How about this for a challenge???

I had a phone call yesterday from regular contributor Lousette Ashton - she has been selected by Stampin' Up! to take part in their blog challenge (congrats Lousette). She is one of three challengers who will receive a box of goodies from the new SU catalogue tomorrow (Wed 30th Sept) afternoon and have until just 12 midnight to design and create samples and post them on their blogs. Now that IS a challenge! Rather you than me Lousette (takes me four hours to make a card!!!).

Pop over to Lousette's Blog for more info and to see what she creates!

A bit of feedback?

Hi all,
If you have a few moments to spare I'd be very grateful if you would take the time to complete our feedback questionnaire online at www.craftstamper.com/feedback.

It only takes a few mins to complete and there are £20 worth of PaperArtsy stamps up for grabs for one person who takes part. We'll use the feedback to make improvements to the magazine.

Thanks for helping :)
