We have another challenge up and running today at Dare U 2 Digi Stamp and this time around the theme is "anything goes" so as long as you use a digi image on your card or project then that is good with us.

On my card this week I have used one of the fabulous images from Meljen designs - I just love these designs from Melissa. The papers are all by Papermania and the flowers are by prima.

We have some more gorgeous colours for you to play with this week at Copics Colour Challenge.
We are sponsored this week by Crafts U Love and they have offered a fabulous prize of 3 CC designs stamps to one lucky winner - you can read all about it Here . Such a fab prize - I do so love CC Designs stamps.


Spookily enough, before I knew what this week's sponsore prize was, I had decided to use a CC Designs image on my card for this week's challenge. This one is from the Swiss Pixies range, the papers are all from Papermania as is the sentiment and the flowers are by prima. The sketch is the current one at Anyone for Anya where they have now opened the challenge up to CC Designs stamps as well at Greetings Farm ones.


I do hope that you have lots of fun with these gorgeous colours.

Dare U 2 Digi Stamp - challenge #31 - Use your punches

I have scheduled this post as I am away in Spain at the moment and have not internet access so I only hope that it has happened at the right time!. Out challenge this week is to use your punches and on my card here I have used a border punch for the top and bottom borders and have also used a couple of flower punches for the embellishement. This gorgeous image is one that I bought a couple of weeks ago from Karen's Doodles, and she is just so gorgeous - I just love the expression on her face. The papers are all from a forever friends pad that sadly is getting used up all too fast.


The sketch that I have followed is the one at Create 4 fun challenge at the moment and this is one that I will use again as it was really quick, but the effect is great.


Have a great weekend.

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Hearts with ICS Sketch #24

I have combined 2 challenges with this card. I have used Dawn's sketch from ICS and this week's challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar is to have hearts somewhere on your card. Well worth checking out both these challenges this week to see some beautiful cards from the DTs and also to read about the prizes on offer.

I have used one of these really cute fairies from CC Designs which has been sitting waiting to be inked up for ages. The papers are by Papermania - I have used these lots of time and they really are all my favourite colours combined in one great little collection. Flowers are also by papermania and the sentiments are from Claire Curds Signature Range. The little cat on the inside is one half of a Sugar Nellie Duda Daze stamp

For the first time in ages I have managed to get the inside of this card done and have carried the same paper range through from the outside. The little fairland stamp was one that came free with a magazine some time ago - craft stamper I think.

Have a great week and happy crafting.
