Addicted to Stamps Challenge Week 1
I was introduced to yet another challenge blog, mainly because two of my friends are on the design team - it is called Addicted to Stamps and as well as a weekly card challenge, they are doing a monthly scrapbook one. If you follow the link you can see what they are all about and maybe join in. For the first week they have asked us to 'make your mark' - using markers to colour an image being the general idea. In my trawl through the bits boxes I came across a stray printed digi stamp of Magnum (from Ladybug Crafts) so have coloured him and his friend Lily with Copics and made a cheery get well card. Background paper is from a pad which has lost the cover (had it for ages) and I added a Memory Box diecut border, some corners punched from scraps and a little button from a pack of cat and dog themed ones which I bought some years ago. The little faux brads in the corners are bits of the 'waste' left over from cutting the border - don't laught Anne!!! As this card incorporates some neglected items it should also qualify for Judith's Forgotten Friday challenge so two for the price of one this week.

I've managed to 'cure' myself - ahem, most well some of the time - of using up waste however there is a tray that needs a rummage I think.................. can't quite recall what has got dumped there during the week.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow - it looks as if you're doing brilliantly with those scraps & I love that animal button.
