The TV is to blame...honestly - Bunny Zoe Crafts monthly challenge-Autumn love + Friday Sketchers 123

Good morning everyone, now I settled down last night to do loads and loads of commenting but it wasn't my fault honest it was the TV's fault that I didn't do half I wanted to...honestly...first was the Xfactor results and I had to shout at the TV a couple of times because they weren't doing what I wanted, do you do this too or is just me that's loony enough to lol, then was the movie the Da Vinci Code, now I love Dan Brown and have read the book many times, in fact I'm in the middle of his newest one, but didn't want to watch the movie when it came out because I never think movies are as good as the books but this one was ok, not as much detail of course but Tom Hanks (besides from his Templar's pronunciation lol) was excellent, so you see it really wasn't my fault, but I will catch up today...right now today's card is for our new challenge over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts Monthly challenge and huge thanks to everyone who joined in last month...this months theme is Autumn love so get out all those lush coloured papers and rich autumn colours for your images...I chose another of the new releases from Wags and Whiskers this beautiful fairy Rhiannon and teamed her up with Kaisercrafts Peachy Keen papers from the paper pad and the sentiment is from it too, now I glittered her wings but oops the glitter glue made the distress ink run so I have a bit of a streaky finish to my colouring today, I don't think my colouring has been the best since I got back from holiday but I have new paper cause I ran out before and have managed to get some now so it should (fingers crossed) get better, the sketch is from Friday Sketchers...I hope your all going to join in the challenge this month and don't forget my Bunny Zoe's candy too as you don't want to miss the chance to win that lush stamp set...right now I'm off to flat pack heaven and put my wardrobes together, love doing flat pack don't you...whatever your up to have a great day everyone.
