Thursday Theme Winner …

 

 

 

Good afternoon bloggers, just a quick post from me to announce the winner of our Thursday Theme draw

Not sure what happened with the linky and why the names weren’t displayed on the blog, they were listed on the linky here and I did a random draw from 1-94

 

 

 

 

The winner was number 28 and that is you…

Marianne

 

 

Well done Marianne, email me your address and I’ll get your stamp sent out (it will be Tuesday now as we’re closed for the bank holiday)

Have a lovely weekend everyone whatever you’re doing x

 

Put Your Feet Up

 

 

 

Morning all!

We haven’t had a boys card for a while so I thought I’d share this one today using one of the new Vintage Boy stamps

This is by our clever Gretha and the image is called Put Your Feet Up…

 

 

 

This has been very popular and I’m not surprised   …isn’t it perfect for men and boys of all ages!

I’ll announce our Thursday Theme winner later so make sure you pop back

Enjoy your day!

 

Thursday Theme …Tea!

 

Good morning everyone, time for another one of our Theme Thursdays!

We had cake last week, so I thought it only fitting that this week the theme is  …

 

TEA

As always we’ll have a little prize draw so if you’d like to be in the draw to win a stamp then leave your name in the linky at the bottom of the post

***

This week I’ve done it a bit differently, I’ve chosen a stamp and then some cards all made using that same image which are all very different …

 

 

This little cutie is Time For A Cuppa, one of my favourite stamps as (apart from being really sweet!!)  it can be used for so many occasions

 

Hope you like them,  don’t forget to leave your name below and I’ll draw a winner tomorrow who’ll get this lovely stamp


....sorry everyone, just noticed that the names entered in the linky are not showing, they are all there but I don't want to change it in case I lose them. Just enter your details as usual and I'll still announce the winner tomorrow
 

 

 

 

Competition Winner …

 

 

 

Good morning crafters, I have the second of our 9th birthday card competition winners to introduce to you today…
