Week 97 - Blooming Blossoms

Hello peeps, Brenda here and it's my turn to host the challenge, but first a huge thank you for all your gorgeous entries last week, I didn't envy Deb's the task of selecting her Top 5 one little bit.

Now you can all give a wry grin and say "now there's a surprise" when I tell you the theme is:

Bloomin' Blossoms

I know, I know, I am so transparent but I just love my flowers and all things botanical so I hope you will all join in and share some blossoms with us.

The prize for this weeks winner will be 6 images of your choice from Sally-Ann at Digistamp Boutique and you will be spoilt for choice when you take a peek at what she has available.

Our Guest Designer this month is a little different to usual as we are welcoming some of the DT from our sister challenge Penny Black at Allsorts. And first up is Tracy who has created this gorgeous card for us:

Now for the Design team who have again pulled out all the stops again and created some lovely pieces of artwork to help get your creative juices flowing. Don't forget you can click on any of their names and check out all their other work on the personal blogs.

Week 95 - Make a gift box

Morning,
it's time for another challenge and this week I (Helene) will be hosting it. I want you to make a gift box cause that is something that I totally love. And it gives me a great opportunity to hop around and get inspiration - and perhaps a new template or two - from all the participants this week. Yey me! =)

As a sponsor we have Stitchy Bear Stamp who has kindly offered a £10 voucher to one lucky winner.

Get some inspiration from the Design team below and start folding =).

Week 94 Luck o' the Irish

Good morning all and welcome to week 94 at Allsorts. I don't know about you but I can't believe we have been going for 94 challenges!!!!

Thanks to everyone who entered into Kirsten's Teenage challenge there really were lots of fabulous cards and projects. I am glad that I don't have to pick the top 5 thats for sure.

As it is St Patrick's Day next week I (Amanda) am challenging you to use "The Luck o' the Irish" as your inspiration. Anything Irish, anything for Good Luck, or even just lots of green, or whatever inspiration you get :o)

This weeks our sponsor is :

We now have our own exclusive stamp ranges with International artists images from Hannah Lynn, Sara Burrier, Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Molly Harrison and more....

We have now recently added digi stamps to our store too!We love the different ranges of stamps and crafts that we get from all over the world and we hope you will love them too.... Our aim is to give you the best possible customer service that we can, and to treat our customers just as we would want to be treated ourselves.

We are a small family Craft business that came about when as a card making family, my daughters and young granddaughters and I Could never find the stamps and crafts that we had seen advertised! So, in the end we decided to start up Crafts and Me, so that we could get the products we wanted not only for us, but to offer to other crafters like you.
Once again we welcome Theresa as our Guest Designer
