Vintage inspiration


Good morning, time for our mid month inspiration post following Lynn's Vintage theme along with the usual Anything Goes option.

We also want to let you know that we are having a bit of a celebration in June, although the name changed along the way the challenge blog (and some of the DT) has been going for 15 years. So as a way of thanking our entrants, many who have been joining in since day one, we will have a bumper prize bundle. Please help us spread the word by sharing the logo above on your own blogs.

Here is our inspiration starting with Lynn who chose this months theme and our May Guest Designer Denise with another beautiful Vintage card

Taking a break

May challenge

Good morning everyone, the first Sunday in the month means we have a new challenge for you, it's a theme chosen by DT Lynn who you can read a bit more about further down....

Vintage
(or Anything Goes option)

It's a theme that say's different things to each of us so we would love to see your takes on Vintage creations, or you can always fall back on the Anything Goes option. As always you can enter three times but there must be at least one stamped element on the front of entires to be eligible.

Two prizes, the first from Lisa Horton Crafts, coordinating embossing folder, die and stencil set and two dies from Highlight Crafts


We have news as well, we are pleased to introduce Denise as this months Guest Designer and on top of that we have two new full time Design Team members Emma and Karen, please join us in welcoming all three. And of course this means we have a bumper display of inspiration.

A little bit about Lynn's crafting journey:

My name is Lynn (called Linby in blogland) I've been on the DT since November 2011. I've always loved fashion and although the theme of vintage is not strictly about fashion, it is one of the elements that I personally favour. I especially love the the Art Deco period. Of course vintage is typically defined as being at least 20 years old but less than 100 years old so a wide period of time.

I realised the other day that many of my stamps are vintage! One had disintegrated and I realised I had bought it in the early 1990's. That is how long I have been stamping for, so I suppose I am also a vintage stamper lol!


You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
