Winners!

Evening, I would like to apologize for the delay in getting the prizes out to people and picking the winners the past couple of months.  I've had personal issues that I've been dealing with.

Anyhoo, the winners for June and July are....

Donna Mundinger and Jenny H!

Please email me at sunifla1 (at) comcast.net.  I will be sending packages out this next weekend.

Thank you.

Thank You!

We just want to say a HUGE thank you to our amazing design team that does all this amazing work for us here. 


And a special thanks to Pat today as she has resigned from the team, but has been here with us quite a while.  Much appreciated and hope you keep playing with us once in a while so we can see you work!

And it's exciting to see all the cards already for the challenge this month!  Keep them coming...

Cheers,
Colleen and Lesley

August Challenge!

July was another amazing month for card entries and we can't wait to see more!
Hope you have some time to play this month!

August Challenge
There is a list below of products that can be used for your cards. You need to use 4 of them on your card - your choice! For example, my card might used a stamped sentiment (Stamping), Striped paper (Stripes), Inking and ribbon. It may also have some glitter and brads and that's fine too! Extras are alright!

If you do more than one card, you can use different products!

Chipboard
Hand stitching
Ribbon
Inking
Stamping
Textured paper (embossed is good!)
Metal embellishments
Alphabet stickers or rub-ons for the sentiment
Stripes

Here's some inspiration from the design team...
