WE LOVE STAMPING OCTOBER

 

Good morning and welcome to our October challenge and this month we have a mood board for you. 

As usual we have some great prizes on offer (see below) as well as the opportunity to be selected as a Guest Designer or be named in our Top 3. You can take you entry in any direction you like and we would love to see the Mood Board reflected in your entries, but if not there is always the Anything Goes option.

Please just remember stamping must be the focal/predominant element of entires, a sentiment or small element such as a Butterfly on an otherwise non stamped creation will not be eligible and deleted. Our rules are here.

Here are the three prizes from Craft Stash, a Stamperia Alice collection of stamps with stickers and DP pad, a Woodware Poinsettia stamp and a Stampendous House Mouse stamp.

 

We really hope you will join us this month and that the Design Team's super creations will offer some encouragement and inspiration....

This is my DT card using some of the elements from the mood board

Obviously I just had to choose a doggy and fortunately I found a clear stamp that I have had for quite awhile it was one of several that I bought from Crafters Companion I stamped him is Versafine Onyx Black then coloured him lightly with Copics I used both paper and card stock depicting the colours from the mood board 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

CRAFTY ANIMALS - A/GOES WITH AN ANIMAL

PEARLY SPARKLES - LETS GO CUTE

CRITTER CRAZY - A/GOES WITH A CRITTER

613 AVENUE - A/GOES OPTION AUTUMN COLOURS 

Many thanks for popping by and leaving me some love, for those who mentioned my Grandson Zacky he did score a goal, but to tell the truth I am not a fan of sport. although it brought me so much joy watching him play. watching youngsters of 5 & 6 playing the game it was hard to keep track of what was actually going on, lol, I haven't got a clue who won, but it was so amusing to watch their antics you can tell they watch football on TV 

Hope your weekend is enjoyable
