A New Challenge and New Team Members

Good Morning Everyone, Wow here we are on challenge #14 already, and it was so lovely to see such fabulous baby creations last week as in cards, books, cartons, etc. You certainly are a creative lot, and it gives us all some ideas when we see such beautiful works.

This week we are going with a color challenge.......with three colors, ORANGE, TEAL AND PINK. Now you may be thinking, that's going to be a tough one, but once you see what our team has come up, you'll agree, those colors look fabulous together.

We've got a fabulous new sponsor this week......The Craft Barn, who is offering our lucky winner this week a £15 gift voucher for their shop. Oh what I wouldn't do to win that.......LOL. I spent that on the weekend while they were having a Bank Holiday sale, but I left some things behind...so I could really use it....but alas I can't enter. But one of you lucky crafters can and will win it.
This week we have as a guest designer Lorraine. who has some lovely cards on her blog.

Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate - Week 6

Welcome to week six everybody! We hope you had a fabulous time choosing which sketch to use and an even better time creating your cards last week. We loved looking at every body's blogs and leaving comments. What an amazing bunch of people you are! All of your cards are fab! It was nice to see some old faces and new! The team had a tough decision making the top 5 choice and Donna and myself were finding it hard to pick some winners too!

I have some sad news for you all this week. It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to some of our Design Team. We say a reluctant goodbye to Ida, Jen and Poppet this week. They will be missed greatly and I hope that they visit us and join us in a challenge or two. We wish them well and I'm sure you will all see them around in Blog Land and on the Design Teams that they are still part of! Good Luck ladies and THANK YOU so much for your fabulous creations these past five/six weeks and your friendships!

However, on a lighter note, I'd like to introduce to you, two new members who will be joining us as of next week! They are Nancy (our guest designer from 26th June and 3rd July) and Sheila (our first challenge winner). I hope you will welcome them aboard this fine Stampin' ship to start their new journey on our Design Team!

This weeks challenge we have a little inspiration for you. As the title suggests we have a colour combo for you of RED AND BROWN This week we would like you to take some inspiration from the two photos below. I had great fun with the strawberries, and guess what, they tasted delicious after I'd taken the photo! They were from the garden and I couldn't resist! The Tulip photo is from our wonderful Teamie Nicola. So I hope using the title and the colours below you find some real inspiration.

Strawberries dipped in Chocolate

Red Tulips and the Natural Brown Earth colour

This week, our sponsor is the lovely Heidi from Simon Says Stamp is again offering the lucky winner a fabulous gift voucher of $25 to spend in the shop. I wish I was able to enter!

This week, the team have worked hard and used the colour theme of red and brown inspired by the two photographs!

With out further-a-do

It's Launch Day.....and The First Challenge

We hope you've all been eagerly awaiting this day as has our Fabulous Design Team and ourselves, and it's finally here.
You've all seen the wonderful prize we're offering up for the first challenge, one lucky crafter is going to receive it all......will it be you?


*************************************************************************
To get things started, we're starting with an easy theme, it's a color theme and we call it "From Dusk to Dawn" using the colors Purple and Yellow. Not a normal color scheme you see, but Wow those two colors work great with each other, they practically jump off the card at you, and if you don't believe me, take a look at the absolutely gorgeous and stunning creations the Design Team have come up with for some inspiration for you all.

So remember if you'd like a chance at winning this fabulous lot of crafting goodies, we wanna see your beautiful creations. Please post them on your blog with a direct link to the card or project (instructions on how to do this are at the end of this post), and if you'd like to enter but don't have a blog....please email us with your entry and we'll happily post it on the blog. (To email us please look on the sidebar)

So without further ado............here's what we've all been busy creating…
