Dutch Dare Sponsorship

With 2011 on it's way out, we thought we could sneak in a couple last sponsorships to send it out with a bang! We are excited to once again be the sponsor this week at Dutch Dare Card Challenges and when I got the theme of challenge a song came to mind. How about a little clue? It's goes something like this:

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

So can you guess what the challenge might be?  That's right this week is all about your favorite things- this can be anything for a fave hobby, product, image, color, etc.  The possibilities are only limited to what your imagination can come up with.

Oh and I almost forgot, I am excited to announce that I (Christy) have been invited to join 

the Dutch Dare team -WOO HOO!  A few of the boutique team decided to play along and have provided some wonderful projects, but you will have to check their blogs to see what their fave things are that they used.

Let's meet Ali aka Dragonlady

I am a working Mum of two gorgeous girls and we live in a market town in Devon UK. I have always enjoyed some sort of creative craft. I started with Tapestry, then moved to cross stitch but needed something more immediate which was when I took up card making. I entered the world of blogging two years ago and have met the most wonderful people. I also do some digital scrapbooking and am trying to get into altered art ...... baby steps!!! I am so pleased to have been asked to join this team and honoured to be using Tracey's fantastic images.

 

Can you say BLINGALICIOUS?  Yes I created a word to describe this sparkly delight, that gold is a total WOW factor!  Ali has used the "fairy's laundry line" image which you can pick up here.  I love the sentiment she used and how she added glitz to everything!  Wanna see more of her work?  Head over to her blog Crafty Dragons and become a follower!
