just wish I could win it myself! te hhehee!

Just thought I would post this little update today - 17.02.10
I have heard from a few people that they do not have a stamp they could use for D for Decoration,
you don't have to use a stamp or just make your project a card!
thinking outside of the box is encouraged
here are a couple of Decoration made by our very own Helen!
and this little one I (Samantha) made a couple of years ago


So, spread the word and we look forward to seeing your projects this time!
Your project can be a anything you like and to help inspire you here are the DT projects.

We are really please Jane has joined us for the next 2 challenges.
She has made this really cute card!
I was gonna say what a cracking card! No pun intended (crackling) haha.
I love it well done Jane!
