About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

Ching-Chou Kuik January Facebook Challenge - New Year or New Beginnings or New Stash

Ching-Chou Kuik January Facebook Challenge - New Year or New Beginnings or New Stash
https://www.facebook.com/groups/chingchoukuikdigitalstamps/

I was lucky to be one of the top two winners for the December facebook challenge and won 3 new digi stamps.  This card is made with one of them.

My eyes are bad so I printed the Ching-Chou Kuik digi stamp Blue Sea Illusion large.  Coloured it with markers and gel pens, then scanned it and reduced it down to fit on my card.
Used paper from We are 3 Warm Sand paper set
Ribbons from Scrap Graphics

I followed sketch 439 at Try Stampin' or not on Tuesday so I would like to add my card to that challenge
