Snowy Wreath

Good Evening,

I'm back with a card for a couple of challenges.  I was determined when I sat down tonight that I wasn't going to do a Christmas card, but guess what I ended up with!

Supplies Used:
Papertrey Ink - Snow Flurries
Sparkles from my stash

Challenges Entered:
Clean and Simple on Sunday

Festive Friday

On a seperate note, I have finally worked out why when I upload my photos to Blogger it has been 'darkening' them.  Turns out Google in their wisdom has changes the settings in Google + to 'auto enhance' photos. If you turn this off you photos should be as they are when you edit them.  If you are having the same problem and want to fix it then follow these steps

• Log into Google +
• Go into 'Home'
• Then 'settings'
• Scroll down 'Photos'
• Change 'Auto Enhance' to Off

This is probably something that others already know about, but if it has been driving you mad like it has me hopefully this will resolve the problem.

Twine Wreath

Good Afternoon,

A bit later in the day for me to be joining in with Less Is More, however I was away to a cupcake decorating class this morning so didn't get home till later.

The challenge this week at Less Is More is to use 'String or Twine'.  I was going to make twine flowers but I noticed that Chrissie had showcased that so decided to do something different.

Supplies Used:
Nestabilities
Twine from my stash
Sparkles from my stash
Inkylicious Sentiment
Ribbon from my stash

I would also like to enter this card into the latest challenge over at Festive Friday where the challenge is 'Wreaths'.

And here is a picture of the cakes I decorated this morning, not bad for a first attempt I thought.

Muse Challenge #40

Good Evening,

I am getting right back into the swing of entering the weekly Muse challenge. I took a little bit of a break for a while, but for some reason my mojo for the challenge has returned.  I would also like to thank everybody for the votes for my card I entered in last week's Muse challenge, it was a great surprise to see I was a featured member.

This week they have a guest designer and it is the wonderful Darnell.  I am sure everybody in the card blogging world knows Darnell as she is so sweet and supportive to everybody.  So when I seen she was guest designer there was no way I was missing joining in.  In the end my card looks nothing like Darnell, however hopefully if you tilt your head sideways you will be able to see I used Darnell's card as a sketch as my inspiration.

Supplies Used:
Stampin Up - Jumbo wheel stamp
Glitter Paper and Bakers Twine from stash

And here is Darnell's beautiful card
