Having a lazy Sunday and have made a few things to post. I found a Stampin Up challenge blog and having not long ago joined up as a demonstrator I need all the help thats on offer. They are great stamps to work with though and I have already got quite a collection.

I ended up making a card and a bookmark using the colour theme. The stamps sets used are Pocket Silhouttes and Wonderful Words. The card stock is Real Red, Mellow Moss, Barely Banana and the blue one is from my stash. I also used the Boho Blossoms punch for the flowers and some buttons and ribbons from my stash.

Oh please let it be me!!! I love Funky Hand CD's and I love the shows with Anice on Create and Craft. I love the way the papers on the CDs make you think outside the Box. Here are a few cards I would like to be used as consideration for the DT call. Some using Funky Hand papers and others are not but they are all cards I just really love that I'm proud of. I'm up for the challenge.
