September challenge

We're back with a new challenge and this time Helen has selected the theme which is....

......CAS......
or Anything Goes

This always seems to be a theme some of us struggle with, I know I do, so if your one of those maybe now is the perfect time to give it a go, but if not there's always the Anything Goes option. 

You can enter three times but please remember we must see stamping on the front of your entry and details/make of stamps and focal products used must be included in your post to be eligible.


Two prizes of stamps from Grafton Crafts, a well stocked bricks and mortar and on line shop offering fee p&p on all orders over £15.

Just take a look at the super creations from the Design Team which we hope will inspire you to come and join us....


You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
