Hello lovely people,
It's half way through the week and so far I have completed a few tasks;
- I decluttered our en-suite cupboard and organised the remaining items into some new plastic bins; I LOVE to have new storage for things!
- I ordered a new side table for the lounge
- I updated my Folksy shop with some new cards
Other than that I may have got a little sidetracked by crafting - lol!

While I try to get a few more jobs done today, it's time for a new challenge for you at As You Like It and our theme is...
YOUR 'TRADEMARK' STYLE...
...i.e. what defines your style
...and don't forget to tell us why!
Our sponsor this time is Digi Stamp Boutique with a £10 voucher
My trademark has to be stitching since it is on almost all of my cards, no matter what style. I love the subtle detail it adds and the way it 'finishes' the edges.
I also find it very therapeutic as I do all of it by hand!
The card is for someone leaving to have a baby and since they don't know if it's a boy or girl I went for neutral colours.
I was excited to play with my new co-ordinating stamps and dies for this card and I wasn't sure if paying extra for the dies would be worth it but it totally is!
I wouldn't usually go to the bother of fussy cutting the elements, but the dies make it so easy, which means I can create a design like this one where I have raised up the babygros slightly on foam pads.
I am continuing my current love affair with Frantage, but I do like to be quite sparing with it to add just a hint of detail.

Dies: Scallop circles - Tonic Studios, Circle stax - MFT Die-namics
