Good morning well another sunny day here I hope the weather is as lovely where you are ..........

Before I give you my (Emma's) challenge for this week i'd like to introduce you to another new regular sponsor

They will be sponsoring the last challenge of each month and have generously donated a £10 gift voucher for the winner and 10% discount for all Allsorts crafters with a special on line discount code...................

The bonus code for the extra 10% off on top of our standard discount is.... TAC10B
It is uppercase and just needs to be entered into the discount box at the checkout.

Here is a little bit about Shelley

'I am Shelley and I live on the East Coast of Yorkshire. I own and run the discount card making store 'One Stop Card Crafts'. I have been card making for a little over 3 years. I started jewellery making intially but became hooked on making cards when my mother- in law introduced me to it. There are only couple of craft stores in my area so thought I would put my business skills to opening an online store. We have been open now for 3 years and I have loved every minute of it. I am mother to 3 lovely boys so working from home is ideal.

We have a great selection of card making and scrapbooking supplies online and offer discount on EVERY order with our very popular customer discount scheme and free delivery in the UK.

Ok back to this weeks challenge This week we have a 'photo inspiration' challenge I would like you to use the photo below to inspire your card, I cant wait to see which parts inspire you !

Dont forget to see if you were the winner of Fleur's Stitching challenge last week there was a huge response you must all love stitching wether t be real or faux.. or maybe you were one of her top 5......

Happy Crafting!!!

Please check out the beautiful creations frm the DT this week I think you will agree they are superb... and if you get a chance why not visit their blogs and leave a little crafty love....

Challenge #46 - No DP's

Good morning and welcome to another challenge here at Allsorts.
Thank you to all that found time to 'recycle or alter' something for Helene's challenge last week. Don't forget to check back to see if you are the very lucky chosen one of the gorgeous prize or has Helene picked you as her Top5?

On to this week's challenge and as this week takes us into a new month we have our fabulous regular monthly sponsor with us Sally-Ann from Digistamp Boutique

One lucky winner will have £10 to spend online - you will be spoilt for choice from all the wonderful images available.

So what's the theme I hear you shout?

Well, this week I (Debs) challenge you to create something without using any (ready-made) Design Papers. Of course you could have a go at creating your own or you could keep it really simple and have none at all, maybe even do some embossing - whatever you like or better still have a go at something you wouldn't ordinarily do.

As always we have some fabulous inspiration from the DT to share with you:
