Hi folks welcome to another challenge here at crafty sentiments and to another fab new release! This wk it is my turn (Rebekah) to host the challenge and it is a little bittersweet for me as this is my last DT post here at crafty sentiments. It has been wonderful working with the fabulously talented team over the last 14 months and I want to say a fond farewell to all the DT and also a big thanks to Suzette for giving me the opportunity to be on this team.
So to kick it all off here is what we are showcasing to you today, some gorgeous new baby stamp releases and the fab new vintage label crafty cutter die! The teddy bear stamp is available as a digi.

And the challenge for this wk? Well we want you to use banners/ bunting/ flags on your creations. That isn't all! We are also looking for a new GDT! Thanks to the wonderful Tanya for being our recent GDT it has been a pleasure sharing her work. So if you would like a chance to be considered for the new GDT position pleased just pop GDT after your name when entering this challenge.
Now onto the fab creations with these new stamps, new sentiments and new die cut from the brilliant DT, we hope we can inspire!..
