HLS October ATC Challenge

Posted on Thursday, October 11, 2018 by Kylie with 2 comments

Hi there and welcome to our ATC Challenge. If you haven't made an ATC before, you really should give it a go :) Why not challenge yourself to make at least one for this challenge - warning - you may become addicted..

A few rules for creating ATCs -

• measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches (64 X 89 mm)

• be traded for other cards - not sold

• be flat enough to fit into a plastic trading card sleeve

For our challenge this month, you may like to concentrate on a set of Christmas ATCs (or maybe just one!), you may like to use travel.. it's up to you however you would like to use our theme.

If you are struggling for inspiration, check out the Design Team below -

Aren't they brilliant? Check out their blogs to see how they came up with these awesome little creations.

Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

IF YOU USE STAMPS BY HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS AND YOU ARE OUR RANDOM WINNER, YOUR PRIZE WILL BE DOUBLED!

Over to you!

HLS October Anything Goes with Dies Challenge

Posted on Tuesday, October 09, 2018 by Kylie with 17 comments

Hey there! We are full swing into our challenges now. Just this one and our ATC challenge to go for October. Is time flying for you?

Before we get started with the challenge, we have some sad news to share with you.

One of our former Designers, Melissa Lane, has suddenly passed away. In the words of her husband Chris, Melissa went to be with Jesus.

Melissa was an amazing woman and far too young to be gone. Her husband and 4 children are absolutely crushed, obviously. Many of us here at Happy Little Stampers had the pleasure of meeting the entire family (including their pet rabbit) when the Lane's drove all the way from Germany to meet with us for the HLS Craft Retreat in the UK, 2016.

For me (Kylie), personally, that was a weekend I will never forget and am truly blessed to have Melissa and her family there. I am blessed to have known her and to have met her. We spoke at length about her family, how they couldn't wait to get back home once Chris had retired and settle down. When she skyped her parents, I had to say G'day :)

We had spoken on the phone a couple of times. We had spoken that after she had moved back to the US, I was to come and visit her on my next trip over from Australia. I won't get to see her now but I know that there is one more angel 'upstairs'. Though we and her family have suffered a tremendous loss... I am now lost for words. I am still in a state of shock. RIP our dear friend, Melissa.

As always our challenge is
