Double Post



Our first challenge for 2026 over at
has started and the theme is
Beginning with B/anything goes.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs
so be sure and join us.

I went with a Bookmark for my B as
I had made two of these for my Grandsons
who are both avid readers.
I used stamps from Card-io called Biscuit Buddies
and the papers are from The Creepsville
Gazette, IndigoBlu.

I punched some tiny pages from my dictionary
to turn into mini books for the mice to read.
The bookmarkers are actually wooden ones
which I covered with the papers,
back and front then stamped directly
over the top.
The sentiment is from an old HD book
of quotes. I finished them off with
some wool.

I would like to enter these into

Our new challenge has started over at
and the theme is 
ALL THINGS NEW/anything goes

We have a great prize up for grabs here too

I went with a Happy New Year card and have
used an old SU set called
Beautiful Balloons.
I stamped them in different coloured inks
and also did some stamping in-between
the balloons.
I finished with the Happy New Year sentiment
from Itty Bitty Birthdays (SU).
layered onto matching card
and added some tulle with a star brad.

I would like to enter this into
