March challenge

Good morning, as we head into Spring in our part of the world there could really only be one theme this month......

**Anything Stamped option Spring is in the Air**

We hope that lots of you will go with the option (see further down which explains every reason why) this month and share lots of lovely fresh Spring flowers and images. As always the focal element of your entry must be hand stamped (or digital), a small stamped sentiment added to an otherwise non stamped piece of work is not eligible and will be deleted.

We have three prizes from Penny Black this month but with a twist, all eligible entries will go into the draw for two prizes, and there will be another draw from entries using the Spring option for the third prize which is the adorable little girl with her Tulips.

Prizes from Penny Black, clear stamp set Sublime, XOXO die and The Bunch stamp set.

Just take a look at all the colourful Spring creations from the Design Team, thank you teamies....

February winners and Top 4

Hello everyone, it's time to announce our February winners and Top 4, so many lovely entries and as always you amaze us with your creativity and continued support, thank you all.

The winners as selected by Random Org., are ~~Kym no 8~~ (claimed) and MeSi no 29 (not claimed, back in prize box).

Well done to you both, please mail me with your full names and postal addresses so I can send your prizes.

Now for our Top 4 and every now and then we like to explain how our top picks are selected. The team all have their own individual styles so each DT selects their four favourite entries, this means all entries have an equal chance of being selected. At the end of each month we apply votes to each DT's top picks, votes are applied, added together and those with the most votes become our Top 4.

So here we go with the top selection for February and in first place and the person we would like to invite to be our April Guest Designer is entry 26 Lorraine with this beautiful Spring creation, please mail me so I can tell you all our our theme that month....
