April challenge

Welcome to our April challenge where this month our theme is....

Anything stamped/option (real) Birds and Animals

When we say 'real' we mean any bird or animal that actually exists be it domestic, farm or wild, as we all know Teddy Bears, Unicorns, Dragons and the like are not real so ineligible for our optional theme.

A reminder that we are a stamping challenge and your entry must be hand stamped as our preference (or digital), a stamped sentiment or small object on an otherwise non stamped card will not be eligible.

We have three fabulous prizes from AALL and Create which reflect our theme: Elegant Peacock and Serengeti stamps and Starry Night stencil.

AALL and Create a place where creativity goes hand in hand with sharing, swapping ideas and friendliness! There's something for everyone: scrapbooking, card making, art journals or mixed media... something to satisfy your every desire!

Our Guest Designer this month is Lorraine who has made this beautiful card to share with us and of course the regular Design Team have come up with some wonderfully inspirational cards as well....

March challenge

Good morning, as we head into Spring in our part of the world there could really only be one theme this month......

**Anything Stamped option Spring is in the Air**

We hope that lots of you will go with the option (see further down which explains every reason why) this month and share lots of lovely fresh Spring flowers and images. As always the focal element of your entry must be hand stamped (or digital), a small stamped sentiment added to an otherwise non stamped piece of work is not eligible and will be deleted.

We have three prizes from Penny Black this month but with a twist, all eligible entries will go into the draw for two prizes, and there will be another draw from entries using the Spring option for the third prize which is the adorable little girl with her Tulips.

Prizes from Penny Black, clear stamp set Sublime, XOXO die and The Bunch stamp set.

Just take a look at all the colourful Spring creations from the Design Team, thank you teamies....
