Brand new challenge at Little Claire's Designs

Fantastic news!! Little Claire's Designs are holding their first blog challenge. The theme is 'Anything Goes' which is a great way to get the ball rolling.

Here is my DT card:

I used 'Sam' and coloured him with Distress inks. It is such a cute image!

I used my nesties to cut out the image....

and added background paper and sentiment from The Cutting Cafe.

The challenge is on for another 2 weeks, so go on, give it a go. Remember, you don't have to use a Little Claire stamp but it would be nice to see one on your card.

Wine bottle shaped card

Here's a card I have just made for my neighbour's 40th wedding anniversary. I am very pleased with the result as, after a lot of 'faffing' around, I decided to go with the 'less is more' approach.

The wine bottle shaped card is from The Cutting Cafe, it was very easy to use and even comes with its own envelope!

Hope you like it!
