Thank you all for the lovely messages.
This is a project i did several months ago,
It's just been sitting on the sideboard,

Covered the front & back with cardstock,

We are a new group focusing on using digital stamps for Not Just Cards so please follow us and show us your love and support.

The group was born out of a love for making other things using stamps and it felt like you were either a card-maker or a non-card maker the two worlds didn't seem to combine
So this group was set up for everyone!
We do hope to maybe get card makers trying out non card things and non card makers trying out cards!

We don't have many rules, as this was always a concern, you were allowed to do somethings on some groups and not allowed on others, 
so we took the rules out and put the FUN back into challenges
We welcome anything handmade – cards are more than welcome
You don’t need to use a stamp (digital or real)
Your project can be real or digital
We just want to see your creations
and hope you join in with something other than cards
 but you don't have to.
We would like you to follow us
The only rule we have is that there is no back-linking
your work should be newly published , thanks
We don’t mind how many times you enter, 
why shouldn't you show off your projects if you make a few a day/week?
and we don’t mind how many other challenges you enter, 
and again, why shouldn't you show off your projects?

I just want to keep it as simple as possible so as many people as possible can join in the fun.

We will have a top 5 chosen by the Design Team
A winner of at least one of our prizes will also be hand chosen
and we will have a random picked winner


Winners will be announced with the next challenge in 2 weeks time
