Oops... I'm a day late posting my card for the My Time to Craft Challenge... the challenge this week is black, white and 1 other colour... here is my card...
These stamps were an absolute bargain! They were 10p each at the NEC... well... I know they were only 99p to start off but still a bargain! They are last year's Trim Craft Christmas stamps. When I first saw them I didn't think I would use them as I don't tend to use small stamps... but I knew they would look good together... so that's what I did here.This was a very quick card to make... I just did a slight blue wash with water colours and then just a bit of mating and layering... I'm thinking of making more of these for Christmas cards as I know not everyone appreciates 'cute' cards!!
In other news... I've been so naughty lately and have been filling up the credit card a bit. I can't believe all the bargains that are out there at the minute! I bought some lovely stuff direct from Docrafts, they had some wonderful scrapbook and stamp deals (and delivery was so fast!) Then I treated myself to the new Scrapbooking bumper box from Arty Miss as you always get loads of good stuff in these boxes! I also added a few other bits and bobs to my order... including some LLB ribbon trims... then saw that orders which contained his products were going to take 2 weeks to arrive! So I'm still waiting for that!! And then yesterday I ordered the new Daisy and Dandelion stamps from the Glitter Pot... they also have an exclusive Birthday set which I also had to have! Oh, and a set of the Penny Black clear frog stamps as I fancied making some green cards! Had a phone conversation today with a lady from The Glitter Pot as some flowers I had ordered had sold out. I don't know what she thought as Dylan was shouting "No Mummy, you can't talk on the phone" repeatedly in my ear hole!! I know who rules the roost in my house!!
So yes... been very naughty but I did have my Easter money saved up and I do work very hard at work so I thought I deserved a little treat!
Wow... that was a very long post! Congratulations if you managed to read it all lol!!
Love Becky xx

Lovely card Becky, I love that there is just a hint of blue going on. Certaibly sounds like you had a fab spending spree. Doesnt it feel good to spend money on the fun things for yourself every now and again! I know I felt good after I ordered the Annie stamp collection and nesties, now I have to see if I have enough left for the new Daisy & Dandelion ones too, its just not fair that all these lovely new stamps keep coming out! lol xx
Hi Becky....i'm loving this card,the stamps work so well together and what a bargain you had,didn't make it to the NEC ;0(,
Pleased to hear i'm not on my own with the spending...there's been too much temptation lately,but if the price is right it would be rude not to buy...lol,
Take care
