Clearly Besotted Challenge #2 – Seeing Spots!

Hi all – I know I’m a wee bit late posting this but life has been just a tad chaotic recently with one thing and another.  Nearly every evening (when I do most of my crafting and blogging) has been taken up with school stuff – leaver’s events, music recitals, presentation evenings etc.  I’ll be so glad when they’re all finally finished for the summer on Friday!

So onto the card.  The second Clearly Besotted challenge is up and running over on Steph’s blog – Stamping and Sharing.  The brief this time around is to feature spots so I chose to use three of the sets from latest release –Basic StripesTime to Relax and Shine Bright.  Both are amazing sets with fabulous sentiments and they are scaled to work perfectly together and the stripes are SO useful.

I apologise for the bad quality photo – I was stuck with taking it at night so the lighting was POOR!!

The challenge runs until 23rd July so you still have plenty of time to enter.

Thanks for dropping by,

Teaser Time at Clearly besotted – Shine bright.

Hello, just tearing my self away from Wimbledon to share this card I made featuring one of the new releases coming up for July from Clearly Besotted Stamps.  The set I’ve used here is called Shine Bright  and features some gorgeous lamp shades bases and my favourite – a fabby chandelier image.  There are the usual gorgeous font combinations and sentiments too and as always – matching dies!!!

A New Craft Dash Challenge – my first one as a DT member!!!

Hello again folks – just popping in to share my card for the 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge!  In case you missed it (ahem) I am lucky enough to have been chosen to join the new Craft Dash Design Team – yay!  Check out Paulina’s blog, Pretty Pink Posh to see the announcement and take a look at the other designers blogs – they’re FAB!

So the challenge this time is to feature “Stars” somewhere on your creation.  I have used a Hero Arts background stamp for my star element – can’t wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

Now as luck would have it my very first challenge as a new DT member just so happens to be sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps – my other beloved DT “gig”!!!  How fabulous is that?  It also coincides with the imminent July Release from CBS so I have managed to sneak in a little peak here at one of the AMAZING new stamp sets available on 6th July!
