January challenge - One for the girls

Happy New Year to you all and a big welcome to our first challenge of 2016.

Our theme this month is...............

********One for the Girls********

Plenty of scope there and we look forward to seeing your take on the theme, usual rules apply, you can enter up to three times, combine with other challenges, use any make of stamp......but can I please remind you.......

We are a stamping challenge so must see hand stamping as the focal element of your artwork, it can be a stamped image/s, large sentiment or quote.........the one exception is Penny Black Stickeroos. But no digi images and entries using them WILL NOT be eligible for prizes. It so upsets us to see names come out in the draw who are not eligible for a prize because they have not read the rules. 

As usual we have some super prizes on offer....................

Penny Black invite you to explore their creative world and see for yourself why their rubber stamps, stickers, beautiful papers for scrapbooking, cardmaking and stamp crafting are everyone’s favourites. Their products are designed to integrate style and colour for creating the best handicraft projects ever. 

Here are the lovely prizes from them this month, some girly fun and another lovely die set (the set is the cloud dies)................
