CHALLENGE # 828 - Halloween!

 Hello everyone,

Chrissy here with you this week as your hostess with a theme not everyone likes..HALLOWEEN.

I don't celebrate Halloween here in NZ but I do like to dabble in the purples and yellows  and creepy things lurking in the corners, or fun and whimsical, so if you enjoy the fun side of Halloween ( or spooky ) come and join in this week, would love to see all you have..

This is what I made..

A simple water colouring background in purples and black, a giant moon with bats and some houses that came already spooky and I just layered them, up..

So link up below and don't forget to check out the girlfriends projects, they have DT beside their name..

Have fun..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Challenge #826 - I'm Still Standing

 Happy Wednesday! Kate here with another Elton John-inspired challenge. This time, the song of choice is "I'm Still Standing". I'm looking for projects of encouragement - and you can interpret that however you'd like! Get well, congratulations, I believe in you, I love you, you've got this, etc. The written sentiment doesn't even have to be there. Perhaps it's a scrapbook page celebrating a milestone or a bouquet of paper flowers to cheer up a friend. 

I decided to do a scripture journal page to encourage myself!

Check out the Girlfriends' wonderful projects below (marked DT) and then link up a project of your own. I'm excited to visit your blog to see what you've created!

It’s time for a new challenge! This week, the theme is Honky Cat (another one of Elton John’s hits which I am using as inspiration for my challenge themes this year). I’m opening the theme up to any sort of household pet though - so cats are certainly welcome but so are dogs, rodents, fish, birds and exotic pets as well!

I created my card of a pup with three little kittens.
