This week is being sponsored by alota rubber stamps. There isn't just one stamp up for grabs - there's 4!! So don't forget to join in for your chance of winning. Here's the sketch..........

And here's my card:
I didn't know at the time of making it that alota were sponsoring and funny enough i have used a n alota stamp for this card. I think the slug is soooooo cute.

Challenge #6 - Stitching

This weeks challenge over on House Mouse & Friends is stitching. Here's the card i made.
It's not one of my best cards but i seem to be going through a crafters block at the moment and i'm struggling to make anything. Don't suppose it helps having so much going on in real life but i won't bore you with that!!

I do own a sewing machine but after a short while of having it a messed up the tension and haven't touched it since, so on this card it is all faux stitching but because i felt guilty for kinda cheating i stitched in 2 buttons with elasticated ribbon.

Hope you manage to find time and join in with the challenge. x
