September challenge - Anything goes


A very good morning and welcome to our September challenge where this months theme couldn't be any simpler, it's.....................

********Anything Goes********

Usual rules apply, you can enter up to three times, combine with other challenges, use any make of stamp......but can I please remind you.......

We are a stamping challenge so must see hand stamping as the focal element of your artwork, it can be a stamped image/s, large sentiment or quote.........the one exception is Penny Black Stickeroos. But no digi images and entries using them WILL NOT be eligible for prizes. It so upsets us to see names come out in the draw who are not eligible for a prize because they have not read the rules. 

As usual we have lots of lovely prizes to be won from our very generous sponsors to whom we are always so grateful for their continues support.


Penny Black invite you to explore their creative world and see for yourself why their rubber stamps, stickers, beautiful papers for scrapbooking, cardmaking and stamp crafting are everyone’s favourites. Their products are designed to integrate style and colour for creating the best handicraft projects. If you would like to be one of the first to hear about new products from Penny Black please click here to join the free club, plus their Facebook is full of activity and news.

Three super prizes from them, two stamps and some sheets of stickeroos...................

Stix 2 is the home of all your adhesive needs and much more as well and the prize is some adhesive essentials that we all use in our daily crafting.



Sizzix, there's no bigger or better place for craft materials, custom dies and machines that can die-cut, emboss and texturize many materials, including cardstock, paper, construction paper, fabric, faux fur, felt and foil plus much more. The prize is this pretty set of embossing folders.

We have two Guest Designers this month, Karen selcted from last month's entries and she has made this really pretty easel card card to share with us all..........................


And Helene, my fellow DT over at our sister challenge Allsorts who has created this beauty, it seems both our GDT's are in pink mode this month........................
