Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #225 - Anything But Square

Goodness!  I can't believe that I have put up a blog post over the last week - I don't know where the time has gone!  However, what I do know is that it's time for another challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge, and this week the theme is Anything But Square.  So I went for a good old rectangle!

I guess you could say that I am going through a "clean and simple" phase of crafting at the moment - though I think that generally for my cards that is the case, I am definitely enjoying the simplicity of an image with a sentiment simply layered up on a card base - very effective don't you think?!

There are two fabulous prizes this week, so pop on over to http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.co.uk/ and join in:
Bugaboo Stamps - 7 digi images
Little Blue Button Stamps - $10 gift certificate
