Last winner/top 3

Hello all - well I am finally around to posting the last winner etc and as I said before I am so sorry for the delay - lots of family health problems which I won't bore you all with! 

So the last winner is;

10 - shellshearer

and the top 3 were;

8 - Margreet

23 - {jennifer-g}

27 - KT Fit Kitty

If you would email me HERE with your address I will send out a little something and if the top 3 do the same I will send something to you too as a sorry for being so delayed.

Hopefully I might start the challenge again in the new year but obviously it depends on what life throws at us in the meantime :) 

thank you so much to everyone who has joined in with the challenges and thanks for your support

Massive Apologies

Hi all.

I am so, so sorry there hasn't been been a blog challenge for the last couple of months./

I did schedule a post explaining with the last winners etc but that seems to have gone missing, I can only assume it's because of my Windows 10 update and my failure to check up on things.

I am unable to run the challenge at the moment just due to familial problems and health etc.

I am so grateful to everyone who has joined in with us over the last couple of years and of course to the fab ladies who have always done some inspirational cards for the posts.

Maybe in the future I might be able to start it up again, but for the time being I just cannot cope with it, which is unfair to everyone who joins in.

I will go now and see if I can recover who the last winners were and re-post them later on.

Thanks to the lady who messaged me which brought to my attention that my scheduled post hadn't gone live.

Thanks again to all who have joined in and apologies once more

July challenge

 

Hi everyone :)

Well July has arrived - I was hoping it wouldn't come around so quickly as I now have to say

 

I'm 40 this month!!

Good grief, where has the time gone LOL.

 

Summer has really arrived too and it is very warm and sticky here and my poor dogs really don't like the heat, so I spend most of the time checking on them to make sure they're not over heating. I'm a worrier at the best of times so this has me in a real tiz.  This is why I'm late today, but at the moment they are lying quietly so they are keeping cool :)

 

So onto the winner for June - thank you so much all who entered, 155 entries which is great, I so love looking at all the crafty projects, they are all fabulous.

But there is only one winner and this month it is;

 

119 - InvisiblePinkCards

 

I have picked 3 for the top 3 but I am definitely going to make time to change the blog badges to say top 5.  I could have chosen everyone as they were all so great. However, I have managed to whittle it down to 3 who are;

 

 

7 - MONIQUE

 

60 - Cards by America

 

111 - Sue Kment

 

If you would all like to email me HERE with blog winner in the subject line I'll pop your blog badges over to you if you would like one.  If InvisiblePinkCards includes an address I'll send you a little something for winning. 

 

Now though we're onto the July challenge which this month is:

 

Special Birthdays

 

All birthdays are special really aren't they so this leaves you wide open to do what you like.  Remember, it doesn't have to be a card, it can be anything as long as it has been hand crafted by you.

Here are a couple of cards to inspire you

 

Wendy

 

Sam

 

I hope you will join in this month with our challenge - although, try not to make it as hard for me to pick a top 3 LOL.  We love looking at all your amazing makes.

 

Stay cool wherever you are and keep crafting :)

June challenge

 

Hi everyone :)

 

Well we are in June so more or less halfway through the year!!  Well at least Summer should well and truly be on its way (at least here in the Northern hemisphere) so we should get some nice weather, but here in the UK you can never be too sure LOL :)

 

Anyway, we had a bit of a quiet month challenge wise so thanks to those that did take part and here are the winner and the top three

 

The winner for May is;

 

8 - Maryvonne C

 

and the Top 3 are;

 

2 - Bubbles, Buttons and Bows

 

13 - Sarah-J W

 

27 - Craftyfield

 

If you would like to email me HERE I will send through your blog badges - if Maryvonne adds an address I'll sort out a crafty prize for you :)  If you could add 'Blog challenge' in the subject line that would be great so I can pick them out from the oodles of other emails I get :)

 

So onto the challenge for June which is;

 

Use your DIES

 

As usual you can enter any crafty project as long as you have made it yourself, so cards, home décor, art pieces, mixed media, journal pages - anything!!!

28 - Hos Dorte

April Challenge - a new start

Hello all - well here we are in April already, time goes so fast!!

So as promised we will restart the blog challenges this month :)

Thank you all so much for bearing with me over the last few months, it has been a difficult time and my husband is still quite poorly but I am determined to get back to normal (well normal for me) and crafting is a massive part of my life.

