Week 417 - Vintage style

Thank you so much for celebrating our 8th Birthday last week! Beautiful entries!

I'm Mervi here hosting the next week - and as we are now so old, let's have a theme of

********* Vintage Style **********

One of my favourites, hope you like it too! Welcome to join in and have fun!

Our sponsor this week is:

"My name is Suha and I have created Swedish House Crafts in the second part of 2016. It is a little Swedish online shop with lots of enthusiasm for crafting in a different style, dare to be different. Visit SHC and learn more. I have been professionally crafting since 2008, I gave colouring classes (with Promarkers) in Sweden, had exhibition in 2014, and used to make cards and mixed media mainly. I have a master degree in digital and visual design. Yes, 100% of graphics in the shop are my artwork including the logotype. Because I am not leaving my education, I am using it in my passion for paper crafting in the first place. Great combination as the future is full of plans and surprises, hold on and follow SHC on Facebook and blog, you'll find SHC everywhere."

At Swedish House Crafts I run a Blogger of the Month and will be choosing 6 people for the first 6 months of the year. Those who I choose, gets really special offers. All applicants receives £5 voucher automatically after application is complete (with minimum purchase £20).

Please note: If we do not comment on your entry it will be because it does not follow the theme, qualify under our rules, or because we are asked to sign in or provide additional data to comment on third party hosts such as Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Sliptcoast. We do not want to be rude but we do want to be fair to those who do follow the rules.

We are pleased to welcome a Guest Designer this week, Anna a member of the Design Team for Swedish House Crafts who has made this delightful Vintage creation using their products.

Here's the Design Team's samples, enjoy!

Week 416 - Happy 8th Birthday Allsorts

Good morning everyone, welcome to our 8th Birthday celebrations here at Allsorts and the theme is simply.................

********Happy Birthday********

Our Birthday challenge is kindly sponsored by Tattered Lace who are offering a fabulous £50 store voucher for this weeks winner...................and in addition there is a £5.00 voucher for every single entrant to spend at their Crafting store. 

To use your £5 voucher you will need a code which can be found by visiting each of the DT's personal blogs, collecting the nine letters/numbers and re-arranging to create the unique code.......it's a really simple one I promise you, but if you really do get stuck just mail me. Your voucher will be valid from today until Saturday 27th May and is limited to one voucher per entrant, that means even if you enter three times you will only receive one voucher.

Before I move on to this weeks theme I need to say a huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors, some of whom have been with us since we started in 2009, we really appreciate your continued support and 'thank you' often seems inadequate but we hope you know how appreciative we are.

I would also like to take the opportunity to say a massive thank you to the Design Team, a weekly challenge is hard work as no sooner has one challenge started than it's time to start working on the next. The fact that we are celebrating eight years is testament to their tireless commitment to the challenge and it's a pleasure to work with each and every one of you.

Week 415 - Ring a ring O' Roses

A very good morning Peeps, Brenda here with this weeks new theme.

But before I tell you about that a quick reminder in case you missed last weeks post, next Saturday is our 8th Birthday, we have a fun challenge planned and would love you to grab the photo below and share on your own blogs to help us spread the word.

Now for this weeks theme which is.................

******Ring a ring O' Roses******

I am probably taking us all back to our childhood as I am sure most of you know the rhyme, so as the title suggested we want to see Roses on your work, they can be stamped, ready made or even perhaps ones you made yourself, I am sure you will come up with lots of ideas.

We have two super prizes on offer this week, a really pretty floral paper pad and yes there are some Roses in there and a Heartfelt Creations Romantique Garden stamp.

         

Please note: If we do not comment on your entry it will be because it does not follow the theme, qualify under our rules, or because we are asked to sign in or provide additional data to comment on third party hosts such as Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Slipcoast. We do not want to be rude but we do want to be fair to those who do follow the rules.

Lots of Roses from the Design Team, thanks to them all for their inspiration..................
