Challenge 189 - Scottish Themed

Well, good morning everyone.... who thought today was Wednesday not Thursday? answers on postcard please... but no prizes for guessing that I totally forgot to schedule my posting for today.... duh....
Many thanks for your lovely entries last week... all super as always. Also welcome to the newbies... we are delighted you could join us.
This week in honour of Scotland, who have adopted both my husband and myself, we have a Scottish theme. It was Burns Night last night - traditionally celebrated by eating neeps and tatties...and haggis....ahhh not for me thanks. I still prefer to stick to boring old English food... sorry Scotland.
So please add anything Scottish to your creation and we will pop over and check it out - that should give you plenty of scope, pipers dogs, thistles, deer, whisky, mountains...you get the picture.


As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.
Hope you also like the new look blog.... been messing as you do... lol


Now get a cuppa and check out the DT ladies projects... all so different but still related to Scotland.
Make sure you read Caroline's verse and if that does not put you off Haggis nothing will lol.
