Introducing....Anne Campbell

Hey everyone! Thanks so much to those of you who have entered our challenge so far! It's been great checking out your wintery entries.  If you are looking for the current challenge click here

Today I am introducting to you the first of our many talented new DT members!  We are very excited to have her on board and I know that you can expect some great inspiration pieces from her in the coming weeks.

Here is Anne!
Hi I'm Anne and extremely proud to be part of the DT.  I am happily married to a long suffering husband who accepts my craft addiction without question.  We have two grown up children and a fantastic granddaughter who is 12. 

I have been crafting since I was little.  Mum taught me to knit when I was quite young and I used to knit clothes for my dolls.  Late teens saw my friend and I buying material to make a dress on a Wednesday, cutting it out the same night, sewing it on Thursday and wearing it on Friday when we went dancing!  I knitted and sewed for the children when they were small then discovered x-stitch.  I did that for a few years till we had no more space on the walls for pictures! 


In 2001 I had an accident and while recovering decided it was time for more 'me' time.  One of the girls I worked with went to card making class and used to bring her creations in to show me and of course I thought 'I could do that' so, once on my feet again, Saturday afternoons saw me at class and the rest, as they say, is history.  I started my blog in 2007 and have 'grown' since then as there are so many talented people in blogland to learn from.  I'd be delighted if you 
popped in to have a look around my blog called Wicked Designs.
 
 
I hope you will all stop by Anne's blog and leave her some love and make sure you keep checking each week to see Anne's take on the current challenge!
Happy Scrapping Everyone!

YIKES!  So without further adieu, thanks to all that participated in last week's punch/diecut challenge!  Some fantastic entries and a few new DT entries as well!Good luck to everyone that entered.  We will be closing the DT call on the 25th of November, so you still have some time to get in! Just add DT to your challenge entry this week or contact Tammy with a link to your blog and a sample of your work!

Congratulations to Tammylee Newberry, Piali and Joyce.  Please contact Tammy to claim your prize and your blog badge!

This week's challenge is a fun one, and ironically enough, considering I just came back from Las Vegas, an appropriate one.....BRING ON THE BLING! That's right, we want to see your bling this week, as little or as much as you can muster.  Remember, you don't have to use an AIF image to enter but we would love it if you did and you would get an extra entry to win.  You can visit our store for some great images to choose from and also don't forget to check out our freebie section as well.  Mia is adding new ones all the time!  I just saw the cutest little Christmas image of a bird holding a present that I definately want to use for some holiday tags this year!
Now here are the rules for this challenge: Link up your entry using the link at the bottom.  You can enter as many times as you want, as long as you create a new project for each entry and you can combine it with as many other challenges as you like.  All entries need to be uploaded by 11:59EST on Wednesday November 24th to qualify to win this week's image and blinkie for your blog.  If you are uploading from an online gallery please tag it with AIF057 so we can easily find it and leave you some love! 

Here is this week's image

It's called As Cool as Myself and I think it just rocks!  Here are a couple of DT cards to get you started.
