January - Coffee and Cream

Good  Morning, we wish you all a Happy 2017 and hope you are ready for our new challenge which this month is................

********Coffee and Cream********

As always your entries can be cards, mixed media, scrapbook layouts or any other hand crated creation, all we ask is that you work reflects either the colours of this months theme or the coffee and cream itself.

But please remember we are a stamping challenge so must see a stamped image, sentiment or quote as the focal element of your artwork. You can enter up to three creations but please note: if we do not comment on your entry it will be because it does not follow the theme, qualify under our rules, or because we are asked to sign in or provide additional data to comment. We do not want to be rude but we do want to be fair to those who do follow the rules.

Our prize this month is a mixed media bundle of goodies.

We are thrilled to welcome Catherine as our Guest Designer this month, what a super card she has created for us as well..........

Pinky's 'go to' stamp

Good morning to you all, hope your Christmas plans are coming together, it's rather scary that it seems so long coming and now it's only day's away.

This months it's Pink's turn to share her 'go to' stamps and no surprise to us that it is a wedding image, she does that theme so well, so over to her......................

"My 'go to' stamp was going to have to be either baby or wedding related as I seem to make a lot of those cards. So I decided to go with wedding. I love this stamp from Stamping Bella called Uptown Couple Brett and Brenda.

I love the happy feel it has, I love the frills on her dress, and bonus it is very easy and quick to colour up and cut out!!

Thank you so much Pinky.
