No stamps allowed

I simply CANNOT believe that September is over and we are welcoming October today...how on earth did that happen!?? 

Anyway, it being October 1st it means a new challenge at


and it's No Stamping 

...think pre-coloured toppers, die cuts...that kind of thing but definitely no stamps!!
Struggling? hmmmm I did too until I bought a crafting magazine that had some really great decoupage and here is what I made.


The sky paper was a perfect colour match to the snow globe base, and came from Hobbycraft. The snow is some shimmery paper and the sentiment was a freebie from way back, so really not that difficult at all!!

You have a month to play so I hope you will find time to join in...go on challenge yourself!!

Some challenges

A snowflake's promise #6 - Christmas/Winter
Crafty Friends #15 - Pick a Tune - In the bleak midwinter
Craft Your Passion #281 - Anything Goes
Fab 'n' Funky #275 - Anything Christmas

Once again thank you for visiting, time seems to be slipping away from me at the moment, so I do appreciate you taking the time to leave such kind comments.

See you soon xx

    This is so pretty Sarah and your shaped backing follows the lines of the snowglobe scene perfectly.

    Sarah, this is a really beautiful card. I would have a right wobble wobble if I had to make a card with no stamping! Your card is truly gorgeous. You have put every detail together so perfectly and the overall design is really clever and looks wonderful.

    You get the most wonderful freebies in the UK magazines, and this topper is just delightfully charming. I love the stitched snowhill against that snowflake blue sky too. You met this no stamp challenge most excellently. Have a good wkend. TFS
