PIP Challenge 2349

 Hello hello,

New challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges and the awesome sponsor for this challenge is:

                                                                        Newton's Nook

 Newton's Nook will be giving the lucky winner of this challenge a $15 Gift Code to use in their shop!                                                            

They have super duper cute products to choose from so be sure to check their site. 

This time I made a card with a stamp I received from my mom ( not a Newton's Nook product) .

Everytime when I get a new stamp, I can't help but use it as soon as possible. And this is what I made with it:

It was fun coloring it but after finishing it I also felt exhausted. 

Flu season is on , and of course , I managed to catch it too. It's just so weird, since I've had Covid the first time, (when all the madness with it began) it seems like everytime I catch a cold or flu it's never a simple cold anymore. Now I'm always getting so awfully sick that I can't even get out of bed and if I try, I get dizzy, can't eat, can't properly sleep and the slightest move I make tires me so bad and makes me gasp for air, like after running a marathon.

So I'm on day 5 of feeling awful, hopefully tomorrow will get better. I'm so behind with everything: sending all the cards, Christmas shopping list, even the tree is only halfway done, which is kind of a sad sight ( with the grey weather on the background as well). 

I'm gonna join in with the card in the following challenges:

- Wk 49 - Card making & paper craft challenge - Anything Goes creative craft challenge at Polkadoodles;

-#219- The Paper Shelter at Lil'Patch of Crafty Friends Challenges;

-DECEMBER 2023: Crafts Galore Encore Challenge #118;

-Card Making & Paper Craft Scrapbook challenge - Wk 25 Anything Goes.

Wishing you all a warm and cozy week!

Lots of hugs,

Renata

So happy to be starting this journey with them as a sponsor, they have amazing products and I am a big fan of their stamps. Be sure to check their page, they have loads to choose from (they also have an offer/discount for the Christmas products at the moment,wow )

The PIP challenges are always Anything Goes except for the 5th Monday of a month and Polkadoodles are kindly offering the random winner THREE free digis! Whoop whoop

This is what I came up with:

October Card Chain Reveal

 Hello everyone,

Hope you're all doing well and everyone is safe!

The Ciaran storm arrived to The Netherlands, there's rain and super strong wind. 

I had to run out to pick my bike ( the wind blew it to the ground) and bring it inside and also to collect my waste paper bin which the wind blew all the way to my neighbour's front door but other than that all is good and safe.

So today there was the October Card Chain Reveal over at The Card Chain Challenge, yayyy! 💃

I chose to go again for the sketch and this time went also for one of the themes which was Bear/ Balloons/ Friendship. I went for the bear.

This was the sketch provided

And this is the card I created and sent to Gail in Norway 👈 Take a look on her page, amazing creations!

This time I received an absolutely gorgeous card from Imke in Germany 👈Check the link to see the card I received and more beautiful creations by her.
