Nutty Nutshell's Wednesday!!

Wow, it's Wednesday again and time for our second Nutty Nutshell's Challenge!! We are so thrilled with the response that we had to our first challenge!! Thank you for visiting us and playing along. We love to see your wonderful creations.

For this week's challenge, you should go out and find yourself a sketch challenge that is currently running (Mojo Monday, etc) and make a card using that sketch and ANY line of stamps that we carry in our Nutcrafter's store!!! That makes it nice and easy for everyone to participate!! So go over to Nutcrafter's and see our selection of stamps from lots of different companies such as The Greeting Farm, Stampavie, Magnolia, Ladybug & Friends, High Hopes, Buddy Bear and Sarah Kay. You can also get out Nutshells, Harriet Hurst and our Digi Image Pink Frosting - our Breast Cancer Awareness set. Which is too cute! I'm sure that you have something in your stash that you can use and you can order something new for next time!!

Our tremendously talented Design Team members have created some wonderful cards for you to see.

THINK PINK!

It has been a little while since our last Nutshells post, but that's not to say we have been sitting on our laurels!

October in the U.K is Breast Cancer Awareness month and to support this important event we have created a very special Digi stamp set.

Pink Frosting will be available as a digital download from the beginning of October and is filled with lost of sweet images including a new Nutshell... Pecan!

The full set will include two character images along with two cupcakes and a selection of cupcake toppers and sentiments.

(Inside of card showing more of the set - Sitting Pecan Nut and two Cupcakes, with Cherry topper)

We will be donating half of every download sold to a Breast Cancer Awareness charity, so please spread the word if you like the set, especially as it's for a good and ever so important cause.

Thanks for stopping by, Katie and Colette.

BUSY LITTLE BEES!
