Challenge 8 - Stamp Something

Afternoon everyone

Thanks to all the entrants in the last Challenge! We had some amazing creations form you all, you can find the Random.org winner and Top 3 here!

Firstly, before I tell you about the new challenge I have some sad news! The uber talented Fi is leaving us! She is moving on too BIGGER and BRIGHTER things! Wish you all the luck in the world honey! Going to be missed! As Fi is leaving us we're having a lil Design Team Call that you can find here!

Now we have another great wee Challenge for you all this fortnight

"STAMP SOMETHING"

That's it! No digital images allowed and anything you make must have some sort of hand stamping on it! As usual you can make enter anything into our challenges from cards to ATC's, Scrap page layouts to altered items! As long as your item has stamp and ink!

We have 2 yes TWO fab sponsors this time for you all!!

Firstly

Papermaze is a small, family mail order business based on a farm in rural Suffolk.
I have been making cards for years, cross-stitched ones at first until a friend introduced me to rubber stamping. Paper has always been my passion and would be the first thing I looked for in craft shops in my continuing search for something different. This led me to discover scrapbooking, so now I'm hooked on that too!

The idea for the website was born after the birth of our third child, and a desire to do something different from teaching, that would enable me to work from home. After months of research, we went live in October 2003.

We pride ourselves on our fast and friendly service. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, suggestions or comments about our site.

You can win your self a wee £10 voucher for their amazing shop!

And secondly

Funky Kits

We are a small Scottish company dedicated to bringing you the cutest of stamps for all your card making needs! We are the sole online retailers for Sugar Nellie Stamps - with new designs being premiered regularly!

We are also adding many more brands of stamps to our catalogue for all you stamp addicts!

We can be contacted Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning's on 01343 548864 or by e-mailing info@funkykits.co.uk
