FIREWORKS

5th of November in the UK is known as Bonfire Night - where for some reason we still celebrate Guy Fawkes trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. How long we will be able to continue with Bonfire Night in this era of Health and Safety we can only guess.

But for this week only you can let your imagination rip with some fireworks as this is our theme this week. I've done a Catherine Wheel - one of my favourite fireworks and it doesn't frighten the life out of my dog like the rockets do! Apparently though the firework was named after an intrument of torture, the breaking wheel, on which, legend has it, St Catherine was martyred. Hmm, doesn't sound so nice now does it!

Have Fun and have a safe 5th November.

BOO SAMPLER!

GUEST DESIGNER - ALI - TIME

A big welcome to our Guest Designer this week - Ali Manning. Her theme this week is Time and here are her inchies:

Here's what Ali says:

I’m a Brit living in the USA with my husband, daughter and a house full of pets. I bought my first copy of Somerset Studio in 2004 and have been hooked on mixed media, stamping and card making ever since. I’m new to inchies but am finding them totally addictive. When I’m not messing around in my studio, I post things on my blogs – Art Ali and New England Stamper. And on Gingersnap Creations, a blog I co-founded with my good friend Sharon early this year.

If you'd like to be a Guest Designer - just drop me an email.

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT KAREN:

Hi everyone! My name is Karen aka MissyK! I started out making cards a few years ago, then fell into ATC’s, Inchies and Twinchies. I find it very relaxing to play with my scissors and glue stick and ‘stuff’….. I’ve enjoyed making lots of friends in Blogland and my hobby brings me happiness every day!I am excited to be the Guest Designer this week and I have chosen the theme of TREES. I do hope lots of you join in - I’ve made extra of mine, so if you’d like one I’d be really happy to send you one, wherever you live if you contact me.
