January challenge

A warm welcome to our first challenge of 2024 with a fresh approach to monthly themes.

This year the Design Team will all be selecting a monthly option to reflect their own individual style of crafting or favourite themes. On the remaining months we will continue as before with a general theme, along with the AG option as previously.

Our rules remain the same and entries must have at least one stamped element to be eligible. We are always on the look out for stamping Guest Designers, those interested in being considered please add GD when entering.

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.

We have a change to selecting Guest Designers in future as often those selected by the DT do not make contact, so in future any seasoned stampers (not digital) 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....
