Challenge 10

Thanks to everyone who played along with Beth's sketch for our last challenge. We always enjoy visiting your blogs and it was great to see how many ways you came up with to alter your flowers.

As usual we've used Random.Org to chose the lucky winner who will receive a gorgeous Whiff of Joy stamp. Our winner this week is No.19, Dianne (Crazycraftshed) - congratulations. Please email us so we can arrange to have your stamp sent to you.

Onto this weeks challenge and its a sketch from me (Sharon) with the additional challenge of using some of your neglected stash. Have a good rummage through your drawers and dig out some stamps, papers and embellishments that you've forgotten you had!


We're delighted to welcome back Crafty Individuals as our sponsor this week. They have a huge range of gorgeous stamps and the winner of this challenge will win these three stunning stamps:



We're joined this week by our first Guest Designer Elaine who will be with us for four challenges. This is Elaine's gorgeous card:

Challenge 9

A big thank you to everyone who made cards for our last challenge (more than one fold). The cards you made were fantastic; so many amazing designs and a lot of work went into some very intricate cards.

We have two winners to announce this week and we have used Random.Org to pick both. Because Mister Linky joined us a bit late I have made sure that all entries linked through the comments page were also included in the draw. Our first winner who wins six of Christine Dark's fantastic digi images is No.27, Kate T. Congratulations Kate, please contact me so we can arrange for you to choose your images.

And our second winner will join the Truly Scrumptious team as our first Guest Designer. I am excited to announce that will be No. 39, Elaine (Simpli Crafti). Congratulation Elaine, please email me so I can send you your Guest Designer button and details for our next challenge!

Our DT member Beth has design a fabulous sketch for this weeks challenge; Thanks Beth. And our theme for this challenge is 'altered flowers'. I know how much everyone loves adding blooms to their cards but we would like you to only use flowers that have be changed in some way. You can use Primas, stamped flowers, punched flowers, any flowers you like but you must alter them in some way - stamp them, re-shape them, spray them, ink them etc.,etc.


We are delighted to welcome back Whiff of Joy Stamps as our sponsor this week. Do visit their webshop to take a look at the fabulous range of stamps and they have an exciting new release coming up on 14th June - a gorgeous 'Wedding & Baby' collection designed by Elisabeth Bell. The winner of this challenge will receive the 'Shy Willow' stamp:


The design team have made some gorgeous creations which will hopefully inspire you:
