Week 169 - It's a gift

Good morning to you all, Brenda here with our new challenge and this week I've come up with:

It's a gift

As you might guess from the title the idea is to make anything but a card, it can be a gift box, gift bag, a tag or even an actual gift that you have made for somebody be it paper crafting, needlework, jewellery or how about some home-made cupcakes, after all this is 'Allsorts' challenge.

We have two sponsors this week, first up Sir Stampalot who have a very special weekend going on, starting today with Claire Rowland's the artist behind the Molly Bloom's range of stamps who will be demonstrating here new Summer Bonus Collection all day today from 10 to 4, then on bank holiday Monday they'll been more live demo's. Lots of brand new Christmas products will be on display to buy including Hero Arts, Woodware, Stampendous, Adorable Scorables from Hunkadory, Bunch of Berries embellishments from Marianne, plus so much more that you won't want to miss out on the weekend. And don't forget your camera as there will be loads of inspiration on display.

The prize from them is a set of four art Impression stamps:

Our second sponsor who we welcome back is My Heart Pieces, they offer a beautiful range of very different and inspirational digi images and are offering one lucky winner their own choice of four images.
