Challenge 210 - Happy Easter!

Wow, so many of you joining us this week. With such large numbers of participants the DT have struggled to comment on all cards. Over the next couple of weeks the DT will be a little light as family issues are keeping them away. During this time it may not be possible to comment on all cards...espcially if you have comment verification switched on. Can I suggest you switch it off and instead go to comment moderation instead.

So now let's find out who are the lucky winners of the prizes from Simon Says Stamp.

********************************

The winner of the fantastic prize kindly donated by
Simon Says Stamp is Tracy Payne

Tracy, please email Deb with your details...

Challenge 210 Happy Easter!

This week with Easter coming up next week, we would like to see you Easter inspired cards and projects. The cards/projects do not need to be religious in nature, maybe they can be inspired by the colours.

We are also pleased to welcome our sponsor...

Here is what Jodie had to say...

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

Another great easy way to bring attention to your blog /posts – add the below html code to your post, to allow people to “pin” you on the web for 1,000’s to see and  share!

This weeks amazing prize is...

As always the winner will be chosen using Random.org
