My first shawl & the winner is.....

I got bitten bad by the knitting bug after I started this shawl. It was a really enjoyable knit and now I am afraid that I will start knitting several shawls!

All the details about the pattern and yarn can be found on Ravelry here. The pattern is free by the way- Liz Abinante is one awesome knitter.

Speaking of free things....the giveaway winner picked by random number is SHEREE! Love ya Sheree, just contact me with your postal address so I can send an extra package to go under your tree :)

WINNER!

Random.org popped out #4 as my winner, so Sandie I will be in touch by email to get your RAK out to you.

Thanks for your comments everyone, hope you had a great World Cardmaking Day. Lets do it again next year!

World Cardmaking Day Giveaway

This is one of my sketch cards I did for the special WCMD challenges that start today at Scrapz.biz. Clink on the link to check out the sketch, add your own spin on it and upload it to the gallery to go into the running for one of the prizes. You will need to be a member to view this section of the forum, but registration is fast and free.

BUT before you do, leave me a comment here about what you like about making cards and I will randomly draw a winner for a little RAK. If I get more than 10 comments, I will draw two names on Monday- so let your friends know to come and visit me :)

And finally I just wanted to say on this special day of celebrating cardmaking and cardmakers- a huge thank you to all the crafty bloggers out there who share their knowledge, ideas, creativity and enthusiasm with us all. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Card details: Stamps Tim Holtz Flights of fancy, distress ink background, grungeboard butterfly; distress stickles, clear embossing powder, liquid pearls.

A special weekend

If you've been under a rock you might not realise that it is World Card Making Day this Saturday. And why keep it just to one day? Why not a whole WEEKEND of card making fabulousness? So if that appeals to you (and it should) then here are two wonderful ways to get involved in the fun.

First, come visit me here and leave a comment on Friday Oct 2nd -Sunday Oct 4th about why you like to make cards to go into the draw to win a little RAK of stamping goodies. Then, go over to Scrapz.biz where there will be lots of challenges & inspiration! (Details below).

Come and celebrate with us at Scrapz.biz. Challenges will be posted in the forum starting on Friday 2nd October and will continue over the weekend. All entries are to be uploaded in the WCMD Members Gallery by Wednesday October 7th Midnight. Each entry will earn you a ticket in the random draw, to win one of three prizes. You may enter as many cards as you like.

See ya on the weekend!
