Hi there,
Hubby's away so I've been free to play!!! He's gone off on an annual reunion boys night, in sunny Plymouth!! So, the door closed and I hit the ToC (that's Table of Craftiness if you didn't know) ....

Someone on facebook posed a tricky crafting question:
You are going on a trip. You can take pre-cut white card stock and ONLY 5 other items, to include ONE stamp set. What would you take ? If you can, share a picture of the stamp set.
Here's my FIVE, based purely on the trip taking place TODAY - you KNOW how your faves change!!!
Feel free to add your choice of FIVE in comments .. if I get more than ten people posting their FIVE then there WILL be a prize (FOLLOWERS and UK posting only, sorry). I'll be closing the book on this on Friday Feb 24th.
Edited Feb 24th - only five comments contained their "FIVE" which means no prize, as I said I needed ten entries - sorry peeps

Get cards Mate, I do feel for the giraffe with the knot in his neck.
fabby makes - love that green and the stamp - fab combination x
Fab cards kathy
Fab makes again here Kathy, well done you :) Viv xx
Two super cards Kathy. That poor giraffe but I bet he doesn't forget! I love the sentiment stamp on the second card. A very stylish make! Barbxx
These are brilliant Kathy! You know how much I love that giraffe from the Katzelkraft set... makes me giggle every time! And your card for our alphabet challenge is great with the text speak U and embossed alphabet background. Love it! Not sure what my top 5 trip faves would be... I guess black Memento ink, Zigs, a stitched rectangle die (love my stitched card panels!), Altenew Botanical Garden stamps and the matching dies... for today anyway! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)
Two beautiful cards Kathy and the giraffe is such a fun image and perfectly coloured, and the sentiment and script inked with the pretty yellow in the masked circle looks great. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x
Brill catds Kathy - love the animal set and the giraffe is cool! x
Fab cards Kathy! I adore the giraffe, really made me smile. And your LIM card is just perfect! As for which five items I'd take away with me - these days I can barely decide on what to do at home let alone when away :)
Hope you're having a lovely weekend!
Hugs

Lovey card.
Hugs,Petra
LOVE the giraffe card and that thank you card is awesomely CAS and gorgeous.
Cor - your 5 items question is a toughie . . . it would have to be as follows:
1) Stamp set = Custom Tee by SU (good for boys AND girls)
2) Black Memento ink
3) Tub of Promarkers to colour stamped images
4) Scissors
5) Double sided tape/foam pads
Hi Kathy
Lovely zingy colour in your LIM card and great use of the graphic stamps. Fab idea to stamp the reverse side of the envelope too.
Had a huge crafting break but back again and if pressed my 5 items would be Stamp set...anything with sentiments, double sided tape, scissors, Versafine ink pad, sticky fixers.

Fabulous cards, Kathy. I love the way you coordinate your envelopes it just adds so much!

Super cards Kathy, love the thank you sentiment. I've been making thank you cards today and would have loved to use that stamp.
As for my 5 essentials .... just tried to make this list - it's impossible!!
But here goes: stamp set with thank you + images, memento ink, pencils. glue, acrylic stamping block, but I would NOT be held accountable for any card I may produce with this little lot, lol.
That girafe is such a funny stamp; love how you coloured it! And you were quick again at LIM's challenge with such a brilliant design! (Why didn't I make it myself easier?) Love the colour! Hope you have a good weekend!
Two fab card! I love the humour of your first card and the beautiful crisp green of the second. Great design.
a very funny giraffe image!
