Stampin for the weekend Recipe and AFA DT call

Hiya folks how are we all?! Well I managed to get the cake finished (yay) will post a piccy of that one tomorrow whilst I am off to work! I just hope that those who are snowed in are keeping warm right now!
I was very sad when the Pocket full of posies blog closed, as I loved being part of the florally obsessed team but happily Sandie and Jan asked me to join them over at the stampin for the weekend team (extra whoop!) Our team is split into 2 and I am on Team B and it is actually Team A's turn this fortnight but I just couldn't resist joining in with the challenge lol!
We have a recipe for you which is to use 2 circles, 2 squares, buttons and bling. We are sponsored this wk by the fabulous Simon says stamp so if that isn't reason enough to join in I don't know what is!!
I have counted my square card as one of my squares, along with my extra square dp and both my image and sentiment are circled.

My digi papers are nitwits and pink petticoat, my sentiment is one from Pink Gem designs, my image is CC designs, my lace and flowers are wild orchids, my snowflakes have been cut with Marianne D's in glitter cardstock and my buttons are from stash.

I have masked my little image and created a background of distress ink with silver embossed snowflakes, I am quite pleased with the effect! I have sparkled everything within an inch of it's life, including my image's wings and hat and she is coloured with prismas.
I also wanted to mention the Anyone for Anya DT call. Anyone who has been following my blog for a while will know I absolutely adore CC designs and greeting farm stamps and have tonnes (seriously too many) of them, so I was excited to see that AFA were having a DT call! I haven't used many of my CC's or TGF stamps of recent and have stacks not even inked yet, hence I need a good excuse to get back into them!!
I would be thrilled to be part of the AFA DT so am hoping this little cutie may help pave the way!
Now for my challenge entries lol Lexis creations blue and silver, City crafter blue xmas, Top tip tues anything goes, All that scraps snowflakes, Cute card thurs blues, Dutch dare xmas, Sarah Hurley masking, Digi doodle shops best let it snow, Simple doodles buttons, crafty calendar winter snowflakes and stamp it crazy xmas challenge.

Hugs to everyone
