One Stop Craft Challenge 39

This week over at the One Stop Craft Challenge it is Nikki's turn to set the challenge and she has chosen the great theme...

'Christmas in July'

I have done my card using a jolly nation image as my centre piece.

It seems a bit strange doing Christmas cards in July but hey that's the whole point of the challenge and I know alot of you are very organized and making a start already.

There is loads of inspiration from our design team so be sure to pop over to the challenge for details of how to enter.

I am pleased to say we have a relocation sale on at the moment...

so there is 25% OFF EVERTHING at our online shop and as always free uk postage on orders over £7.50

We are moving down south, but not shutting shop. We have out grown where we work and need more space which we have found at last. It all seems a bit off a rush now, especially after all the time we have spent looking for somewhere, but hey I love a challenge, lol.

I hope you all have a great weekend and as always many thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.

I hope everyone is well, I have another quick one this week, having just returned from house hunting again (hopefully we have found something suitable). The challenge set by Maggie has the theme, good sense of humour. I have used a stamp from Creative Expressions Murray & Ethel stamp range. I did it with a male theme as I always struggle doing men cards, lol.

Be sure to visit the challenge blog for details of prize and how to enter. As always there is plenty of inspiration from our design team.

One Stop Craft Challenge

Hi all, so sorry I have not been blogging for a while but I have been away house hunting. I don't like missing challenges so I have done this card for Sharon's 'Fruity Colours' challenge. (although it is a bit late). I searched high and low for some fruit to add but couldn't find any, so instead I have used orange and lemon colours on the card.

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine, happy crafting.
