A winner and a new Challenge….
Hi everyone, It has been great to get your feedback about my little presentation at the Regionals. So thanks so much for the encouragement, it is really appreciated!
Now since I am the Challenge co-ordinator on the Demo forum, I get to pick the winner. Last weeks Challenge was to fall in love again with a stamp set, and cardstock colour that you haven’t used in a long time, like a year. It was so great to see some good old sets used!
Again it has been hard to pick, but I have chosed the following card from the very lovely Nikki Stalker (also a mum to 4!)
Here is Nikki’s beautiful card. I love how she has added that little bit of paper piercing around the frame, and the circluar greeting on the bottom right hand corner. And it is great to see Heartfelt Thanks stamp set. It is really a beautiful set, just one that we have all over done I think 
You can see more of her beautiful work at www.nicolestalker.blogspot.com
Now there were still some other entries that were lovely too, so I will list them and you can go check them out on their blogs.

Now for the new Challenge this week! Since I have been showing you how to case the catty successfully, I have decided to get you to work with it yourself. I have chosen the Sketch from page 85 of the Australian Idea Book & Catalogue, and this is the image here (not the flashest photo because I have taken a photo of the catty)
I have worked with this sketch and here is what I have come up with:
Okay so for this card I have used Bayou cardstock for the base which I stamped with the swirls from the Baroque Motifs stamp set. I added strips of So saffron, Soft sky cardstock and a strip from the LeJardin DS paper pack. Istamped the squares up using the Carte Postale stamp set, and punched out the centres of the Bayou ones placing a saffron brad in the centre of the flower and popping up with a dimensional. Lastly I added the greeting from the Baroque Motifs stamp set in whisper white craft ink.
This card I made using the Priceless stamp set with the So swirly roller. The cardstock colours are Purely pomegranite, Regal rose, and Pumpkin pie. I also added a strip of Prints DS paper in Pumpkin pie. I have stamped the little flowers, cut them out and blinged them up with glitter and a Rhinestone brad. Lastly I added the hat pin with two white pearls, and the greeting once again with white ink.
Then last of all I made this bright fun card using the Wild about you stamp set . I have used Real red, Tempting turquiose, and Pumpkin pie for the cardstock. I randomly stamped Wild about you with black ink across the real red base cardstock. I then also added a strip of the Real red strip ribbon. I stamped up the animals and punched them out with my square punches and mounted them with dimensionals.
See how you can use one sketch and get 3 totally different looks, and too easy as well. I hope you have fun with this one and remember to link your card if you want to play along.
I look forward to seeing your beautiful creations!
Have a great weekend
