Donna's Den of Crafts is sponsoring Crafty Cardmakers

Woohoo!!  We're sponsoring my good friend Vix's challenge blog today.  This is a great blog because it really caters for all levels of experience in cardmaking.  The theme for the challenge this fortnight is 'A Challenging Challenge' and they're looking for you to really try something you've never done before, whether it's a new technique or card fold or whatever you like.

Choosing a prize to suit this theme was quite hard so I chose something that I  have personally never used.  Unlike my friend Vix, who loves inks and sprays, I have never experimented with them.  So there we are the prize is an Autumn Ink and a Summer Ink together with some Fabric Stickers.  Take a look at them over in my shop and please have a try at the challenge over on Crafty Cardmakers.

Brad Buddies

These extra large brads from Hot Off The Press always fit the bill. There is a wide range of designs which you can find here. Each pack costs £2.95 and contains 6 Brads (2 of each design) which are approximately 2" in size.

You can see them in action over on my other blog, Cards For Men. Hop over and take a look.

Bye for now.

Easter Candy - Day 5

Today I'm giving away two sets of these wonderful brads to one lucky winner.  Each pack of Brad Buddies from Hot Off The Press (HOTP) contains 2 each of 3 substantial shaped brads (in this set they are about 3-4cm across).

A reminder of the rules:


1. Leave me a comment on each day that you want to enter.
2. Add a link on your blog to spread the word.
3. Follow my blog, if you don't already. (This last one's optional)

Each daily blog candy will be open until midnight (British Summer Time) and I will draw the winner the next day. The winner must claim the prize within 3 days or I'll send it out to someone else.

Hot Off The Press

In my shop I've got some new HOTP booklets for cardmaking and scrapbooking. I think HOTP produce really inspirational products and are generally good value. Take a look here - http://www.donnasdenofcrafts.co.uk/Catalogue.aspx?DepartmentId=4&CategoryID=44&Idx=3
