Melonheadz - Best Friends

Wow, it so hard to believe that the year is just about done.  I don't know about you but it seems like the year just flew bye but I think I'm ready for it as I have new adventures in crafting coming up.  To start with I have been asked to join the following Design Teams:

Inky Impressions 
(yippee!! Nicole just can't keep me away LOL, I will be doing the Sponsor Coordinator duties as well)

Pumpkin Spice 
(excited about this one as I'm hoping to get out of my comfort zone a bit with this one)

Victorine Originals 
(Vicky was kind enough to let me come back after a little break)

and

Melonheadz Stamps
(well the images are just too adorable and I couldn't resist LOL)  

which brings me to today's post. This image is Best Friends and is one of the MANY freebies on the Melonheadz blog.

With these great opportunities as a design team member on these amazing teams, I am also lucky enough to be a guest designer for some awesome companies...one of which will start on Thursday so stayed tuned :)
  

Simply Betty - Christmas Color Challenge

Over on the Simply Betty Facebook group, they have a challenge every month where they offer an image to those who want to participate and of course their are prizes to be won :) This months challenge was to use Christmas Colors and they gave those wanting to participate this adorable image called "Candy Cane London".

I really loved how this one turned out and I'm also entering it into the Simply Challenged Challenges.

Happy Thursday everyone!  I am having so much fun being the guest designer for Sassy Designs that I'm not looking forward to the end of the month :( This week's Dare to Be Sassy Thursday Challenge is "Christmas Thanks".

My card today uses All Wrapped Up.  This isn't your traditional Christmas thanks but I wanted to go with the reds and well this one is for my hubby as he got me a beautiful jewelry set this year :)

Hope you will join the fun and give it a go. You don't need to use a SSD image to play along, but we love it when you do. Enter by next Wednesday night for your chance to win 2 SSD images of your choice.

There is some extra incentive for using a SSD image, you get to enter twice. So if you use one, make sure you link to your blog post and the second link can just be to your blog (it won't let you link to the same post twice). After your name, please put SSD, so we know why you are linking twice!
