Winners announcement delayed

Hi friends; I'm really sorry but the winner's announcement post won't be up until tomorrow.  I'm not feeling very well tonight but will get it done as soon as I can in the morning.  I apologise for keeping you all waiting a little longer but it will be worth it I promise you. 

I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Week 770 - include an insect

Good morning and welcome back to our lovely crafters; we can’t wait to share our first challenge of 2025.  We hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and managed to fit in some crafting over the holiday period.  The last month has just whizzed by hasn’t it!  We would like to say a big thank you for all your support in 2024 and we hope you will continue to support us this year.  We were blown away by all your lovely entries for our Mega Christmas challenge; it was amazing to see them all and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing all of our lucky winners – how exciting!

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2, and she has given us the fun theme of ‘include an insect’.  As the title suggests Linda wants to see any insect on your creations this week; i.e. bees, ladybugs, butterflies etc.  I don’t think it can get any easier than that to start us off this year.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  So pull out your favourite markers and get colouring.  Sadly Linda is not joining us for this challenge as she is taking an extended break due to work and house renovations so I will be choosing the top 5 on her behalf this week.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Clearly Besotted Stamps and the lovely Stephanie has given us a £15.00 voucher for one lucky winner to spend in their online store. 

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

On an extended break

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Don’t forget to pop back later to see if you are one of our lucky winners from our Mega Christmas challenge; as we have lots of winners there will be no top 5, but this will re-start again this week with Linda's challenge.  

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
