No Stamping!!

Over on my Sassy Crafts blog this weeks challenge set for the DT is to produce a project with NO STAMPING!!! Oh my- i must be mad setting such a challenge as these days all i ever seem to do is stamp!

Well not this time! I managed to make a card with no stamps in sight. I'm not saying it was easy as i kept reaching for my stamps, but managed to resist.

Here's the card i made:

Sassy Crafts recipe card

Over on my Sassy Crafts blog i set the DT a challenge to make a craft project using the following recipe:

1 scalloped edge
2 flowers
1 piece of ribbon
2 brads
1 circle
2 squares

Here's my card which despite having flowers in the recipe i tried to make a masculine card - not sure if i like it or not!! May just have another play with this stamp later.

Distressed House Mouse

Over on my Sassy Crafts blog i have challenged the DT to make projects which are 'distressed'. I couldn't very well ask them to do it and not myself so here's a card with a distressed feel.

It also fits in with a recipe challenge over on just bex forum.


I couldn't find any plain card to match so i ended up using a bit of card from the pack of a paper pad!! It was the exact colour i needed.....lol. To get the distressed look i have inked the edges and torn the edge of the brown card. I chose the browny and blue paper as that itself has a kind of distressed feel to it.
