Challenge #10 - A Sketch by Vicki!


Wow such amazing altered items you all created this past week, you've given us all some great ideas......that's the fun thing about crafting, sharing all the creative ideas and techniques, and trying them out for the first time.


Well this week we are going with an old favorite......its a "Sketch", and it's by our own DT member Vicki. She's created a wonderful sketch for you all to follow, so have fun with it.


And this week we have Sir Stampalot as our sponsor




Janice has kindly offered this brilliant 'My Favorite Things - Isabelle Paper Doll set!'




Not only can you buy Stamps from Sir Stampalot, they also have a great range of papers and tools and many more crafty items for any crafters need!




So - a sketch I said and a Sketch we have!

Surprise Two!!!

If some of you were around at the beginning of last month, you may have seen a post which was labelled surprise... From everyone who had participated for the whole of June, we put names in a hat and pulled out a name. That crafter received a surprise package from one of the Design Team Members -

Announcing the New Teamies, and our Guest Designers!!

Hello Everyone!!!
Well, what exciting news do I hold for you today!

Announcing the new Team Members to you of course!!!

Donna and I had so many headaches which we kindly gave each other lol as we couldn't decide who to ask as we had so many fabulous entries!! We got down to three new teamies and had three left to give a place to, and would you know - we couldn't decide on who to chose. So we gave in and have decided to add 6 new Stampin' Teamies...

Congratulations Ladies...

We loved your creations you put forth and we hope you have lots of fun working along side us all, as we are all excited to work with you all!







If you don't know these ladies, hop along to their blogs and have a nosey, they have some fantastic creations on their blogs!!!

Not forgetting the Guest Designers
I have tried to get in touch with many of you via email or leaving messages on your blog, and some have replied, some not.. I will list names here, so please, if you've not realised I've sent an email or left a message on your blog for you to get in touch, and you would like to Guest Design for us, please send me an email to dragon_spirit19@hotmail.com


Once I have had an email and your acceptance to be a Guest Designer, I will allocate you a two week slot, all done at random, which I have in front of me.

I'd just like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who put their name down to either design for us, or to guest design for us! We were over whelmed with all the entries and couldn't get over how many talented ladies are out there!

With the help of the Stampin' Team who kindly went round the entries and wrote down their favorites, I'd like to say thank you too!

With that said, I think I am going to have a nice coffee and relax for a while...

Have a lovely Friday everyone and enjoy your Weekends!!
The Stampin' Team!!

DT and GDT call is now closed!!

Donna and I would like to thank each and everyone of you lovely talented bloggers out there who entered. We had no idea we would have this kind of response and we've had over 100 enteries! Blown over is not the right phrase!! We are amazed beyond belief!

Donna and I now have the major task of looking at who our team members are suggesting and who we would like to be on the team and also to guest design for us.

We will have an announcement on Friday Morning when the new challenge goes live!

We'd like to thank you all once again!

The Stampin' for the Weekend Team
