In the last edition of Australian Simply Cards I had a coffee break feature. In this feature was this simple stamped card. It has been a very popular card, I guess partly for it's simplicity and partly for it's versatility. I really can be used for any gender and any age group just by swapping some colours.  Here is how I made this card - for those who may have missed the magazine. Instructions 1.         Cut an A4 sheet of white cardstock in half at 14.8cm x 21cm .   2.       Score and fold in half at 10.5cm. 3.       Cut another piece of white smooth cardstock to 14.3cm x 10cm . 4.       Stamp the sentiment with the Versafine ink in the bottom right corner. 5.       Stamp the various paint spills and drips with the coloured inks, to your liking. 6.       Die cut the Sketchy Rings from black cardstock 7.        Glue the Sketchy Rings die cut in place. 8.       Attach the front panel with foam tape to the card front.

Hi everyone, Our Challenge for September was flowers and once again we received some magnificent entries. Well done everyone. You don't make it easy to pick a winner. In fact we had a 3 way tie between these three entries....see below. The only fair way to pick a winner was a random draw and the winner of the people's choice went to Shakerah for the purple card. (The top card was also hers). We gave the judge's choice to Pam for her little tin that she made. Aren't they all gorgeous!! Well done girls.        There was also a tie for second place, but all of the cards had a few votes.  Here they all are...

Congratulations to our winners for the August challenge.  The challenge this month was acetate and it was a bit tricky, but the cards that were entered were all great. So many different ways to use acetate. Maralene won the People's Choice prize for her lovely easel card. Maralene used an Amy Design die for the top section of this card and the new Sue Wilson Christmas Rose for the flowers and leaves.  Lyn recieved the Judge's Choice prize for her lovely embossed sticker card.  It's a bit hard to see in the photo but Lyn applied Stickles all over the embossed area and has added glitter behind the red sticker in the centre.  Here are the other entries: Lyn Shirley  Glenda M Glenda M Glenda M I don't often have or mention personal favourites but this is my personal favourite - just because of the style and colours, but also I love the way Glenda placed acetate over the front, which is als
