Make It Monday #61

Hi MIM fans, always nice to see you here.

I'm guessing many of you are gearing up for Halloween, carving pumpkins, adding the finishing touch to constumes etc. While not widely celebrated here in Australia it does look like loads of fun. I hope you all have a fabulous time.

There have certainly been an amazing array of Halloween themed creations this past week and it has certainly been fun doing the rounds and checking them all out.

This weeks featured blogger as chosen by random.org from last week's entries is..

Crafty Amy

with this fabulous card

I'm loving this beautiful Mermaid and Amy has done a stunning job of bringing her to life with her fabulous colouring.

Amy's blog is wonderful source of inspiration and I do hope you hop on over and say hi.

Our winning commenter from last week is

This week we are sponsored by the lovely Di over at

A little background from Di

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Di is generously offering the winner 5 Digis of their choice

To be in with a chance to win this week's fab prize all you need to do is leave a comment for one or more of the entries this week and let them know you saw their creation on Make It Monday. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning!
