Rachelle Anne Miller Collection

This is one of the sample cards I made from the brand new cd from a brand new company, the artist is Canadian and her artwork is stunning so it was so easy to work with the images and hopefully produce samples that everyone will like.

For this week the cd is only available from Create and Craft but it should be available elsewhere once the week is over.

The giraffes were my favourite once I started to work with the images but the mouse is also a favourite

Try to catch the shows on C&C, I'm sure you'll love this cd and as it also has cutting files on it then if you own a cutting machine it's a must have.

CD Sunday - Wine Buff

Over on CD Sunday this week the theme is Wine Buff, well there I was thinking I didn't have anything to suit the theme so I was a bit stuck.  I searched the internet for an image and found this one, thought it was a little bit of fun so decided to use it. 

Now I have been making some samples for a brand new cd which has just been launched on Create and Craft this week, The Rachelle Anne Miller Collection from Elegant Inspiration.  I decided to use some of the backing papers from the cd, the different shades of colour work really well together so I decided to use the blue to pick out the colour of the shirt.  I had a bit of a play in Craft Artist and this is what I came up with, hope you like it and you'll pop over to the CD Sunday blog and join us, we'd love to have you visit.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - In the Misty Moonlight

This is my card for the challenge we have over on Rainbow Lady's blog this week, we are being sponsored once again by the lovely Joanna Sheen abd this week the theme is In the Misty Moonlight.

I have used the Enchanted Dreams cd and this picture is one of my favourite ones. I have used a backing paper from another image as I thouoght the fireworks went really well with the fireworks in the image. The word Celebrate is stamped in versamark and embossed with silver, and I have used my Martha Stewart punch to do the heart trim.

I do hope you can come and join us and maybe win a voucher to spend in Joanna's shop.

A 50th birthday card

I don't know what it is with my friends and family but whenever they reach a grand age i.e. a milestone year they don't want their ages on the cards.

This card and sorry it's not the best picture but it was taken at 11.30pm is for one of my workmates, she will be 50 on Tuesday so I have decided that no age on the card means plenty of bling! The corners are covered with stones, it was a pack I got with two corners but I decided the I would cut away the single line and use that on two of the corners and the swirly bits on the other two corners.

The image and backing papers are from Debbi Moore's Diamonds and Lace cd, I am quite pleased with it and hopefully it will suit her as she is quite a fussy bod,lol. Oh yes and I usedsome of my precious lace across the page too, good job I like her!

CD Sunday - Nature's Wonders

Good morning all, it's another Sunday so that means another  challenge over at CD Sunday. This week we have chosen the theme Nature's Wonders, we were given some stamps from the lovely Sue from Creative Expressions and she has also donated a prize which was so generous that we have managed to get four prizes out of it. There are some Christmas stamp sheets to be won and as they are all different it will be a bit of a lucky dip as to who gets what.

My card this week is made with some fab card I bought at Port Sunlight earlier in the year, I do love dark colours, I also used a spare piece to stamp onto with a background stamp which I have embossed with silver and then cut out with one of my nesties,  the stamped image is from the set the DT were given to use and this has been coloured with Promarkers and a bit of chalk. The cd comes into it as the blue paper is printed from the backing paper section of the Thomas Kinkade cd by Joanna Sheen, it a very pretty pattern but it doesn't show in the picture.  I used Promarkers to colour the ribbon and the top of the pins so everything matches. I do hope you will come and join us and hopefully win yourself a prize, we'd love to see you.

CD Sunday - Winter Wonderland

Hello everyone and thanks for dropping by, this week over on CD Sunday we want you to think Winter Wonderland.

I have had a great time doing my card for this challenge, I know it won't win any awards but it was a pleasant change using the Cricut to cut everything on the card. I printed several different papers from Season's Greetings by Artylicious and then cut out the trees and houses, sleigh and reindeer on the Cricut. Even the background was cut so it was quite easy to do. I cut the different layers out in contrasting papers and the church was meant to have the pattern on the outside the same as the other houses but somehow I managed to mix them up so that ended up plain with the pattern behind. I think it looks ok so didn't have to cut another set out. The snowman is a bit on the large side but we are in fanatasy land here,lol, I cannot find my fine gold thread to make the reins so at the moment the reindeer are on trust to stay put.

