Gingerbread men!

Hi everyone

This is my latest Christmas stamp from Woodware.  It is a different style to the rest of my stamps, so in an attempt to make sure I don't revert back to the norm "safe" stamps, you will probably see a lot more of these characters over the next few weeks!  It was fun to colour and decorate but it was strange assembling something other than a square card.

Items used:

Stamp - Woodware
Coloured with ProMarkers
Paper, ribbon, fun flock, Glamour dust, pearly stuff and shiny stuff are all from my stash
The stars are remnants from a Marianne design die

Happy camping

Hi everyone,

Something a bit different today....

A friend of mine is crazy about a certain type of camper van (and chocolate) so I dug out this stamp but as it is only small it would be lost on the usual 6x6 card that I rely on, so I've gone smaller with a C6 for this card (and must apologise for the picture, I couldn't getting the lighting right!)

Items used:
Stamp - Hobbycraft
Coloured with ProMarkers
Embossing folder -
Dies - Spellbinders and Memory box
Papers, ribbon, Stickles and gem from my stash


I would like to enter the following challenges:

Allsorts challenge - Pink October
Simon Says - Think Pink
In the Pink - Ribbons and/or bows
