This is a long post  but I'm so excited to be on the DT for  http://www.thatcraftplace.co.uk/

and I want to say so much LOL!!......might need a cuppa after all this !

Well ladies its all happening this week at 'That Craft Place'  challenge, many of you know, they are expanding!!!! That Craft Place shop is moving to larger premises with loads more goodies on their way.  Whilst they are busy decorating and making the new shop gorgeous the DT is gonna keep you busy!!..... and what a great challenge we have! 

 ANYTHING GOES! 
Which will run for 4 weeks

 You can create a card, a tag, a scrapbook page, altered art, mixed media or whatever takes your fancy.
 and there's some great blog candy to be won......

I have used DP from Bearlymine Designs, a kanban stamp ( just one of the many brands available from the shop) coloured with promarkers and cut out using Gokreate dies and a little glitter added, flowers, feather,pin and bow from my stash.

We also have an inspiration blog http://shopatthatcraftplace.blogspot.com/ where you will find cards and tutorials to give you inspiration, I hope you can appreciate its new but I'm sure it wont take us long to get it filled up with goodies for you to see, and also find out whats new in the shop we will be showcasing the wide selection of stamps  The Craft Place has to offer..we sure look forward to your support.

I have die-cut the corners and added the sentiment, the card I used for the die-cut is silver with a little holographic glitter in it maybe why I cant get a decent pic.
Sorry I havent been around much this week ..still got this flu and a terrible chesty cough..its wearing me out!
hope to be back to normal soon
