Week 685 🎄

Hi everyone, it's Pauline here to welcome you to another Allsorts challenge. I have chosen the theme this week and it is

*** Christmas in July ***

If you're anything like me you make a vow every January to get ahead with your Christmas makes to prevent the last minute rush and panic ... but have you actually made any yet?? So far I have made ..err ... two!! So this theme has given me the opportunity to increase that total by 50% at a stroke, and we hope it will encourage you to join us and tick some more off your own Christmas lists!

This week we have two fabulous prizes for our winners - firstly a £15 store voucher from Pearlywinks

Pearlywinks craft supplies is a family run business based in Manchester, the business was established in 2018 by Simon and Donna who have been avid crafters for at least 20 years following on in family footsteps. The business has grown from less than 10 ink sprays to over 100 different ink products, Texture Paste, Stamps, Stencils and a selection of mediums. All of our inky products are made in house and we try to have our products made by other UK based companies. We have been featuring on the craft channel Hochanda on a monthly basis since the company began. 

Secondly we have this lovely Christmassy Sizzix die.

Everyone on the Design Team has been getting into the festive spirit to inspire you ...

First I would like to thank this week's Guest DT member Anesha

and also thanks to the rest of the team.

So I hope you'll all join us getting into the festive spirit, and we all look forward to seeing your entries. I'll be back on Friday to announce this week's winners and top 5 - good luck.

We aim to comment on all entries at least once, usually more…but not all DT’s have access to third party hosts such as as Pinterest, Splitcoast, Flickr and Facebook so will be unable to leave a comment. However, as long as those entries are eligible for the theme they will still be included in draws and Top 5 picks.

Those leaving a comment or entering a piece of artwork into Inlinkz do so in the knowledge that their name and blog link are visible to all who visit this blog and in so doing have published their own personal details and consented to our use of that personal information should it be selected as a winner or accredited work.

Hello everyone, Ellie back here today as it is time to announce the winners and my top 5 for my Flora/Fauna/AG challenge theme. Thank you all so much for joining us. It was wonderful seeing so many of you playing along and most of you embraced the Flora and/or Fauna theme too! But whether Flora or Fauna were used or not, everyone was entered into the drawing for these 2 prizes - a die set from Highlight Crafts and a floral stencil.  

And the lucky numbers are..............................

That would be  Hilary and Maxine.

Congratulations to both of you! Please be sure to message Brenda (info can be found on the side bar) with your full postal address by next Thursday July 14th to claim your prizes. We also have a winner's badge on our sidebar so feel free to post that to your own blogs too!

No. 19 Lia

No. 25 Aquarius

No. 52 Mummylade

No. 62 ScrappyHorses

No. 65 Vicky

No. 84 Crafty

I realize that is a top 6, I do apologize to my teamies for miserably failing with this task this week but they truly were a tie and I could not take any of these out!! (My first time ever where I simply couldn't decide - so sorry!!)

Congratulations everyone! Well deserved recognition! You can find your Top 5 logo on our sidebar to proudly display on your own blogs!

A new theme starts tomorrow so hope you'll join us again!

Week 683 🌿 🌼

Hello and welcome! It's Ellie here today bringing you a new challenge theme and I'm so glad you stopped by to check it out! As always we'd love for all of you to join us for your chance to win one of the prizes up for grabs! Be sure to also check the post below to see if you were one of last week's prize winners or in Lynn's top 5. There were many fabulous girly entries!

This week I picked a super easy theme...................

 

Flora and/ or Fauna

w/option of Anything Goes

Flora and fauna refer to plants and animals in the broadest sense of the words, meaning pretty much all life on Earth.

Super easy and so many choices, but we do have an "Anything Goes" option this week too, so feel free to link up all your new crafty makes. 

Below are our prizes, there will be two winners, a die set from Highlight Crafts plus second prize of a floral stencil. Remember you may enter up to 3 times with a new post/ creation for more chances to win!
