My Memories Monday 27th of May 2013.

Afternoon all,


Here is the next installment to this new feature. Hope you like it. Here I will show you some new work I have created using My Memories Suite 4. I am starting to find my way around a little better, but it is still early days. This is a little 6x6 square I have created with the aim to allow it to be a little stamp/sticker for the back of your cards or creations. If needed it can be tailor made. So, if you like it and would like it to be personalised for you, give me a shout and I'll see what I can do. Feel free to use it for your creations if you like it, but please give credit where credit is due. Just size them to what fits your creation, print of multiple ones of them, cut them out and stick them to your creations. I thought it might add a touch of class to what we so lovingly create.

My Memories Handcrafted by sticker/stamp

Don't forget, you could create things like this yourself with this software, just follow the links to My Memories.com or the one in software or My Memories Suite v4 and by using my code in the discount box on purchasing this software you get a fabulous $10 off this software. That is not to be sneezed at. You can also create your own scrapbook pages, which was what it was initially created for.

In order to get $10 off this great software, copy and paste my code

STMMMS18943

and enter it in the discount slot while purchasing this software. It will take it automatically off the purchase price. It is however only valid for this software and nothing else!

Thanks for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated!

Happy Birthday To Us! Our Blogaversary Blog Hop and challenge at CRAFT Challenge. Thursday Freebie 9th of May 2013.

Happy Birthday To Us

Happy Birthday To Us

Happy Birthday Dear CRAFT Challenge

Happy Birthday To Us!

Can you believe it? CRAFT Challenge is already 4 years old. Originally started by Tracy from Just Tracy Crafts and with a DT mostly recruited from Trimcraft forum members (Hence the term CRAFT Challenge, which stood for Crafters Residing Are Friendly Trimmies. Or if you wished alternative meaning of Can't Remember A Flipping Thing) on the 4^th of May 2009.

We have now grown to be a large team of Design Team Members from all around the world, supplemented with lots of Guest Designers who join us for a month at a time.

We have always welcomed all kinds of craft, not just paper craft (unless specifically stated so in the challenge at the time) and are happy to have such a large group of faithful followers.

So, how are we going to celebrate this milestone?

Well, how else can we celebrate than to have our yearly Blogaversary Blog Hop?

We all feature one of our sponsors for this blog hop on our blogs and I have the honour of featuring and offering a prize from the following sponsor. You can win this prize by adding your name to Inlinkz at the end of this post. I would love to see your comments as well.

• And the main rule: HAVE FUN!

What can you win on our challenge blog?

Another freebie to celebrate the new Dutch King.

Morning all,

I thought this might be quite an appropriate one to put on as a freebie again in celebration of the crowning of Willem Alexander yesterday. He took the thrown from his mother yesterday. So, here is a crown card template to celebrate and fit in with this. Some of you may already have seen it as a freebie previously, but I thought it was quite fitting to the circumstances. So, here it is again.

Crown card template (gold)

Sorry, this no longer is a freebie!

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. As always, I'm happy to see what I can do with your suggestions. I will try to come up with something 'For the boys' in the near future as well. I wonder what age we are actually looking at. A 5-year old fancies other things than a 15 year old. Maybe I just need to come up with a few things.

Have a good week, back to work for me now (where I am at the moment, lol)

Love,

Jo.
