One last post!

 It is with a heavy heart I write this very last post here on our challenge blog.

After more than 13 years of amazing support for our challenges, it is time we bow out.  I initially hoped that someone could take over the administration but everyone was like me, way too busy in real life to take it on and do it justice. 

It has been incredibly fun over the years, particularly those first few years when blogging seemed to be the only way to participate in challenges.   Now, of course, it is very different. 

We would all like to thank all of our amazing followers and participants, some of whom have been with us right from the start.  I would also personally like to thank our incredible design team, some have also been with us since those first days.

All that is left to do now is announce our winners from our last ever challenge.

All Dressed Up 

"Hi, I am Wendy Burns I live in Nottingham UK with my husband and two children who have been the inspiration behind the characters,  in particular, my daughter who has kept me up-to-date with blogging and trends.  I work predominantly in the textile children’s wear market, fashion and interiors.

I trained as a textile designer and although my work is digital based, I love to retain that hand-drawn /sewn feel which I hope comes across in my artwork.

Digital stamps are a new challenge for me and the opportunity to work with the All Dressed Up Team has been very exciting, in particular, the creative way my characters have been given individual personalities by the designers.

All Dressed Up is a newly launched blog with an enthusiastic team who are passionate about stamping.  The coordinators Marilyn and Tracy along with an amazing design team are also known as The Dressy Girls.

We have a friendly Facebook page, regular blog posts, tutorials, challenges, and freebies. The stamps can be purchased from the Etsy shop which is updated on a monthly basis.

We really are friendly bunch and would love to see your creations so please feel free to contact us and visit the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog. "

This month's challenge winner will receive two free digis of their choice from Wendy’s Etsy shop
