Week 25 ~ Weddings

Good morning all and Happy Halloween!! Welcome to another challenge at the Allsorts Challenge Blog. This week it is my (Amanda) turn to set the theme and as my step son Nicky and his fiancee LeeAnne got married last Saturday (24th) I thought I would set "weddings" as your challenge.

Your piece can be anything from a wedding card to a piece of wedding stationery (invitations...thankyous...favour boxes etc), scrap book layouts, anniversary cards anything you can think of to do with weddings!

The winner will be selected at random next week and will win a Stampin Up Xmas stamp called "Perfect Presents".

WOW what a huge number of entrants we had this week~over 100! Check back to see who has won the gorgeous Pink Rose Studio stamp from Debs' Furry Friends challenge.

The DT and I are all looking forward to seeing your wedding creations, check out the DT's blogs for inspiration.

Firstly our guest DT member for October Victoria, she has done such a wonderful job for us over the last month, has made so many fabulous creations. We would all like to say a huge thank you Victoria...x

Allsorts week 23

Allsorts Challenge 23

Good morning everyone, I am Brenda and I am pleased to welcome you to week 23 of Allsorts challenge. Time just seems to fly and I really can't believe it's my turn again to set the theme.

******************************************************************

I have come up with a sketch

and would like to see your

Monochrome Christmas

projects. I think many of us consider monochrome to be black and white variants, but according to the ancient Greeks "μονοχρωματικός" means "a picture done in different shades or a range of tones of a single colour". So I really can't wait to see what you all come up with. Here is the sketch.

******************************************************************

This week we are being sponsored by Nikki at Bunny Zoe's Crafts and the prize for one lucky winner is this cute Bildmalarna stamp

Tossa on Ice

Bunny Zoe's Crafts stock all the newest releases for Scrapmagasinet, High Hopes, Wags 'n Whiskers, The Greeting Farm, C.C. Design, Popcorn the Bear, Pink Cat Studio, Belles 'n Whistles, Stampavie and Ollyfant. Nikki has also started her own stamp company Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber stamps
