and talking of prizes....we have a brand new sponsor this week...

Click on the logo to be taken over to their online store where you will find a selection of our favourite stamps along with lots of other goodies for your cardmaking needs....

and a little bit about Crimson Cloud....

Crimson Cloud is run by me, Melanie, and my mother Linda.

Once upon a time I had forgotten somebody’s birthday and being a card-aholic was in a flat panic. In a  telephone conversation my mother happened to say “don’t worry just make one”. That was ten years ago and a small fortune later we  finally decided that we loved this masochistic form of artistic, retail therapy and so we have settled and found our niche at last!

We sell only products that we love and use ourselves and love sharing our passion with everyone who is as addicted to cardmaking as we are.

who have generously donated
Penny Black  - 365
as a prize....

And last but not least.....some fabulous stitching inspiration from the lovely girls on the Design Team...
