Challenge 24 Scarves and Mittens....

Scarves and mittens - we're having kittens...
as there are no cards or gift bags or even tiny tags to put on display from the Humbug Hall craft rooms.  Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!
There is plenty of moaning and groaning though and it's not the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present or Future making the blood curdling noises that are echoing down our drafty corridors.
Oh dear no! 
In the far north wing Max has been struck down by a dreadful bug and has spent much of the week doing an impersonation of Moaning Myrtle in the smallest room of the hall.  Oh poor Max - let's hope she will be back to her normal self as soon as possible.
Now as for Ann well she never is quite normal!
This week it's all been happening (you may have heard the screams of excitement) in the Yorkshire wing of Humbug Hall.  Our Ann has become a Grandma.  A first time Grandma!  Now as you can imagine her head is even further up in the clouds than it is normally and that's pretty high!  All she can concentrate on is baby cuddles and kisses and who can blame her.  
So this week Ann is officially on maternity leave, but she will be visiting you all to see your stunning creations and hopefully will be back down to earth next week to play along with everyone.
Isn't it a good thing that our wonderful Guest Designers are so amazingly talented and have provided our challenge with all the inspiration needed for this week's theme of ...
Scarves and Mittens

As usual they have produced some stunning work for us.  We do hope you will click on the links and visit their blogs both to find out more about the cards and also leave them a little love as kind comments are always appreciated.

Wendy - Crafting Purple Crazy 

Christine - Ladylace Crafting Space 

*********************
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 23rd June 2011
 *********************
You are free to create whatever you like ... it doesn't have to be a card ... in fact, show us as many different Christmas Projects as you want to share.  
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.
Tons of love 
Ann and Max xxx
PS: Watch out for Spot Prize announcements next week as there may be one or two to celebrate the birth of little Eli!

    I just adore the DT designs ... brilliant indeed. I am afraid my card has gone a wee bit wrong :-( I posted the finished card .. it is a 'how not to make a Trinitage Card' I need to go back sometime and practice and find out how I print at 100%.
    My Card Can Be Found Here

    Very much hope you have a super day tomorrow Ann :-) xx
