Craft Stamper, 100 followers and a little give away....

Well, I didn't realise quite how many of you would be interested in doing the calendar challenge....the list has grown and grown :-)))  Thanks to you all so much for joining in but remember there is NO GOING BACK NOW  LOL! Hopefully we can all encourage each other and keep each other going. I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone's art at the end of every month. If you'd like to join in it's not too late -  see the post below.

The next issue of Craft Stamper is out in the shops this week (UK) and in this issue I have the first part of a 3-part series on Art Journaling. Here are some sneak peeks of the art journal I made for this issue:



Inside the front cover:

Inside the back cover:

And I also took part in 'Stamping Contrasts' this issue and was given some Inchie Stamps by Innovative Stamp Creations to play with. Here are some sneak peeks using Crafty Individuals papers:


And finally.........I see I now have 100 followers. Yippee! Thanks to you all. I'm offering this cute little birdie stamp by Crafty Individuals as a little thank you. If you are a follower and would like to win this stamp, just leave a comment on this post and I'll pick a winner on Wednesday 6th January.

Happy new year everyone. Hope the new year brings you peace, joy and lots of art :-)

    Tantalising peeks! Will look forward to seeing the whole article... you're really inspirational. I'm going out tomorrow to buy a larger art journal to do your challenge - my hubby asked "haven't you just bought one?" Yeah but its not big enough!!! Happy New Year x x

    First...I will have to get in touch with Sarah to ask her to post the new issue of CS to me...very difficult to find locally

    Secondly...Congratulations on 100 followers! It's so fun to have people come and be inspired, isn't it?!

    Third...I have loved coming to your blog since the day I discovered it. I must say I am a bit lax in leaving comments, but will vow to do better in 2010.

    Last...I just love your blog header!

    Happy New Year Kate!

    Well, I survived the minus 8 in the UK thanks to your warning to bring thermals!!!
    I also found WH Smiths in Penrith and bought an A4 book to use for my 2010 journal so tomorrow I will make time to prep the first couple of pages for January.
    Love your art journal sneak peeks so a bit miffed that CS isn't out till 1st Jan so my new year resolution is to subscribe. Going to do that right after I finish this comment.
    Congratulations on your 100 followers - thats a huge achievement - I have lots of Crafty Individuals papers and quite a few of their stamps but haven't got that cute little birdie one so please may I go in for the draw.
    Hope your Christmas was really great and that you have just as enjoyable New Year celebration and a happy and successful 2010 to follow.
    Sue xx

    Congratulations on your 100 followers!! Isn't it a lovely feeling that so many people like your artwork! Really looking forward to reading your article, WHSmith should have it on Friday :)
    And yes Mary, you can get it in the States, but not sure where from, I know my friend Julie has to travel to pick it up but she can get hold of a copy.

    Congratulations Kate on your 100 followers, it is not surprising as your art work is so wonderful, so creative that every one waits eagerly to see what you produce next.
    I love Crafty Individuals stamps I have loads (not this one though) and have been on one of Jean's courses which was really wonderful.
    Happy New Year

    Trying hard to get to my study but there's always something stopping me - kids, washing, organising tonight's party...once the 2 wee ones are picked up by my Mum later I promise to make some progress!!! Love all the sneak peeks, can't wait to see the full pictures! Congratulations on having 100 followers - I was excited to reach 5 the other day, I'll probably faint if I ever get 100! Happy Hogmany! xxx

  29. Kate Creates - a lot of mess, just ask my family.....31 December 2009 at 19:05

    Kate

    I've been waiting for the chance to comment - I subscribe to CS Mag and have been studying your article for a couple of days now. It is amazing and has inspired me to perhaps do the cover on my oversize Calendar Book following your guide but I must get on with prepping a January page first! I love your use of bright colours and the little birdy - must check where he came from.
    More, more, more, please.
