One stopcraft challenge

Hello, just a quick little post tonight, as i have been hopping around in blog land i discovered one stop craft challenge has a fab blog hop going, so here is my card for the challenge which is any thing goes.

My papers, (Penelope and Percy) were new ones to me which suited the challenge over on Do crafts, which was use a Penny Black image and something new, oh and make it a Xmas card, which is perfect for me as i have not done many at all, so this helps me on my way a little to the many i have to make!! lol. I also followed Loretta's sketch on DC.
Other blog challenges are

Fussy and fancy.....winter wonderland

Crafty Pad.......christmas

Crafty Catz DT challenge card

Hiya Yep you guessed it, it's that time again FRIDAY....time for new challenge at Crafty Catz , we have a "Halloween theme" set by our lovely Dianne.

We also have a fab prize from Crafty Ribbons this beautiful box of Breast cancer awareness box of ribbons, how gorgeous do these look!!

My card this week has been made with all digital images which i found on my hop around blog land, with the help of Free digital stamps blog
The bat is hanging from some acetate, and the mummy is on one of those springy things, which makes him shake really well, which i think is brill.
