Bits and bobs

I have finally finished adding the cards I made using the Vintage Pretty Antiquity set! Here's a sneaky peak at a couple of the cards you can see on the Pretty Antiquitys' page on the left.

 

 
I have also added a page called "Challenge Sue", where I have put cards I have made, using stamps I have been "challenged" to use. For example...

You will also find a lovely Shed set that Faye "Challenged " me to use! Tho with a stamp as versatile as this how can I really class these cards as a "challenge"!

I hope you enjoy looking at these cards as much as I have enjoyed making them.

Till next time, keep creating!
