Another reminder.......

Only a few more days left to join the forum at Card Paper Scissors , make a couple of cards to enter the prize challenge and be in with a chance of winning some Autumn Leaves stamps. What are you waiting for?!?! Get over there!

Another reminder.....

Week 2 challenge is up on Card Paper Scissors if you fancy winning some stamps. Will hopefully be updating blog later - had a funny few days with an ill child!

Today's LO and a reminder

This photo goes way back to September 2003 when Jamie was still only 3, bless him!

I used: Dovecraft 8" x 8" paper, K&Co letters to go, Carolee's Creations rub-on ("happy"), Creative Imaginations epoxy sticker ("energy"), black Versafine ink and printed journalling(Chachie font) for the first time in a while!

Don't forget it's now September and the Prize Challenge has started over on Card Paper Scissors. All you need to do is register and then follow the prompts to make some cards. Rules can be found on the post before this one and on the forum.

September Prize Challenge

Would you like to win these Autumn Leaves stamps?

Then read on........... Each Monday in September (apart from the 29th) I'll post a couple of prompts for making a card on Card Paper Scissors - this may be a certain colour to use, a type of embellishment, a certain occasion or even a sketch.

That means 4 weeks with a couple of prompts each week.

To win the stamps all you need to do is make a card for at least 2 of the 4 week prompts and upload them to the relevant thread on the forum by the 30th of September.

Anyone who has entered a card for any 2 of the 4 prompts will be entered into a draw to win the stamps. Cards can be made in any order as long as they are uploaded by the 30th of the month. The draw will take place on the 2nd October and the winner notified shortly after.

Anyone can enter (includes international entries) but you have to be a member of the forum. Get out there and tell your friends! Look forward to seeing you!

Any questions....fire away.