I hope you like my wonderland and will pop over to the challenge blog and join in with us, we love to see you.

Oh I forgot to say I used Winter Woodland Cartidge for everything here and I used copious amounts of glitter.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - White Space

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week the challenge is plenty of white space, I chose to use the digi of three daisies from the choice supplied by Card Mad Fairies who are sponsoring us this week. I do struggle with the less is more type of card so this has taken me out of my comfort zone a little bit even though I do try.

The flowers were coloured with Promarkers and the edges done with a fine liner pen, the ribbon is ruffled onto a piece of strong tape.  I do hope you can come and join us we would love to see what you do.

I would also like to add this to the LIM challenge which is anything goes and they are hoping for 1000 entries this week so hopefully they will get there.

CD Sunday - Black and Blue

Over on CD Sunday this week we want you to think Black and Blue, I have used Joanna Sheen's Dancing with Shadows for my card. I used this cd a lot when it first came out but it has been sitting neglected on the shelf for quite a while now so this is a good excuse to bring it out again. I have used a tapestry card for this card, and yes I know it's quite extravagant but sometimes we just have to use our special card and paper.

I was really pleased with the colour of the bow as it was white to begin with and I used one of my promarkers to colour it and I have to say it's a pretty good match.  I also used my promarkers to colour the pearls, I cut the frames with my Cricut and all in all I am quite pleased with the end result.

I do hope you like my card this week and also that you will join us in our current challenge.

Faye Whittaker cd

I treated myself to the new Faye Whittaker cd from Joanna Sheen and have been having a bit of a play. The images are sweet without being sickly and some of the backing papers are so pretty while others are perfect for beach scenes, etc.

The baby girl card is done in lilac because when I tried the pink cards I have they didn't look right but for me the lilac card goes really well.

The boy on the beach is a timeless image and I thought the words on the stamp suited the scene so well.

Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you like todays cards. See you soon.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - Sweet treats for Christmas

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week we want you to go with the theme Sweet Treats for Christmas, we were given some Whimsy digis to play with and this is what I came up with. The card is designed in Craft Artist and then the topper is coloured with the trusty Promarkers and I have added glitter to the icing.

I hope you can come on over and have a play as we do have another prize on offer from our lovely sponsors. 

CD Sunday - Alphabets the letter M

Hello all, can you believe it's another Sunday and half way through my two weeks leave. We have so much to do in the house that we have been at home busy, I really feel like I drew the short straw because I am doing the hall. At first I though it's only small I can get that done in no time but there is so much painting to do with all the doors which were brown and are now white and have taken so many coats that I think it would have been better to buy new ones. It is now nearly done and looking so much brighter that it will be worth it once it's finished, even if I will be fit for nothing.
Now onto this weeks challenge over on CD Sunday, we will occasionally use a letter of the alphabet as it is quite fun to see what people come up with, quite often things you wouldn't have thought of yourself, this weeks letter is M. At first I was a bit stumped and couldn't think of anything that I would have that would work, then my team mates started putting their creations on the admin blog and I was thinking why didn't I think of that, so thought I'd better get a move on and make something. It was Joanna Sheen to the rescue once again, I have used the Enchanted Dreams cd and my M is mermaid. I found this image while I was looking through the cd for inspiration and then cut out the word and the seahorses on the Cricut using SCAL. The backing paper is some that I've had for ages and never really used it as it is quite difficult to get anything to stick to it but now that I've found Pinflair it works a treat.

I do hope you'll come on over and join us, and check out who won last weeks great prize of three Artylicious cd's.

CD Sunday -Inspired by Peacocks

Good morning all, well can you believe it's Sunday again and yes that means we have a new challenge over on CD Sunday now this being the start of the month it's a sponsored challenge and this month have we got a super sponsor for you. Glenda over at Chocolate Baroque has been ever so generous and we have a prize of three of her cd's up for grabs, and the winner of our top three will also get a cd so get over and see what's going on and join in with us.
My card is made using the Peacocks Summer Party which was kindly given to us by Glenda for this challenge, I have used a plain background which I have embossed some lines on to make a grid, I then spritzed it with a mica spray. The image is from the cd and I stupidly printed it onto acetate, it looks fab but it is impossible to get a decent picture of it so sorry you can see my reflection but with the light being what it was it was the best I could do.
If you haven't been over to the Chocolate Baroque site then please give yourself a treat and go and have a look, the stamps are fab and the quality is just about the best you can get and of course you can get anything else you may need too.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - Embossing

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge this week we want you to do a bit of embossing, now that can be any kind and you can make anything so I decided that I would finally get around to doing this box.

