Week 569 - Add a Bow

Good morning everyone, Lynn here with you today - I hope you checked out Ellie's post yesterday to find out the winner and her top five picks.

For the challenge this week I've chosen the theme of "Add a Bow". It's not something I do very often and I really enjoyed challenging myself! All the DT as usual have some beautiful makes below to inspire you.

The winner this week will be receiving from our sponsor Crafty Ribbons either a ribbon bundle if they are in the UK, or if from Overseas they will get a voucher to spend in-store.

Crafty Ribbons is a ribbon emporium, we are passionate about ribbons and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others. Our range of Christmas ribbons is second to none. Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel ? Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft. Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all! Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths. Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects on our blog,or visit our Inspiration blog,or maybe join in with us at our Challenge blog. Go on, have a look... It's worth it !

Week 568 - Flowers and/or Showers

Hello and welcome! Ellie here today bringing you a new theme and I hope you will join us! Kath's theme had an amazing turnout, and we would love to see all of you joining in this week as well! Be sure to scroll down to the post below this one to see if you were one of our last challenge winners (we had two) or one of the top picks!

So for this week I picked the theme of................

Flowers and/or Showers.

Should be an easy theme and I think very fitting for the month of April. Please note, if using flowers, they do not need to be the focal point, but I do ask that there is more than just a small single flower added.  Feel free to make anything you like..... cards, scrapbook pages, bookmarks, handmade gifts, etc. with any crafty products you like .

This week our prize is this beautiful Studio Light layered stamping floral stamp set.


Below are the pretty creations by the Design Team for your inspiration. To find out more about each creation simply visit the links above the cards. As always, we would love to hear from you!

Unfortunately neither winner claimed their prize so they will go back into the prize box

Please contact Brenda before the 23rd of April with your details but please note that due to the current situation it may be a while before Brenda can post the prize off to you.
