Crafty Catz ATG with ADFD With optional twist

Morning gosh Friday again where the weeks going. Only seems 5 minutes since we started the year. I guess that means I am getting old. The years seems so long as a child I wonder if I am speeding up or slowing down.

Well as it is Friday, time for a new challenge at Crafty Catz. 

This weeks host is the talented Nick or Helene as her Sunday name.

She has picked our optional twist 

SOMETHING WITH WINGS

so lots of ideas on the challenge blog if you fancy the twist.

We are sponsored this week by

A DAY FOR DAISIES

 

who has kindly allowed the team to pick am image. 

So here is my card for your inspiration

My image is Frosty Snowflake Fairy and if you click on this it will jump you to the image.

Now I got my pencils out and thought I would try and use them only have a few so as this is mainly blue I thought why not.

What do you think go on be honest i cant take it. I must say took longer than my pens.

Dp is all old papers and the colour came from the blue dotty paper I found just loved the shade shame I covered so much of.

Die are all spellbinders except the snowflake which is memory box

Lots of Frantage for the snow and some glitter with a few gems.

Ribbon is dovecraft

Sentiment is a Crafters Companion freebie from a mag

Think that is it

hope you like and dont forget to hop on over and checkout the girl;s makes.

Still time to enter out DT call you know you want to.

Well have a lovely weekend and i will be back on Sunday with a New DT card those of you may have noticed a new badge on my sidebar.
