May challenge - feeling off colour?

Well here we are at the first of the month again ;o)  Hopefully Summer will be along shortly because I don't know about you but I could really do with some warm sunny weather to lift my spirits!

Well once again many thanks to all those who took part in our April challenge, I shall be along next week with the winner and the top three - please make sure you check back to see if you are the winner of the voucher to spend online!

Just before we head on to our May challenge I would like to welcome the newest member of our design team who joins us this month so welcome to Valou - I hope you will all welcome her warmly ;o)  Also, I would like to send love to another DT member Sharon, who has been rather unwell lately.  I hope she is feeling a little better and will be back with us very soon!  That brings us neatly to our May challenge which has the theme of;

Get Well Soon

It's always nice to send something special to someone who is unwell especially in this age of emailing rather than the more personal letter.  So it could be a Get well soon card or it could be a gift that you might send to someone who is unwell to make them feel better.  All crafts are welcome so please do join in.
There will be a £10 voucher for the winner to spend online at Ladybug Crafts plus a top three who will get a Top Three badge to display on their blog ;o)

So here is a little inspiration from the design team;

Valou

Sam

Please pop over to the design team blogs and leave some love as they do this in their own free time free of charge, for which I am so very grateful ;o)

I hope you will join in this month for our challenge (and if you scroll down to the post for  March's winner there is the chance to win a La Blanche stamp if you leave a comment. I shall be picking a winner this week) we look forward to seeing your fab projects

April Winner and Top Three

Hi all (and to begin an apology.  I posted this well over a week ago but then Gail left a comment saying she hadn't seen the April winners post so I came into Blogger and there was the post sitting in my drafts!  So I am so very sorry that this is so late).

So onto the winner of the £10 voucher for Ladybug Crafts online shop

85 - Andy L-B

Congratulations.  Email me HERE with blog winner in the subject line and I'll get your voucher code to you ;o)

Top 3 are;

35 - Shell

71 - Katie Tate

76 - Susan Kennedy

If you would like a little Top 3 badge for your blogs please email me HERE with Top 3 in the subject line and I will email you a badge ;o)

Thank you so much to everyone who entered the challenge and please give it a go this month too - I know the topic is a little depressing (get well soon) but a card really brightens the day if you're feeling under the weather (trust me I know!).  If we get a few more entries I may up the prize a little too ;o)  Also please let your crafty friends know that we are hereand if there are any challenge themes you would like to see leave me a comment and I'll see if I can put it in the next block of challenges.

On a final note we are changing website hosts for the online store at the moment so I do apologise if anyone is having any difficulties with the store.  If you are please get in touch with me and I promise to sort them out as fast as is humanly possible.  When it is up and running I will be adding lots of new stock too.

April Challenge - Lets leap into Spring!!

Hello everyone.  Happy Easter to all of you - I hope you haven't eaten too many Easter eggs and that you're all feeling up to a new challenge!

Thanks to all of you who entered our March challenge and I will be drawing a winner and a top 3 over the next few days so don't forget to keep a look out to see if it's you who will be receiving the £10 voucher to spend online.

I'm sorry it's been a little quiet on here for the last month or so but I have been rather unwell - not helped by all of the cold weather we've been having in the UK - I am hoping to put together a giveaway very soon and am also expecting to add lots of new yummy stock t the shop as soon as I can ;o)  Anyway, let's hope that the weather improves a little and that we get some much needed sunshine now that Spring is officially here.  On that note let us move onto our April challenge which this month has the theme of;

Spring  !!!
So you can enter any type of crafty project that follows this theme, whether it be Spring images or just Spring like colours.

The prize will be another £10 voucher to spend at  Ladybug Crafts

So onto a little inspiration from the design team;

We'd love it if you can join in with our Spring challenge and we look forward to seeing all your amazing creations.  You can enter up to three times and all you need to do is enter via the linky tool at the bottm of this post.

Hi everyone - well it's March already!!  Where does the time go?  On the plus side hopefully we'll soon be getting some sunnier, warmer weather which always makes me feel better :o)

Finally I am so sad to say goodbye to our fab DT member Sue at Bearhouse Creations :(  I hope she can come back and join us again very soon.  Thank you so much Sue for your fab work.  However, this means I do have another DT postion open for anyone who is still interested.  If you would like to join us please email me HERE with a link to your blog so I can see your creations.  I don't at the moment have the ability to send lots of product but hopefully that may change in the future as there are more plans for the store etc ( I just have to stay well long enough to put them all into action!) .  However, your work will be seen by the many people that have been joining in our blog challenges and who knows who might be looking ;o)  

Anyway, I'll be off for a while and I am going to try to work out how to put a gallery on the blog to display the great works of the DT ;o)
