Let's Dance!

Hello everyone from a very cold and sleety Scotland!  We had our first snow yesterday afternoon but by the time I left school it had turned into very wet stuff coming down in bucket-loads.  Yuk!

I'm here today to let you know the theme of our latest challenge at Sweet Stampin'.  It's called "Let's Dance", so we'd like to see your stamped creations featuring dancing of some kind.

I'm a huge Strictly fan so this Tiddly Inks image jumped straight into the shopping cart knowing that it would be used, and often!





I coloured the image with Copics, adding some sparkle with Glamour Dust and some Wink of Stella. I've kept everything else very simple as the image is quite big.

We're giving away a goodie bag to one randomly chosen winner, so why not join in the fun?  The Sweeties have worked their magic and have created the most lovely inspiration cards, so hop over here to take a peek and check out the challenge rules.

On another topic, I've been so proud of the Boy Wonder this week.  We've been following the dreadful events in Paris and around the world, both at home and at school. This has coincided with an announcement locally that we are to have some refugee families in one of the villages not far from us. While I would say that in the main our community has been very welcoming of this news, sadly this has not applied to all.   The BW has taken a stand on Facebook in response to negative comments made by some of his peers, resulting in some not very nice messages and a bit of "unfriending".  The way he has conducted himself over this has been just fabulous - I know he's 16 now, but he's shown such maturity (and tolerance) this week that it's really brought it home to me that my boy is now a young man.  And a thoroughly decent human being.

Have a great weekend and stay cosy!

Hugs
