The challenge is to make a pocket hence the title ** In My Pocket ** and you have to hide the theme within the pocket are you following me so far the theme is Buttons, this challenge came just in time for me as i needed something different for the Me To You swap i am involved in

Anyway thanks Hels i really enjoyed this one xx

** Catch up **

Hi Everyone

Well what a busy week i have had with one thing and another haven't had much chance of crafting but today it's pouring with rain so thought it a good time to catch up on a few things.

Firstly i made 3 ATC's for Lesley's monthly swap over on CSF which the theme for this months is butterflies.

My next catch up was the SS challenge from last week sorry Hels the theme for this week was France so i made a card using my Tim Holts Paris stamps and black Stazon .

My final catch up for today anyway is this weeks SS challenge and this weeks theme is Black & White so i made a card using my recently purchased stamps and Black stazon and finished it off with black & white ribbon.

Maybe if it rains tomorrow i can catch up on a few more you don't realize how quickly things can creep up on you anyway hope everyone is well and having fun xx.

Thanks for looking and for your comments hope they are nice ones.

** 3 in 1 **

Whoohoo i've gone and done 3 challenges all in 1 go how good is that....the first challenge i did was for last weeks Sunday Stampers run by Hels which was Sisters and as i am doing a scrapbook for my new puppies who are sisters this fits in lovely for my second challenge also for this weeks Sunday Stampers which is Dogs so again this fits in lovely with my scrapbook

And for my third challenge for this weeks CSF scrapbook challenge run by Lesley is to do a double LO so again my puppy scrapbook works this weeks challenge was to do a double LO using 2 or more photo's something squiggy as Lesley puts it ie rik rak or scalloped edges a metal embellishment of some kind (i have used metal borders) and to use white & 2 bright colours so my main page is red & orange and i used white card with scalloped edges for the background of my photos so i think i have done all what was asked (hope so anyway)

Many thanks for looking and your lovely comments
