October Top 4 and winners

Good morning and welcome to our October winners post. We mentioned on our mid month post that some changes are coming, these will be announced on Sunday along with our November challenge, please do check back then.

We saw some fabulous takes on our mood board which made selecting this months top picks especially difficult for the Design Team, luckily Random Org., deals with selecting winners for us and these are the three names he came up with....
 

That's Pat, Cynthia and Gail (all claimed), please all mail me with your full names and postal addressed by Thursday 9th November. Prizes unclaimed by that date will either be re-drawn and winners notified direct, or returned to the prize box.

Now for the Top 4 selection, after counting the Design Team votes I can announce that Elaine entry no 3 (no contact made with us) is the person we would like to join us in December as our Guest Designer, please also mail me by 9th November. 


Closely followed by....
No 77 Mari (December Guest Designer)
No 61 Chris
No 43 Carole

Congratulations all of you, please collect your badge to display on your own blogs.

See you all again on Sunday.

October challenge


Good morning and welcome to our October challenge and this month we have a mood board for you. 

As usual we have some great prizes on offer (see below) as well as the opportunity to be selected as a Guest Designer or be named in our Top 3. You can take you entry in any direction you like and we would love to see the Mood Board reflected in your entries, but if not there is always the Anything Goes option.

Please just remember stamping must be the focal/predominant element of entires, a sentiment or small element such as a Butterfly on an otherwise non stamped creation will not be eligible and deleted. Our rules are here.

Here are the three prizes from Craft Stasha Stamperia Alice collection of stamps with stickers and DP pad, a Woodware Poinsettia stamp and a Stampendous House Mouse stamp.

 
We really hope you will join us this month and that the Design Team's super creations will offer some encouragement and inspiration....

The Design Team have really enjoyed working with the Mood Board as you will see from their lovely samples below, we also welcome Carol as our Guest Designer this month, lovely to have you Carol....