My friend gave me the box after I had expressed an interest and it has been sitting in my drawer for quite a long time. I have painted it with acrylic paint, stamped and embossed with both gold and silver, I have also added some distress inks is several colours but it doesn't show very well in this picture, the box is actually a bit darker than it looks here.

I have added some self adhesive ribbon around the lid, the pearls were already on it, used a few pearls on the lid and thought I'd finished but it seemed to need something extra so, I dug out the gold leaf and added a bit of glue here and there and stuck the gold onto it. I am quite pleased with the result and find it funny how much time and effort this took to make it look old and worn.

I almost forgot to tell you that this week we are sponsored by the wonderful Joanna Sheen so please join in and you could win a voucher to spend in her shop.

CD Sunday - Just because

Hello all, this week on CD Sunday we are having an easy time of things and our theme is 'Just Because'. Well how easy is this you may ask,  well I couldn't make up my mind so decided to go for something that I'd not normally do.

I was browsing through my cd's and found this image on Joanna Sheen's Furry Friends cd, well you do have to smile at this wee frog so it was decided that I would use him.

I copied the image and put it into Craft Artist and added the words, I printed the backing paper and matted all of it up onto dark green card. I used my Martha Stewart punch to do the trim down the middle and finally added a big bow. I do hope you like my offering.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - Faux Postage

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we want you to have a go at faux postage. We are being sponsored by the very talented Glenda Waterworth from Chocolate Baroque so you should really join in so it could be you winning the super prize on offer.

Glenda let us have some of her stamps to play with and I was lucky because I had already bought one set of these so those that we had sent to us were different but complemented each other and I've used both sets.  We also used a down loadable template for the stamps and it is so cool so a must have if you haven't got it.  My backing paper is from one of Artlicious cd's which I used a little bit of distress inks on, I coloured the stamps with the same inks and then stamped over them while the template was in place.  I do hope you like my effort and you will come on over and join us.

CD Sunday - Nursery Rhymes

Good morning all, this week over on CD Sunday we want you to remember your childhood and use the theme of nursery rhymes to create something.

For my card I used Joanna Sheen's Card Makers Year to make a new baby card, so my nursery rhyme is Rock a Bye Baby. Once I'd done it I thought I could have made a scrapbook page, the amount of people I know who have had babies recently I could have filled a book.

I do hope you can come and join us, it's my turn to choose the top three this week so hopefully you will give me a hard time and produce lots of lovely things for me to wonder over.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - Your choice of song.

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week we have been sponsored by The Stamping Boutique who gave us some digi stamps to work with, as soon as I saw this one I thought of the song I was going to do. I found the lyrics online and repeated them all over the background, the image is coloured with Promarkers and I used a bit of Distress Ink arond the edges. The backgound and the embellishment was made in Craft Artist and then printed and layered to create an 8inch square card.

CD Sunday - Only Ovals

Good Sunday morning to you all, over on CD Sunday we have a brand new challenge for you, this week it's Only Ovals.
For my card I cut the card out on the Cricut but had to cut the bottom of the oval off because it was just to narrow to stand up. Note to self, make the card landscape next time!  I have used a great stamp from LOTV, I just love this little girl who is in such a strop!  I have coloured her with the new Spectrum Noir pens from CC, these pens are very juicy so I had to use a different technique with them but I managed and did enjoy using them.  The backing paper is from Seraphina through the ages from Doolicraft and the flowers are from Wild Orchid.

I do hope you can come over and join us, we love to have you visit so we can repay the favour and call on you.

