Santa's Naughty Or Nice List - Addicted To Stamps DT Card & Mini Candy Giveaway

Good morning peeps,
Sorry I've not been around much the past few days I'm struggling with my shoulder pain due to having to do loads of extra driving to taxi hubby around to hospital & doctors appointments virtually every day. His leg is all padded & bandaged up again & he's been put back on crutches due to the post operative infection in it so his beloved motorbike is all tucked up back in the garage again not that he should have been riding it yet, stupid man lol.

I am escaping for a couple of hours or so today, Ali is picking me up and we are heading to a craft show, obviously I am only buying "absolute essentials" to cheer myself up lol.

Today is new challenge day at
& this fortnight we have one of my favourite challenges

Ingredients -
Image - Karen's Doodles
Medium - Copics, all the E50's
Papers - Pion, Magnolia & stash
Lace - Prima
Pearls - Hero Arts & Wild Orchid
Sparkle - crystal glamour dust & Copic Spica Twinkling Stars
Flowers - Wild Orchid

I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Sweet Sketch Wednesday - sketch, 2 Sisters - anything goes, Crafty Catz - use a digi image, Floweret - Christmas, Jellypark - non traditional Christmas colours, Stempelsonnen - Santa Claus, Totally Papercrafts - Victorian, Crimbo Crackers - make it sparkle,

Today is Remembrance Sunday in the UK, or "Poppy Sunday" as I used to call it when I was little
Before I go I have a Moonlight Wishes Lili Of The Valley stamp to give away if anyone would like it. I went slightly wild and bought so many which will probably remain uninked due to my severe Magnolia addiction lol, so I thought rather than let it sit neglected in one of my stamp baskets I'd offer it as a little weekend candy as I've been such a bad blogger the past few days.
If you'd like it just leave a comment letting me know and I'll get hubby to pick out a winner

Thanks for stopping by

  29. Such a gorgeous card. Love the postmark stamp - it just reinforces the main image perfectly.

    You're right, letting that stamp go unlinked would be criminal. It's far too cute to go neglected. Thanks for offering the candy.

The pearls match so well with the coloured image and the lovely flowers. The sparkle sets the whole thing off. I would absolutely love to win the Moonlight Wishes stamp.
