Grunge

I love that word :) G R U N G E, it make me feel a bit Miranda Hart'ish when I say it like that 
ha ha.  I can't do grunge or shabby chic or anything that is supposed to look a tad untidy (if you saw my craft room you wouldn't believe a word of that lol)! However, that is the new challenge over on the Crafting Muskateers blog this month. Can you believe that it's challenge #9 already? It doesn't seem two minutes since we started!

Anyway, this month we are sponsored by the fabulous Visible Image:

" Visible Image is a clear stamp designer and manufacturer based in South Wales, UK, and is run by Mark & Helen. Our stamps are hand poured and hand cut using high quality photopolymer. Every stamp is very deeply etched, 4mm thick, to ensure crisp perfectly stamped images. Our designs include unique characters, brilliant backgrounds that match up perfectly for repeat stamping, original sentiments and verses written by Helen, stunning stamp sets and much more! Mark is a complete perfectionist and puts so much passion and love into every single stamp he designs! We are known and loved for the quality of our stamps, the efficient customer service we provide, and for doing something that’s a little bit different! ".

                                                     

And here is the fantastic prize, worth £16, that you could be winning.

                                    

How cool is that? Don't worry if you don't have a blog of your own as we have a Facebook page too, just pop on over and add your card. Please don't forget to read the rules and if you want to add our Blinkie to your blog then feel free to grab it off our blog.

This is my sorry attempt at "Grunge", I told you I couldn't do it!!

All of the papers, image, Dekromount frame and words are from the Vintage Bloom collection from Aspire Crafts and are all available from the shop, either in person or on line.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you join us in our challenge.

Kanban Thursday

Hi  everyone, sorry about the lack of text again but I scheduled my post again on Sunday and I find it really difficult to waffle in the future tense, no problems with the present though lol I'm behind with everything this week because as well as having a chest infection I have made 100 wedding invitations and reply cards, 30 favours, guest book and seating plan for a local hotel and 60 Mother's day favours for the same hotel for the mums who are going for lunch tomorrow.  That's not an excuse for being late with my DT work though (hangs head in shame - sorry Anice and Kathy) :(

Before I get to my cards (although you've probably seen them already) I would just like to remind everyone I would just like to remind everyone about the 'new' Kanban retail outlet Crafted by You which is also available on line now and the new Kanban Blog Challenge too. This doesn't finish until 3rd April so there is still plenty of time, we would love you to join us :)
