Just add your name to the inlink link you don’t need a blog or a url to enter.

I’d love it if you would spread the word, add it to facebook, twitter, forums etc.

It will close on Tuesday at midnight and I will draw a winner on Wednesday.

A New Company–Sweet Stamp Shop

Well it is for me, I was asked if I would like to do a guest spot for a Sweet Stamping company and I leapt at the chance to play.

So Lets Chat stamp set by Sweet Stamp Shop

So easy to use and stamps so cleanly. I kept this one quite retro.

Of course I couldn’t resist a bit of 3d work with it.

Lighting the Way

The Garden lamp clear polymer stamp by Just Inklined 

Garden Lamp1

I have a lamp very much like this one, our garden path is so dark that we need it for those dark nights. I coloured this stamp with Flexmarkers  by Letraset 

I used K & Co designer papers and matting and layering.

Garden Lamp2

Brilliant for an everyday card, Sympathy, Thank you, Birthday and even Christmas if you add some snow to the top of the lamp.
