Say It With...A Male Card Favourite

Hi all, just me again :)  Sorry I didn't get a chance to do this before the new challenge went up but I wanted to be sure to get around and leave a comment first.  
We had a gorgeous batch of male cards to inspire us this week!  I know I definitely need a hand when it comes to producing anything other than pretty, and with 4 males in the house you'd wonder why that would be lol!  As always it's hard to just pick one, but this weeks $5.00 voucher goes to Michelle with this great CAS card :

Love the colours - can't beat kraft - and distressing is one of my all time favourite techniques!  Congrats Michelle!  Be sure to email me and I'll get the details of your prize and blinkie code to you!
Also I forgot to mention we have some new sets coming out next week!!!  This is very exciting because they are new Christmas mini sets here just in time to get some creating happening!!
Hugs for now,
Andrea

AnnaBelle Blog Hop

Here we are once again with our first hop for the month and some fun sharing another of our new sets Dotted Flowers!  This set will be discounted by 20% for the next two weeks!!

This is a great set for pulling together a card very quickly, and has so many possiblities!  

BREAKING NEWS!

If you haven't been to the shop in awhile we have a couple of surprises that are new!  Firstly all 4x4, 6x4 and 6x8 sets have been reduced in price!! and secondly we are now offering FREE standard postage on ALL orders over $75.00!!  How amazing is that!  Now this works very simply and you don't have to do anything extra, or key in any codes, it's all worked out on the spot!  Because here in Australia we have to include our local tax in the advertised price if you are not from Australia as soon as you sign in your address will tell the site to show you the price excluding our tax!

This is a perfect way to kick start our birthday celebrations which commence this Thursday!