Rainbow Lady's challenge - Stamp It

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week we want you to stamp it! You just need to include something stamped on your project and as usual you can make anything you want to.
The design team were given some digi images to work with so I made a litle scene with them and then added the cat later, the cat is one of the pets range from Do crafts. The digi's came from Chi Chi and as they are sponsoring us again this week there will be a prize of some digis for the winner. I do hope you can come on over and join us after all it's a pretty easy one for you this week.

Sheena's Blog Candy

Friday sees the launch of a new range of paint fusion stamps and a dvd from the very talented Sheena Douglas. to celebrate this Sheena is giving away some fabulous blog candy. All you have to do is pop over and join in so what are you waiting for and there is a sneak preview every day of some of the wonderful things you can do. 

CD Sunday - Buttons

Good morning all, we have got a new challenge for you over on the CD Sunday blog and as this week is a sponser one we have a lovely prize to give away too. This week we are being sponsored by Katy Sue Designs and have a cd of Grandma's Button Box on offer.

The team were given a copy of the cd so all our samples this week have been made using it and they are all different so do come over and join in with us.  For my card I took the images into Craft Artist and removed the inside from the frame, I also removed the background from around the girl and placed her into the frame. I have made a couple of spools of thread and added two pins and of course loads of buttons down the side.

We have a couple of changes this week and hopefully you will be happy with them but to find out what these changes are you will have to come and see for yourself.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Island Paradise

Over at Rainbow Lady's this week we want you to imagine your own island paradise, for this one I took the opportunity to use a couple of photo's taken when we were in Australia. We had a day trip to one of the small islands on the barrier reef, what a day!

I have used Craft Artist to do the scrap book and hopefully the bubble shows up enough for you to see it.

Do come over and join us we'd love to see you.

CD Sunday - Bling it Up!

Hello to everyone, today being Sunday is a brand new challenge over on CD Sunday. This week the theme is really easy as you can use any design you like as long as you use plenty of bling.

For my entry I have used Craft Artist and built this card, printed it off on a specialist photo paper and added lots of gems to the tree and a bronze gem in the middle of the flower, I have put it onto a brown mat and that's it done.

I am also entering this into the Bah! Humbug! challenge this week which is lace, my ribbon and bow are digital lace so hope it counts.

Pretty Flamingo

Thanks to my friend Ann I've found a new to me challenge blog called Stuck on Sketches and there is a great sketch there to play with this week.

We went last year to Martin Mere which is a wildfowl area run by the RSPB, I was quite amazed by the flamingos who gathered around near the visitors entrance and there was much head bobbing and showing off. I managed to get this picture which is fairly decent and thought it would be a good idea to make use of it on a scrapbook page.  We have lots of animal pictures which just sit on the pc, so I think I'll be making more pages soon.  I have recently bought Craft Artist and although I love paper am really enjoying using the digital side too. The programme has so much to play with you can spend hours just putting bits here and there and then removing them again until I get the look I want, what a pleasant way to while away a few hours while OH watches the rugby on tv.

Rainbow Lady's challenge- Hand Made Flowers

Sorry folks I'm a bit late posting this, had a bit of a moment this morning and ran out of time.  Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we want you to use hand made flowers and to add a bit of interest Caroline has even added a flower template for you to use. Caroline also gave us some images to work with and mine was the orange one, I printed off several sheets and made up a couple of flowers, sprayed with the spray and sparkle and added a gem in the middle.  I cut the outer wrap on the Cricut and then used the same card to stamp the butterfly onto. I mounted this onto a creamy card which has been coloured with Distress Inks, I bought the corner punches at the QVC outlet shop and they came in a set  of four.

Do come on over and join us we love to have you play. xx

CD Sunday - Dream

Over on CD Sunday this week we want you to dream along with us, I have made an easel card with an image from the Enchanted Dreams Cd from Joanna Sheen. I am not sure if the colour is right because my printer was playing up and I think the background should be blue but I quite liked the purple tones so used it. I sprayed it with Spray and Sparkle, iridescent just to brighten the colours up and add a bit of something extra.

I hop you can come over and join us this week as we love to visit you and see you wonderful creations.

Pets

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week we want you to use your pets as inspiration, we were given digi images to work with from StampnDoodle  and this is what I came up with - A scrapbook page using Craft Artist.

