The Design team have loved crafting with the new range but I think I have loved it the most lol. I remember having decoupage of these cuties when I first started crafting.I am so excited that they are now stamps. They are perfect for all ages and there are some fab images for those difficult to make male card!. So we're celebrating the launch of this gorgeous new collection on Friday 28th September by giving you a chance to see some sneak peeks and have the chance to win a great prize!

All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is visit each of the Design Team members blogs. They will each be showing you some of their fabulous Toread creations. Once you've been inspired, simply head back over to the Crafter's Companion News blog and leave a comment on their blog hop post, saying which is your favourite Toread character and why.

One winner will be drawn at random after 10am on Friday 28th September, and will be notified by email.

I have stamped this onto Neenah card and coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens. I will do a tutorial soon how to create a leafy/camouflage look for those who are interested.

I have used the papers from the CD-Rom and added some netting and a button (tied with twine). The sentiment was created using the verse writer from the CD too –how useful is that!
