OLDIE BUT GOODIE CHALLENGE NUMBER 1

Good morning,

Woo, hoo! I am so excited as today sees the launch of a brand new, fortnightly, challenge called "Oldie but a Goodie". The idea is to use stamps that are over six months old. I am sure you all have some of those longing to see ink again!

I am delighted to have been chosen as a member of the DT working with some very talented ladies. Please pop over and see their wonderful creations if you get a moment. We would also love you to take part in the challenge, you never know you could become the proud owner of one of our "Top Three" blinkies. Or perhaps you might be lucky and win the challenge prize.

The theme for the first challenge is "New Beginnings" and I have made a card for a new baby.


I love this sweet little baby bear by Forever Friends called "New Arrival".  I didn't forget to colour the bear, I thought she looks nice like this, left to look like a sketch.

Here's a list of the other ingredients:-

A Patchwork of Papers - Pink by Cuddly Buddly
Cuttlebug Victorian Corners
Gems
Ribbon
Sentiment from Elzybells
Base card from Craftwork Cards.

Hugs, Clare xx

This is gorgeous Clare. I love this card, one of my favourite images. I have used it so many times. May need it again soon. My boss told me just before I left work that her daughter-in-law has been induced and is having a very bad time. Shonah is really stressed and I know how she feels because Catriona had a long difficult time with both Poppy and Oliver. Hope she has good news soon.