 

I would love you all to join in with this months challenge, whether you're a regular to this blog or if you're a newby.

So, to start it off I thought we would do everyones favourite challenge;

 

 

Anything Goes

 

You can enter any crafty project as long as you have made it yourself - I really love crochet as well as papercraft so you could enter anything you have crocheted or knitted, a home décor project, a card, anything you have made, you can enter :)

 

Below is a bit of inspiration, just to get you going if your mojo has gone walkabout;

 

 

Wendy

 

Sam

 

So, I would love for you to join in and have loads of fun doing lots of crafting :)

 

There will be a winner and a top three.  There is a winner/top 3 badge for  displaying on winning blogs and I will send the winner a little something to hopefully make them smile.

Blog challenge winners and

Well as promised I am here with winners for December and January.

 

(Late again but I now have the cold virus that half of the UK seem to be down with at the moment!)

 

I am also here to tell you about relaunching the blog challenge as of April 1st.

 

As you know I suffer from a chronic illness and the last couple of months have been incredibly hard for me, not helped by the fact that my husband who is an army veteran has also been particularly unwell :(  However, I feel that things are possibly more level for me now and hopefully when hubby comes home at the end of March, he will be feeling a little better too.

So, the blog challenges will start up again on April the first and it will be

 

Anything Goes

 

for the first month - however, I am going to start up the linky at the bottom of this post so if some of you would like to enter now you can (remember you can enter up to 3 projects).

 

But first the winners for December and January and the top 3 too.

 

Decembers winner is;

 

57 - Cre8ive Cindy

 

And the top 3 for this month are;

 

4 - The Craft Bucket

 

34 - Carol Gill

 

70 - Cebelica

 

The winner for January is;

 

1 - Michelle Lancaster

 

 

and top 3;

 

 

15 - Katie L Oakley

 

29 - Eemeli

 

74 - JennyH

 

If you could email me HERE with either blog winner or blog top 3 I will sort out a little something for the winner plus winner badges and top 3 badges to display on your blogs if you wish to do so :)

So if you want to get an early start on the April challenge you can using the linky below, but I will be back with DT inspiration next month. 
Thank you all so much for bearing with me through what has been a very difficult time and I do hope you'll join in with our Anything Goes challenge for April. - I may do another giveaway alongside the challenge as a little thank you too.

Take care and see you all soon  (linky below)

Hello and a big sorry

Hi everyone.

Sincere apologies that there has been no blog challenge this month and that the December winners haven't been chosen. I have as you know been unwell, but my husband has been very poorly too and is in hospital for 6 weeks at the moment.

I promise I will be along with winners at the weekend and I also hope to get a March blog challenge up and running too.

Thank you so much for your patience and apologies again that I haven't been here.

I hope you'll join in again when I finally manage to get back to normal and start the challenges again.

Best wishes

Sam

Blog Candy :)

Hi everyone.

Well Christmas is almost here and I am not ready at all lol.

Never mind, as long as the family are together things will be great.

I have been thinking alt about this year, which hasn't been great for me.  I have chronic health problems anyway, which most of you probably know, but I've also had pneumonia this year, followed by shingles and I still haven't really recovered fully.

However, I am grateful that I am at present able to create things which gives me immense pleasure and I know that many of us craft as a sort of therapy, even if just for relaxation after a tough day at work :)

 

So, I am hoping for a better year next year, but I know that January can be a bit flat after all the preparations for Christmas, which seem to start earlier every year, so I thought I would do a blog candy.  In fact I am doing 2, one here and one on my blog HERE  , so you can add your name to both if you like :) (It seems that this happens automatically - not sure how I've managed to do that but now you only need to enter one to be entered into both :) ) It's also a big thank you to all of you who enter our challenges and support this blog:)

 

This is what you could win;

 

 

 

All you need to do to enter is add you name to the linky at the bottom (it would be nice if you choose to follow me but you don't have to if you don't want to :))

It would also be nice if you left a comment just to say hi, but again, not essential.

 

I am going to run it until the 7th of January, so you have a month to enter and don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog and enter there too :)
Hopefully I will be back before the big day, but if not I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that you all get some great pressies (ooh, please comment after the day and let me know what you've received, as I'm very nosy and I'd love to know :) )

Take care
