Week 149 - Bingo!!

Good Morning My Blog friends

Here's hoping that you are all really well and are looking forward to the Easter Weekend.  I am so pleased it is here so I can finally eat some CHOCOLATE!!!!  40 days didnt seem to be that long when I decided to give it up for Lent.  We always gave something up when we were children and it didnt seem this bad then!! 

Anyway, less about chocolate and more about this weeks post!  Well week 149 at the Allsorts Challenge has been chosen by our lovely Brenda and is Bingo!  This is the first time that I have taken part in a challenge with this title and what a great idea.  Pop over to the Allsorts Blog to have a look at the full bingo chart and have a go yourself,  just chose a line and base your project around each of the items in the line. This is what I chose to do:


The items that I needed to include were Stripes, pearls and pink.
I was pulled back to the gorgeous House Mouse stamps too. This is the
Cosy Toes set which is in the Allsorts range from Joanna Sheen.
 I have coloured all the images using promarkers and edged each circle with some Spun Sugar DI.  Adding a little glitter on the edges makes is very girly.
I think my favourite image is the baby mouse in the walnut shell, this makes me smile everytime.
The papers are from my stash but fitted the part for the stripes! There are some little pearls which finishes the list off nicely.
The DT have created some fabulous ideas using the Bingo grid pop over to the Allsorts Challenge Blog and have a peep.
If you have time between eating chocolate (sorry there I go again!!)  pop a comment on the blog - you know they are always appreciated.
I would like to wish you all a lovely Easter and hope that you are able to spend time with family and friends at some point.
Finally, keep an eye on the blog this week as I am posting some BLOG CANDY!!!! to celebrate reaching 300 followers.
Bye for now
Jo xx

    I'm having real problems seeing your card as the sidebar element are all across it, but lucky I've already seen it and know how very pretty it is.

    Have a lovely Easter and enjoy your chocolate indulgence, you deserve it.
