December challenge

Good morning to you all, it's time for our December challenge and the last of 2023 which is a very sobering thought, the year seems to have gone so quickly.

Our theme for this month is....

Winter Flowers and/or Foliage

or Anything Goes

The occasion can be whatever you please and of course at least one stamped element on your entries.

A change to selecting Guest Designers as often those selected by the DT do not make contact, so in future anyone interested in being considered for a GDT spot should add GD against their name when entering. We will then select a Guest Designer from those entries and the Design Team will of course still select their Top 3.

Three prizes this month come from AALL and Create, a DL floral border stamp with pack of Sharp Tongues sentiments, an A 5 stamp set and a pair of Miss Dee stamps

Lots of inspiration from the Design Team who have done a sterling job in 2023 my thanks to each of you, they would love a visit from you to show how much you appreciate their efforts....

We are so pleased to welcome Mari as our Guest Designer this month, thank you for joining us and sharing your pretty Winter card....

November challenge

Welcome to our November challenge, but before I tell you about that, there are some changes to our entry requirements. Although we love stamping, with so many new products and techniques available to crafters we want to be more inclusive of your different styles.

So with immediate effect we have relaxed our rules and will now require you to have 'At least one stamped element on the front of entries'. Of course if you are a seasoned stamper then we will still love seeing your fully stamped creations and the Design Team will continue to share their love of stamping.

Now to tell you about our challenge this month, we would love to see all sorts of

Christmas Characters

From Gnomes to Robins, Santa to Angels and many more familiar to us at this time of year. The Anything Goes option is always available to those who prefer.
