E for Elf

Thank you for joining in with last week's challenge, and don't forget to pop back later to find out who's won the Simon Says Stamp voucher and Samantha's top 3.


Thank you to our fab guest Designer Jane ... her cards have been gorgeous.


On to this week's challenge .. we are up to E and for this challenge we would like you to use elves or fairy folk (we are being flexible and allowing WOJ gnomes, and basically anything fairy folk like and Christmasy!) on your card, and the colour combination red and green.


We are being sponsored by our lovely DT member Lacey and her shop Stamp and Create, and you can win the gorgeous Whiff of Joy stamp Whiff in Stocking that Samantha has used.

Stamp and Create is an on-line store carrying many popular brands of stamps, paper, and embellishments including: Wags ‘n Whiskers Rubber Stamps, High Hopes Stamps, Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, Whiff of Joy, Stampavie, Penny Black, The Greeting Farm, Basic Grey, 7 Gypsies, Shimmerz, Nestabilities (always 20% off!!), lace, charms and more!! Make sure to check out the Christmas section a well.

I am always adding new items to the store…so check it out at www.stampandcreate.com

Lacey has supplied some of the DT with some gorgeous ribbons and charms to use on their cards.

Woooo hoooo!!
just wish I could win it myself! te hhehee!

Just thought I would post this little update today - 17.02.10

I have heard from a few people that they do not have a stamp they could use for D for Decoration,

you don't have to use a stamp or just make your project a card!

thinking outside of the box is encouraged

here are a couple of Decoration made by our very own Helen!

and this little one I (Samantha) made a couple of years ago

So, spread the word and we look forward to seeing your projects this time!

Your project can be a anything you like and to help inspire you here are the DT projects.

Jane GD
