Words - Craftymessers Challenge - 11 August 2012



Hi all and welcome to my crafty blog.

Today I am blogging my DT card for the Craftymessers Challenge Blog newest challenge starting today Saturday 11th. The theme chosen by teamie Judie is simply'WORDS'.

We were to create a DT project reflecting only words as the main feature of the piece and this is my contribution.  I do like this stamp from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous range and I think the sentiment speaks to all of us crafters.


Our Sponsor for our challenge this time is....Crimson Cloud they are offering our winner 3 pkts of Die Cuts of your choice.
"Crimsoncloud.co.uk is owned by Linda and Melanie, and is a mother/daughter venture - a way to indulge their joint passion of cardmaking and papercrafting.
