Week 301 - Spring is in the Air

Good morning crafts, Brenda here with our new theme and as it's March there could only be one for me really which is...........................

******Spring is in the Air******

I know, I am pretty predictable but I so love this time of year with all the lovely fresh greens, yellows and pretty blossoms, renewed growth in the gardens and hedgerows and longer days with the birds busily building their nests........you see I really can get carried away, so promise I will say no more and look forward to seeing all your creations.

We have two great sponsors this week and our first one is Krafty Hands who we are pleased to welcome for the very first time at Allsorts.

Kraftyhands are renowned for their easy to use crafting CDs covering a wide range of occasions which can be used for cardmaking, scrapbooking and home decor projects. They also design many paper craft resources from 12x12 & 6x6 backing papers to card making sets and toppers. They have showcased their products on Create Craft and appear on the new British Craft Network Internet TV channel which started last October. Their website address is www.kraftyhands.co.uk.

Our second sponsor is Deedee's Digis.

Deedee's Digis offers wholesome digital "stamps" and printable digital papers that are the original creations of Deedee Anderson. All of our sets include both outline and pre-colored images, in both JPG and PNG formats. Our products are offered in high 300dpi resolution so that they are fully resizable to meet your crafting needs. We are a Christ-centered company, and you will find that many of our sets include KJV Scripture verses, in addition to encouraging sentiments of all sorts. We feel very blessed to be part of such a talented community of paper crafters, and thank you for allowing us to sponsor your challenges !

Here's a sweet card Tamara from Deedee's Designs has made for us using First Peak of Spring.....................

Now for some inspiration from the Design Team and as always they have some wonderful creations to share with you.......................

Week 298 - Any occasion than Birthday

Hi All

Thanks to everyone that joined in with last weeks love is all around challenge, please check if you are a winner or in our top five.

This week it is me (Tracy) setting the theme and i have chosen

"ANY OCCASION OTHER THAN BIRTHDAY"

Plenty of scope for new baby, anniversary, Christmas, Easter, mothers day etc., all i ask is that it is not birthday and it is for another occasion!

Our lovely sponsors this week are:

Jiggery Makery My name is Adele, I graduated in 2013 with a degree in Interior Design and I am currently a carer for my Grandma but in my spare time I love designing digital stamps. They are mostly inspired by 1940/50s Pin-ups and can be quite sassy. My favorite Pin Up artist is Gil Elvgren, whose work is just stunning. I have been both a crafter and an artist alternately all my life but finally feel I have been able to achieve a great balance as a digital stamp designer. Jiggery Makery is my brand, my creative expression and a way to share what I love.

I am also going to provide a small crafty prize this week

Thanks to my teamies for their beautiful work.....
