Week 45 'Rags To Riches'

Good Morning

It is time for me - Mummylade - to host my first challenge here at Allsorts and I am of course a bit nervous :) I guess some of you know that my absolute passion is to alter things around the house so what better challenge than to alter or recycle something. Change a cereal box to a piece of art, cut a piece from an old shirt and use on a card, punch a soda can and make charms, the possibilities are endless. I'm a vintage kinda gal so as a prize this we have a vintage kit for you from my own local craft shop - Scrapbooking4you.

Here is some inspiration for you from the design team:

Week 44 Spring is in the Air

Morning all and welcome to week 44 at Allsorts.

I was so excited to see my lovely snowdrops in the last couple of weeks that I decided to make this week's theme "Spring is in the Air"

I had been worried that after temperatures of -29 this winter that my spring flowers wouldn't make it, but they are hardier than I thought!!

So dig out your Spring colours and get yourself in the Spring spirit!

The prize for this week is a pack of Dovecraft 8x8 papers and some chip board flowers

Please check out the DT girlies projects, they are all gorgeous :o)

Can't wait to hop round all your entries

Before Lisa tells you all about the new challenge we have a couple of announcements to make.  We are all really sad that Jules has decided to step down from Allsorts to pursue new directions in her life. So from us all at Allsorts, we would like to say a huge thank you for all your hard hard work and enthusiasm. We will miss you.  However, we are very pleased to introduce a new member to the Design Team and this is Fleur. She was one of the applicants at our recent DT call and we are so pleased she has accepted our initiation to join our little team. So welcome on board Fleur, we are all looking forward to working with you.

This week it is my turn (Lisa) to set the challenge but firstly I would like to say thank you to everyone who entered Kirsten's Just for Men challenge.  Don't forget to check to see if you were the winner of the £10 voucher from our monthly sponsor Digistamp Boutique or one of Kirsten's Top 5.
