The Blade Rubber Stamps staff have chosen the finalists for their competition - and I hope you'll all go and vote!

Here is the link - the poll is in the sidebar, and is up for a week. You can tick as many boxes as you like to choose your favourites - and vote more than once if you want to!

I think the standard of entries was fantastic - we had scrapbook pages, journals, cards... I loved everything.

A very sincere thanks to everyone who entered - I am just so sorry you couldn't ALL get a prize!

There are prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places - so please vote for your favourites!

COMPETITION - FINAL CALL

Just a final reminder that the BladeRubberStamps competition closes on WEDNESDAY, 30th September. 

As there has been a disappointing number of entries (sob) I am amending the competition details, and opening the competition up to cards, ATCs, Inchies and Twinchies as well as postcards, journals, altered art and scrapbooking.

So I hope there'll be a few more entries! I am so looking forward to seeing what you've done.

Full details of the prizes etc are here, or click the button in the sidebar.

Send me your jpgs!

COMPETITION - REMINDER

Just a reminder that there's a competition on the Blade Rubber Stamps blog.


Here's the link for the full details.



I hope you'll join in!

Finalists will all have their work displayed on the blog, and I for one can't wait to see it!

The competition is open to anyone, not just the UK, and I'm looking for altered art, scrapbooking and journal pieces - there just has to be a rubber stamp used in there somewhere (by any manufacturer).

I hope you'll join in! Email your artwork to me (click the link in the sidebar).

AND THE WINNER OF THE GIVEAWAY IS...

And the winner is....(drum roll please)... KSLAUGHTER











Kathy, please email me your address so I can get the album into the post to you.

My husband (Peter) did the democratic thing: I put all the names into the largest mixing bowl we own and he shut his eyes and pulled one out. It would have been a hat, except I just realised I don't have one.

So congratulations Kathy and I hope you like your book.

Sorry to everyone else - I wish I could have given one to everybody!

101 POSTS & A GIVEAWAY

I've just realised I have written 100 posts on this blog!

Considering I never kept up a diary in my life beyond the first week, this calls for a big celebration - I have had over 9200 visitors which is totally incredible. I can't believe it - thank you all so much.












So I have decided to put up one of my handmade Japanese stab-bound albums as a giveaway.










This is a little A5 sized album and the front and back covers are decorated inside and out: also the page edges have just a little decoration and distressing. So it should be a quick one to fill up!

Some of you may have seen it before (published in Simply Stamping issue 6) so you know this book was built from the raw cardboard out! The ruler is a piece of real vintage school ruler (about 1960s) and the windows on the front cover all open to show the 30s movie stars underneath.

Just leave me a comment about why you want it, and I'll announce the lucky winner next Sunday (19th April).

COMPETITION!

Blade Rubber Stamps is holding a competition - with prizes!
