Ooh, it's my turn to host the Stampotique challenge yay! For quite some time now, I have been thinking that some of the Stampotique characters remind me of a family gathering ...( er, no offence to any of my family members who may happen to be reading LOL!) So, with that in mind I set you a challenge to create something, anything, with the theme of family. It could be a greeting card, a journal page, an ATC .... whatever you like.

Now, you can be serious .... 'If sisters were flowers I'd pick you', or tongue in cheek... 'You pick your friends, not your family' or whatever you like. As you can see I have gone for being a bit cheeky!


I decided to create a funny page in my journal for this challenge. There is a slightly serious side to this page. As families, habits and quirks develop over the years and in your own family you don't even notice them. Your own family seems normal to you, but it just may be that other people that think you're weird!! Still, other families have no right to call you weird because they are just as bad hahaha!


As this post goes live I should be back from my adventures at Ranger in the USA, but only just, and I will be seriously jetlagged, so this is another scheduled post. I'll be back soon, in person, to share the details and inside info from Ranger headquarters!

Byee for now .....