I have had this software a while now but am only just starting to get used to all the things it does and it's fab so you may be seeing more from this in the future.  Please come and join us and maybe even win a prize as this is once again a sponsored challenge.

CD Sunday - Nautical

Over on CD Sunday this week we want you to think Nautical, there are so many things that you could do with this one that I hope we have a good entry.

I have made an A4 scrapbook page as my printer doesn't print out 12x12, that is something on the wish list!  I have used Craft Artist and the picture is my OH when we were on a trip to Australia. I really am liking this programme now and am learning how to do different things but there is such a lot on it that it's taking time!

I do hope you can come over and join us, it would be great to see you and hopefully our efforts will give you a bit of inspiration to do something amazing.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - A Stitch in Time

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge this week we want you to use A Stitch in Time as your theme, we are once again sponsored by Chi Chi digi's so there's a prize available too.

I have used one of the images supplied by Chi Chi for this card and to be honest although I do like stitching on cards don't do a lot so my stitches are done with a cuttlebug folder and highlighted with a bit of Distress Ink.  The image is coloured with promarkers and my backing paper is a Papermania one from the Honey and Hugs range. The sentiment is one of the LOTV ones and I find these incredibly useful.

Bah Humbug! - Meeces

It seems ages since I joined in with the Bah Humbug challenge, I do try but always seem to make my card too late so this week I am getting in early. I have used some distress ink though an aperature to make the square and stamped the mouse, I coloured with my Tria markers and then did a bit of faux stitching around the edge.  Finally I stamped the greeting but the last two letters look a little thick in comparison to the rest.  I am also going to enter this into the  Less is More challenge which this week is a single layer card teamed with things with legs.

Less is More - Things with Legs

Over on the Less is More challenge blog the theme this week is a one layer card with the added thing of something with legs.  The legs here are on the tailors dummy, this has been stamped with Versafine and coloured with my Tria markers. The sentiment came on the same sheet and is part of a collection of Kanban stamps which I use quite often.

CD Sunday Challenge - Handbags

Over on CD Sunday this week our challenge is handbags, now as usual as long as a cd is involved anything can be made but I decided that an actual bag would fit the bill quite well.

This little bag was cut out on my Cricut and I used a Cupcake cd- Floral Fantasy for the backing paper which I printed onto the card before cutting.  I am not 100% sure where the cutting file came from but I think it was from Dan.  I have added a little bit of bling in the form of tiny pink hearts in the cetre of the flowers.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - In the Country

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week we want you to head for the country, our team have enjoyed this one and it is sponsored by the lovely joanna Sheen so well worth a go. For my card I have used the Enchanted Dreams cd and like a bit of a numpty put the backing paper on the wrong way so I decided to cut out a butterfly and then cover it with the most beautiful blue glitter and some gems jut to add a bit of something.  To finish off I used a LOTV stamp which I find so very useful, this is embossed in gold.

I do hope you can come over and join us and maybe you will be the one to win a voucher to spend in Joanna's shop.

CD Sunday - Christmas is Calling

Over at CD Sunday we have decided that July is a good time to make a start if you haven't already done so, on your Christmas cards so we thought this week we would use Christmas as our theme.

This week we are being sponsored by The Stamping Boutique and they are giving three images of the winners choice so worth a go and it is an easy challenge this week.

The DT have been given a few images to work with and as I wanted to make sure you could see the kind of thing they do I made two cards. My first card is done in Craft Artist and the washing line cut out and popped over the snowy background.  The second card is using a backing paper from Artylicious's Season's Greetings, I have used Tea Dye distress ink on both the backing paper and the image. The image itself is coloured with different shades of distress inks and I did have fun with the paint brush for a change.  The snowflakes and the word were cut out on the cricut, since taking the picture I have added a bit of glitter as a finishing touch.

I do hope you will come over and join us and meet our new guest for the month of July.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - 4th July

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week the challenge is 4th July, I have made this in Craft Artist to wish our american friends a happy independance day.

The challenge this week is sponsored by Crafty Individuals and if I wasn't a member of the team then I would be entering for this one, super prize on offer so go on over and join in.

