Happy New Year!
It's time for the January Sir Stampalot Challenge and to celebrate the New Year we are also hosting a blog hop.
Firstly, the challenge!
The theme for this month's challenge is:-
"A WINTER'S TALE"
I have used my lovely "Large Canvas Stripes" background stamp by Hero Arts and the gorgeous "Fantasy" tree from Penny Black. I stamped in Versamark "Majestic Blue" and heat embossing using Kaleidescope embossing powder, I love this stuff as it sparkles in so many colours. The sentiment is from the "Best Yet" set by Stampin' Up. I used a white gel pen for the snowflakes.
As usual, our challenge will run for the month of January and there will be a fabulous suprise prize from Sir Stampalot for the winner.
Now onto the blog hop!
This going to be such fun and with lots prizes to be won. It starts today and will finish at midnight BST on 10th January.
For those of you who have never joined in a Hop before this is what you need to do:
1) Start at the Sir Stampalot challenge blog.
2) Visit all DT blogs.
3) Leave a comment on each blog.
4) Collect a letter clue from each blog.
5) Use those letters along with the ones already given in the grid below to make two words and mail your answer to Brenda at brenda@ibas.co.uk
