Week 811

Hello everyone, Ellie here today introducing a new theme and hopefully you will join us this week for a chance to win or for a spot in our top 5. For this week I selected the optional theme of 

Lots of White

or

Anything Goes

Would love to see how the optional theme inspires you but as always all your new crafty makes (up to 3 at the moment) are welcome and all will be considered for the Top 5 or a prize, so hopefully you'll join us this week. Please remember, to be eligible for prizes and Top 5 selection, you must include details of focal products used on your entry.

Before we get to the DT inspiration here is a little reminder about the upcoming changes to our regular challenges:

From next week 21st December, all future challenges will be every fortnight. 

From that date you will be able to enter each challenge five times and we will move to a Top 7 selected from entrants of each challenge.

Allsorts is now in it's sixteenth year and we are so pleased that thanks to some very generous patrons we will continue to offer physical prizes for every challenge.

This week there are three prizes from AALL and Create, the pretty border and floral stamps below.

Lots of wonderful inspiration from the Design Team. As always you can find out more about each project by visiting their individual blogs. We'd love to hear from you!
