I love these playful coins. Each one has its own personality. They all have a great stamped background and I love the focal points. I also really like how they are sat on the fabulous tag. A really great make.
Craftyfield, here back for a second inspiration make for the theme I have chosen
for the January challenge, Landscapes/Cityscapes.
I had to use the latest stamps

one that has my heart beating and perfect for the challenge theme… As usual all details are on my blog!
The theme for January is Cityscape/Landscape, chosen by Craftyfield.
For this challenge we want to see countryside or city scenes. Seascapes and mountain scenes are OK too, but a single house even with a garden, a few trees do not constitute a landscape... Feel free to add faeries or critters however, the scenes do not need to be realistic!
