New Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge - No Balls Allowed

A new challenge has started today on the Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge blog and this week our theme is 'no balls allowed'.  That means we're looking for sports based cards but not sports which involve balls so no football, rugby, tennis etc.  You can find all the details here on the challenge blog.

For my card I've used a digi stamp called 'Boy Skiing' from LeeHIllustrations - you can it here on Etsy.  The sentiment I've used is from Lili of the Valley and the papers are from Craft Creations.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - 'young boy'
Top Tip Tuesday - 'non traditional Christmas colours' (kraft and pale blue)

Hedgehog ATCs

Today I'm sharing some ATCs I made recently using one of my favourite Little Claire stamps, 'Hedgehogs in Squares' which you can find here on their website.

I stamped the whole stamp and then chose three of the little images, cut them out and coloured with Promarkers.  I've used kraft card of the base and as a layer round the little pictures and then finished them off with some paper flowers and gems.
