  • Madfrog - sorry to hear your news, sending you hugs. It would've been good to meet up with you too, like the look of your stash. x

    Marg - Have you tried Papersoft? It's really easy to use and just adds the slightest hint of colour to break up the edge. I have to agree with The-Wife about the chalk inks they are gorgeous.

    snipped:( Heres a direct link to the challenge. It ends tomorrow .

    Hi Choccy,

    does it have to be a card that you enter and use a stamp into this challenge? It is just that I made another kitchen organiser last night using these colours and wondered if I could enter that, but it doesn't have an image on it?

    Did you get a parcel from me last week. Sorry if you have said before, haven't managed to catch up on this thread much this week.

    Thanks x
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
