Happy Friday folks ....... It is Friday isn't it?  We had a bank holiday here on the island yesterday and I kept thinking it was Saturday ........ now I've no idea what day of the week it is! Let's go with Friday shall we ....... it's the first one of the month so that means the latest issue of the Craft Stamper magazine hits the shelves today.  It also means that there's a brand new Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge too. As always the theme is Anything Goes ...... as long as there's actual rubber stamping on your projects somewhere. It can be a card, an ATC or a journal page.  A canvas, or piece of jewellery even.  Or maybe something 3D, or a bit of home decor ..... the choice is all yours. Just remember to follow the challenge guidelines, which you can find HERE on the Craft Stamper Blog ....... we don't want an amazing project to be excluded from the chance of winning one of the prizes. Speaking of prizes ........ we have two on offer as always. ...

Happy Sunday evening ..... I hope you've had a nice weekend ..... the good thing is, here in the Isle of Man, and the UK, it's not over yet!  We've got a lovely Bank Holiday tomorrow ..... no early Monday morning start, and the weather forecast is looking good!  It's time for another challenge now though ...... fancy some Mixed Media?  Then pop over to the Happy Little Stampers  blog because it's time to get this month's  Mixed Media challenge underway. The theme for May is .........  GOLD! I've gone for adding a little bit of gold heat embossing onto a pretty MDF heart, using one of my favourite IndigoBlu stamps ..... I painted the heart with white gesso, and then covered the front using a piece of the Tim Holtz Botanical Collage Paper  I added a touch of colour to the paper BEFORE I laid it onto the MDF which had been given a coat of Ranger's Glue and Seal. I used Distress Inks on the back of the paper so that the colour wouldn't run when I applied...
