Challenge #171 - Colour on Kraft

Good morning guys, I do hope everyone is well. I would first like to apologise for not displaying the winners for the last few challenges. I have had a close family bereavement and Val has kindly been stepping in and doing the blog posts and I felt the winner draws could wait. I'm sure you will all understand.

Anyway it is Saturday again and that means a new challenge. This week we challenge you to....

Challenge #170 - Create Your Own Background

Good morning everybody

I hope you had fun with the challenge last week, and thank you so much for some fabulous entries.  It is really inspiring looking at all the wonderful creations.

You may have noticed that our lovely blog owner Shelley has been missing for a couple of weeks.  Very sadly she has had a close family bereavement which has taken her out of action for a while, but I know she will be back as soon as it is possible.    Please join me in wishing her well.

Our challenge to you all  this week is to

CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

So, no designer papers at all, but it can be inks, stamps, created digitally, or whatever, as long as we do not see backgrounds from paper pads creeping in!

Today we are delighted to introduce two new sponsors.

The winner will get to choose FOUR images (pre-colored images do not apply) of their choice from Melissa's store :

Challenge #169 - Hearts and Flowers with ribbon

Good morning everybody,  I do hope you are coping with all this snow and ice and are safe and warm.

Thank you so much for all the amazing entries, and what a lot we had.  Continuing in the mood for Valentines, our challenge this week is for

HEARTS AND FLOWERS WITH RIBBON.

This week we are sponsored by

who are offering the winner

Store Bio

We are Mother and Daughter, Mary and Andrea and have always crafted (card making, scrapbooking, cake decorating, sewing, embroidery, soft toy making etc) and as well as keeping our own blogs up to date, we enter as many challenges as we can fit in and are also proud to be on various papercrafting Design Teams.
We were frustrated that we were increasingly unable to buy very small quantities of ribbon and lace and resented having to purchase a roll of 5 metres when we only needed one metre. Because we love ribbons, lace and all things sparkly and pretty, we decided to open our own online shop and make small quantities easily available to all crafters. Mary owns the shop and runs it on a day to day basis as well as keeping the website updated while Andrea looks after the social side in her spare time, such as the Ribbon Girl Blog and Design Team.

We specialise in supplying small quantities of ribbon, twine, vintage style lace and seam binding ribbon, tiny pom-pom and ric-rac trim, buttons, fancy pins, charms, pearl and crystal flourishes, wool felt squares, seasonal and unusual embellishments, mulberry flowers, sticky tape and accessories to card makers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators. We stock only the best quality products such as Divine Twine, Berisford, May Arts, Zva and only offer for sale goods that we would personally buy and use ourselves.

We are really, really pleased to announce another new regular sponsor
