James in a Santa Hat and a little farewell

Morning Folks!

This is a sad post to write but after much thought I have decided to step down from all my Design teams and to take a break from card making and blogging for a while... Life just gets in the way sometimes and I'm not actually enjoying making cards as much as I used to. I'm going to focus on hobbies, mainly crochet and cross stitch, that are a little more 'portable' and which I find easier to fit into my limited crafty time. 

It feels a little strange to say that this is my last card for Passion for Promarkers 

I've had a lot of fun over the last few years with the PFP themes and I'd like to wish Denise and all the rest of the fabulous DT all the very best for the future! 

On a positive note, this is not just any challenge - it is the MEGA CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE !

The theme is Anything goes!

My card features the adorable James the Bear from LOTV (an old favourite) and First Edition papers:

Afternoon Folks!

I'm chasing my tail again!

The new challenge started yesterday over at Penny Black Saturday Challenges , as usual ANYTHING PENNY BLACK GOES

The optional 'Extra' challenge this time is

SPARKLE AND SHINE
I'm sorry to say this is going to be my last post as a member of the PBSC design team. There just aren't enough hours in the day lately to do everything, and sadly card making is becoming another 'to do' rather than a pleasure.  I've had a lot of fun over the last few years with PBSC themes and I'd like to wish Helen and the rest of the DT all the very best for the future!
Here's my card, it had to include Penny Black hedgehogs as this is why I first fell in love with PB stamps. This one is called 'What a Snow':

 I've doubled checked and although the card looks a bit lop sided, it isn't. I think it might be some optical illusion with the red stripey paper!
Not the best picture, but I hope you can see the fluff on the hat and the sparkly pom pom. 

I do hope you'll pop over to the main blog, just click on the picture below, to see the fabulous cards from the rest of the design team. 

We're also looking forward to seeing your entries, we are generously sponsored by
