May - All things Feminine with Anything Goes option

Welcome to our May challenge where this month we have as always some fabulous prizes and your theme is.................

**Feminine with an Anything Goes option**

So we would like to see hand stamped creations suitable for the girls and ladies, I know so many of you love making feminine creations and there is the added chance of winning as those entries will go into the prize draws twice, but there is always the anything goes option if pretty is just not your thing.

It is your responsibility if entering to make sure you check our challenge rules, it is not our responsibility to read your posts and remind you if you fail to comply. If you do not follow the rules we will simply ignore your entry.
