Challenges 4 Everybody

Well its time for a new challenge over at Challenges 4 Everybody We  have as our sponsor this week  Bugaboo stamps  If you link up with your entry and you are randomly picked, you get to pick 7 free digis of your choice. So come on and join in the fun as always, its Anything goes.. We also have some new Design Team members starting for the very first time this week so don't forget to pop into there blogs and say hi..
With this card I used the lovely Flower-Block-Names--Violet.  It is such a pretty image and I so love bugaboos flowers, they are just so much fun to work with..
So here is my card...

Well this was quite an eventful card. I was doing the embossing for the background of my card and popped the paper and the embossing folder in my bigshot. I then went to wind the handle and a HUGE huntsman spider crawled out of it.. Well you can imagine my reaction it was nearly on my hand.. So don't think the plastic slides where ever meant for catching spiders but the where very useful for scooping him up and chucking him outside.. I just wish I had of taken a photo..
Here is a video so you can see how big he was.. Mine was about 3 inches big so just scared me just a little...  Still a bit jittery when I used my bigshot today don't think I will ever just wind the handle and not think of the spider..

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges..
Sweet stampin challenge blog Embossing
My time to craft challenge Embossing

    So pretty! I love the pop of violet against the white.
    I do not, however, love that spider. Eek! (Not a fan of bugs!) Glad you were able to get him scooped up and outside where he belongs!

    Great bold colours and blocking. I would have screamed for quite a few minutes and ran out of the house if I saw a spider like that! Oh my Goodness!! I saw this on MIM

    First, if I found a spider that big, I would have to move out of the house! LOL

    I like the colors and how you did the layout of your card. The little tags are adorable.

    Your card caught my eye on MIM. Thanks, for sharing!

    Hi honey, I saw your card on Make It Monday and had to pop over to take a closer look. The embossing is the perfect backing for this pretty card.

    Yuk, I don't like huntsman spiders one little bit. I don't blame you for being a tiny bit shaky, LOL. It certainly would have made a mess if you'd squashed him in the machine!!!
    LOL, Back to your card! It's delightful, love the image and fab layout and bright colours. Thanks for linking up with Make It Monday this week.
    Remember, to be in the running to win the prize from our sponsor this week just leave a comment for another entry. Be sure to mention you saw them on Make It Monday. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning!
    Hugs,
    Sandy