CD Sunday - Mixed Bouquet

Over on CD Sunday this week the theme is mixed bouquet, I cut my card and the layers out on the Cricut. The card is inked at the edges with tumbled glass distress ink, the basket of flowers is a digi which was a freebie from Karens Doodles which I have coloured with my new Tria markers which are just like Promarkers but have a brush tip so are so much better to colour with, I coloured the ribbon with the same pens.

The backing paper is from the Artylicious cd Decadent Brocade, this is a fabulous cd which has lots of very useful papers on it.

Sadly it's the final week for our guest designer Jocelyn this week and she is going out with a bang and has produced two cards for us, so I do hope you can come on over and have a look and hopefully join in with us.

Digi Day on Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog

It's digi Day over on Rainbow Lady's and the design team have been given some images to work with so I have chosen to use the old phone. I coloured it with promarkers and cut it out. I then used my Cricut to cut the cat layers out and the words, layered the cat up and the put them all on a spotty background which has also been cut on the Cricut.

Hope you can come over and join us this week, digi's can be lot's of fun and we look forward to seeing what you come up with.

CD Sunday - Tassel Time

Hi guys, it's yet another Sunday and for me it means one thing for sure, another challenge at
CD Sunday, well we do have a challenge for you this week as we want you to use a tassel!
I have to be honest and say we have a vote on our challenges and I don't think I voted for this one, lol. Anyway I guess I know one or two people who are worth a tassel so got over the shock fairly quickly, and got on with the job and made this card from Joanna Sheen's cd Elegant Fans.

I printed the backing paper onto 160gsm text and graphics paper and the fan is printed onto semi gloss photopaper, I have added an embossed strip across the front so there was somewhere to focus the fan on. I have used pinflair to fasten the fan to the card and to help make sure the tassel stays in place.

I do hope you can come over and join us and we are looking forward to visitng the brave amongst you.

CD Sunday - If The Shoe Fits

A very good Sunday morning to everyone, been a bit hectic here and at one point thought I wasn't going to get anything done for this weeks challenge but finished this yesterday so everything turned out alright.

The challenge over on CD Sunday is If the Shoe FIts, well as we all know if indeed the shoes do fit we just have to have them, so my sentiment is designed to let you fill in the ending in your own mind.  I have used Debbi Moore's cd Fabulous Flourishes, it is not a huge cd with toppers and bookmarks etc on it but the papers are pretty and very useful so worth having in your collection.  The shoe itself is a digi I bought a while ago and I'm really sorry but can't think where it came from, I know I bought a couple of things from the same place and have no doubt would do so again if I ever find her. I have coloured with promarkers and added stickles glitter glue in Diamond over where the fancy bits are, popped on a few gems and a bit of ribbon and hey presto it's finished.

Hope you can come over and join us, we'd love to see you.

Rainbow Lady'schallenge - Ticket to Ride

Over on Rainbow Lady's this week the challenge is called Ticket to Ride, now we were given some images to work with and this is the one I have used. I have turned it into a birthday card and the backing paper is from basic Grey, thought it went well together. The number 3 and the words were cut out on the Cricut. hope you can pop over and join us we would love to see you and once again the challenge is sponsored by Chi Chi.

Less is more - Monochrome

Well I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to join in any challenges apart from my DT commitments but have really missed doing certain ones and the Less is More challenge is one of my favourites.

This week the challenge is monochrome so I thought I'd play along and use one of my new stamps bought from Indigoblu, I have tried it out previously but this is the first card I have made with it.   I have stamped the image with a cranberry Adirondack ink and then found a piece of matching card for the mat. The sentiment is one I've had for an age but don't know where it came from.

CD Sunday - Digi Day

Good morning all, not a very bright morning so I won't feel guilty playing in the craft room. Over on CD Sunday this week we are being sponsored by Stitchy Bears so in honour of that we have decided to have a digi day.

My card is using an image supplied by our sponsors and the backing paper comes from Craft Artist Platinum, I printed everything off on an A4 sheet and realised I had flipped the image so the words were back to front, which as it's Alice in Wonderland I probably clould have got away with it but decided to reprint the image the corect way around. I have used Tea Dye Distress Ink over the top of both the BP and the image and then screwed the image up and rubbed the ink pad over the top to catch the creases and make it look quite old.

I do hope you can come over and join in with us, we'd love to see you.
