"Kerry's use of the sketch and composition of her elements just caught my eye.  I love how everything matches tonally, the gorgeous colours and the attention to detail such as the little sequins scattered over her page "

Well Done Kerry, Please contact us to claim your prize :)

Lynn and I met Mark & Helen at Alexandra Palace recently and were impressed by their lovely stamps. 

The challenge is to make a card using a character (or more) if you have Visible Image stamps please use them, if not, any character stamped image will do.

We were inspired by the following card so asked our DT to work with this couple - Bradley and Emma - it's fun to see how different they all are.

We were very impressed with the quality of the stamps and the image they create.

Here are the cards created by our design team to give you some inspiration.

C is for Corrugated Cardboard

Scrapology have discovered a talented scrapper on Scrapbook.com to introduce to you this month. 

Her name is Tracy Christine Funk from Ontario, Canada. Tracy is a stay at home mum to two boys, Evan(14) and Colin (10). Her gallery can be found HERE.
Here is the lovely layout called 'Four Sisters' we have chosen to scraplift:
Tracy says this photo shows her mother (on the left) and three of her five sisters in the 1940's

We challenge you to create a layout inspired by Tracy's page, our sketch and DT samples. We would love to see you incorporate some corrugated card as well.

A great video is available on Gabrielle Pollocco's blog using corrugated card which we think you will find both inspiring and useful.
