStamps & have given us some lovely stamps to work with I chose Angel Bear as I thought it would be nice to make a Christmas card for a change just to pop outside of the ZONE & maybe to give me the elbow in the ribs to make some more as a 100 2 weeks before Christmas is a very big Challenge.
I hope you like this card enough to come & join us in our Challenge it's not hard really just as long as it's not SQUARE be it a scrapbook, bookmark, card ATC etc. the list goes on & this is mine:


The card is from Which craft UK, papers & Sentiment are HOP papers freeby with a craft Mag ( Simply Cards & Papercraft I just had to use these from first seeing them) the circle die is Spellbinders & the embossed star circle/leaf dies are Marianne. I have also used Stickles & the berries if you can call them that are MSfrom a border punch, the image is Angel bear from Stitchy Stamps I hope they like what I have done with it I also used my promarkers.

Week #144 @ OSCC - At the Beach

Wow what a change in the weather oops sorry hello everyone hope your weather is as good as the day we have had today it's been glorious woo hoo.

This week-end is a lovely challenge & certainly fit's the weather (don't they say if you run out of things to say talk about the weather?) it's called At The Beach and from looking at the entries you got there first this is because my MOJO is still packed in some of the boxes in my cupboards I'll find it soon I'm sure of that :)
This weeks Sponsor is lovely Robyns fetish whom I must apologise to as I haven't used any of the lovely images provided & that is because my printer is still out of order so I hope I'll be forgiven.
