Allsorts Week 299 The Colour Purple

Hi All

Another week at Allsorts and we have the theme of the colour purple - hurrah i love purple.

I have gone inky again this week (i know something must be wrong :o))

The background is penny black, the butterflies are a mystery and the sentiment is hobby art.

Our lovely sponsors this week are:


Jiggery Makery My name is Adele, I graduated in 2013 with a degree in Interior Design and I am currently a carer for my Grandma but in my spare time I love designing digital stamps. They are mostly inspired by 1940/50s Pin-ups and can be quite sassy. My favorite Pin Up artist is Gil Elvgren, whose work is just stunning. I have been both a crafter and an artist alternately all my life but finally feel I have been able to achieve a great balance as a digital stamp designer. Jiggery Makery is my brand, my creative expression and a way to share what I love.

Allsorts Week 297 - Love is in the Air

Hi All

This week we are getting all romantic with ....................

******Loviall Around******

The perfect opportunity to share some of those Valentine makes or perhaps something for Spring weddings.

I struggle with love cards and find this time of year particularly in your face with lots of love themed challenges, adverts and shop windows, however have pulled up my braces and gone inky!



We have two fabulous sponsors this week,......


At Buttons For Brains we specialise in card making kits as well as an increasing range of craft accessories. We chose to focus on card making kits because they allow crafters to try out different ranges of products without the need to buy complete packs of everything needed to create a handmade card. The card making kits all contain top quality materials and are suitable for beginners and experienced crafters alike. They also make great gifts. Beautifully packaged the items are despatched quickly and delivered first class. We know crafters want access to the very latest products and so will be adding new kits and supplies regularly so remember to visit often or even better, sign up for our Newsletter.


Deedee's Digis offers wholesome digital "stamps" and printable digital papers that are the original creations of Deedee Anderson. All of our sets include both outline and pre-colored images, in both JPG and PNG formats. Our products are offered in high 300dpi resolution so that they are fully resizable to meet your crafting needs. We are a Christ-centered company, and you will find that many of our sets include KJV Scripture verses, in addition to encouraging sentiments of all sorts. We feel very blessed to be part of such a talented community of paper crafters, and thank you for allowing us to sponsor your challenges !
