Today is the first Sunday of the month so time for a new challenge over at We Love Stamping. Each month a member of the design team will be selecting a theme to reflect their own individual style of crafting or favourite themes. On the remaining months we will continue as before with a general theme along with an anything goes option, as previously. Our theme this month is: **Christmas** OR Anything Goes I have to admit that Christmas is not my favourite time of year and making Christmas cards is not my favourite pastime either, but it comes round every year and every year I manage to do my bit and make my cards. I just moan about it a lot! When I went to the Festival of Quilts at the NEC in August this year I managed to resist buying fabric, but Colourcraft (they make Brusho paint) had a stall there and they were selling a few stamps, which I liked the look of, so I bought a few. The little Christmas tree and the concentric circle were among them. I had made a few alcohol ink panels recently and decided to use them for backgrounds on these cards. That is what determined my non traditional colours. I have had a pad of alcohol lift ink in my stash for ages (probably more than 2 years) and hadn't used it so I decided to try it with my circle stamp and was quite pleased with the look. The sweet little patchwork tree was stamped and heat embossed in white onto Hunky Dory adorable scorable coated card and then fussy cut. I used the same card to make the scalloped matt and then mounted the panel onto a paler cardbase (also adorable scorable). The sentiment, by Uniko, was stamped and heat embossed. Of course, I made a few more while I was at it. Don't forget there is always a prize to be won and This month there are three prizes of Sweet Dixie Christmas die sets from Aldridge Crafts. Why don't you head over to the challenge blog to check it out? The prize winner is selected randomly and in addition the DT will choose a top three for special mention. I hope I have inspired you to join us this month, all you have to do is ensure stamping (including digi) is seen somewhere on your card front, it no longer needs to be the main focus. Please also mention the products used. It would be great if you could join in with our theme, but anythings goes is always an option if you are out of ideas. The challenge will close at noon (UK time) on Wednesday 4th December. I am looking forward to seeing you in the gallery. I am also sharing this at: NBUS #68 - The Christmas Tree and Circle stamp are NBUS Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
The Fiddling Series Rube Goldberg
Whether you are playing jigs, reels, hornpipes, Celtic, or American fiddling, folk music has certain bowing patterns, accents, and rhythms that are similar across genres and styles. Use this fiddling warm-up to get used to the various bowing styles and left hand ornaments that you will be playing.
Could not sleep so I drew some waltzing drawing it is much less of a challenge than doing it. XD

Sunset at the San Francisco 49’ers Levis Starium football match. These high seats gave us incredible views of the stadium and the sky. One of my fave activities in San Fran. Getting ready for the superbowl against Kansas City Chiefs!
