Just a little note....Polka Doodles stamps

I feel like I have been MIA with posts this week.

This is mostly due to the fact that I forgot

to photograph my cards this week for orders,

before sending them out....doh!.

So I'll share with you one of the samples

I made using the Polka Doodles new stamps

for the last Create and Craft show.

They are lovely stamps and you can find them at Polka Doodles.

Nikki also sells Promarkers in the shop which

are ideal for colouring in stamped images.

Papers are from the All around and everywhere cd.

A little stickles to sparkle!

Polka Doodles - All about the sentiment!

Ooooo its my turn to set the Polka Doodles challenge this week.

Can you tell the power of it all is rushing to my head.

All about the Sentiment

is my chosen challenge, so a project

with the sentiment as the main focal point.

I have made an altered box using all elements

from the Sundae of Seasons cd

Box is from Ikea and added stickles.

Photographed on some pure white Scottish snow!
