Hi there lovely friends....
My name is Kassa (Karen Hayselden) - eeek! so excited to be here!
I'm from a glorious part of England - Yorkshire
I live there with my hubby, beautiful daughter and my furry gang, consisting of 3 dogs, Leo the Leonberger, Sammy the Pug and...lol Ruby the Leonberger who often likes to get involved with 'our' art, tis her big nose, its often covered with gesso, paints and glitters!
When it comes to art, I'll give anything a go but my real love is mixed media filled with tiny detail....details that take me into my own little world and imagination - a happy place to be.....creating 'happy' art......and more often than not on the wacky, quirkier side!
A few years ago I started my Stampotique 'addiction' just can't get enough of these beauties and oh boy I'm über excited as I have my very own design range coming out with Stampotique in (February/March) I'm combusting with the wait heeheehee! But till then I'm busy creating samples using my 'new' Stampotique designs that will be revealed over here at Stampotique, in 'Making Cards' & 'CraftStamper' magazines.
To go peek at my blog here's the link - ‪kassadh.blogspot.co.uk
But for more up to date posts (almost daily) you can always find me over on my Facebook address = https://www.facebook.com/Kassa.dh

We are no longer accepting creations using digi stamps.  These will be deleted, we appreciate those that play with us each week and we welcome those using rubber or clear stamps.


Please link DIRECTLY to your creation, not to your blog.  You MUST  include the challenge # (which can be found at the Stampotique Designer's Challenge blog) behind your name (any not linking directly to your creation AND having the challenge # will be deleted and not eligible for prize).   For example if I'm entering it would look like this-

**Change to Stampotique submission rules:  You will now have until the first challenge of the following month to submit your entries-we will only have one Inlinkz per month; so today marks the start of the challenges for November and it will run through the close of our last challenge for November which will be December 1st, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. EST**
