You are going to LOVE this CD from Kraftyhands! It launches today on Create and Craft at 12 noon and 4pm, and you can also see some fab samples by the Design Team in the Kraftyhands Gallery. I haven't had chance to make any cards using this CD yet - but I have lots of ideas, and am definitely looking forward to having a play at the weekend, and will be sharing some cards with you then!
I hope you can tune in to watch the boys (AKA Mike and Ian) to see them show you round the CD - times are subject to change, but I hope they don't get moved as I have set the skybox thingy to record the shows! :-)
Happy Crafting

Its May, and it appears to be spring here in the UK (in London at least)! And its also the start of a new challenge over at Kraftyhands.
This month its Flower Frenzy. So come on over to http://kraftyhandschallenge.blogspot.co.uk and show us all your floral inspiration! For my card I used papers from the recently launched Man About Town CD as I think so many of the backing papers suit cards for both men and women.Anyone can enter the monthly challenges, the only criteria is that you must be a follower of the challenge blog. You can use any products you like, but to be the monthly winner of the £20 Kraftyhands voucher, you must use at least one Kraftyhands or Crafter's Companion product in the creation of your challenge project.
Each month there will be one winner who will receive a £20 voucher to spend on the Kraftyhands webshop and a Top 3 who will get a winner's "blinkie" for their blogs! So pop on over and join in the fun!I am adding this card to:Make It Monday - Linky Party #138

Its Friday! And what a beautiful Friday it is here in the UK! Spring is definitely here!
And can you believe that this is my 200th post! It wasn't planned, but as my blog is called Paper Panda I am really pleased that this week's Panda Post is the 200th!
The card I have to share with you today is another very simple and quick card made in Serif Craft Artist Professional 2, using an image from the Party Paws digi kits. I am really loving this range - can you tell?! LOL! And I have also fallen in love with this lovely simple layout too - so you have already seen a few cards like this, and will probably see some more :-)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, until next time,
Mandy x
