Downrightcrafty: Going All Sentimental over at the Winter Wonderland

Good morning to you all in the land of blog

Today brings some fabulously exciting news from the

as well as the next challenge details and a new look

Last week Marianne introduced you to the new members of the DT. This week you get to see all of us together prior to us splitting into two teams.

Also pop back on Sunday to the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog to see the winners, which will now always post on a Sunday.

Our sponsors this week are

Lynne was very kind to provide the design team with some of her fabulous sentiments, the beauty of them is you can print them any size you want.

So onto the challenge, this week's theme is

My Sentiment Exactly

(use a sentiment as your focal point on your card or creation)Don't forget our challenges until mid February can be Christmas or Non Christmas related

So here is my design team inspiration

I used some gorgeous red mirror card, and papers from the Papermania Silent Night Range. The flowers are from Prima and the little pearls from the Hobby House. The sentiment is from "Sentiments for You" which I enlarged to show behind an aperture. The aperture was cut with my new grand nesties on my new grand callibur, adore this piece of equipment and the new sizes.

I am entering this into the following challenges

Crafty Cardmakers - Floral
Stamp Fairy - Circules
Woodware USA - Anything Goes
Christmas Card - Christmas and no colouring
Fab N Funky - use a digi (the sentiment)
Penny's Paper-Crafting - Anything Goes
Stamp Fairy - Circles
Do you Stack Up - Patterns - the holly pattern paper

Hello to all my new followers and thank you to my lovely visitors that take the time to make me smile with their lovely comments

Hugs Kate x
