Challenge # 23 Happy Anniversary

Once again your entries for our last challenge #22 A Child's Birthday brought us lots of smiles, along with ooh!s and arrghs! but sadly we did have a few which didn't fit the theme (or even the gender) so they weren't included in the final decision for the Top 3. Janice has chosen the Top 3, so please ladies take the winner's badge from under the header, congratulations and again thanks to everyone who takes part in our challenges for you are the keystone to it's success. In numerical order here are the Top 3.

Father's Day Card Challenge # 21

Many thanks to those who took part in our Recipe 1,2, and 3 challenge, it seems you really liked this theme. Thanks to Kim who has chosen the Top 3, not an easy task, but then, is it ever, there are so many talented crafters in blogland.  Congratulaions to our Top 3 Winners, please take our badge from the Winner's tab, well done, we would so much like to see you visit us again.

Sadly, one of our Design Team, Shani has decided the time has come for her to move on . We all send her our very best wishes for a continued  success in all she does and say a big thank you for sharing her wonderful, creative talent with us over the past few months. 

Guest Designers

We are almost six months old, it is time for us to spread our wings a  little, going slow but sure being our aim from the beginning.  We would like to start featuring you, our participants as guest designers.  We would like to feature you, for you to tell us a little about you in the crafting world. For you to provide four inspirtational cards during your four weeks assignment. All you have to do is add GD after your name on your entry.

Every entry, over the four weeks from 3rd June - 24th June inclusive with GD will be put into a draw, each month a winner  GD post will be drawn. Being a Guest Designer may suit you more than being a full active member of a DT, also it will give you a taste of being a member of a Design Team. 

Now let's get on with it, this week is my (Caz) choice for the theme, what else could it be? 

We being a male orientated challenge blog June 15th is in both the US and UK 

FATHER'S DAY/ THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE

We give an alternative, you may enter either.

I would like to thank the amazing creative Design Team,  for their wonderful inspiration.

Caz

Diane

Julie

Kim

Jan

Thanks once again to the wonderful Design Team, we do hope their cards will inspire you to make either your needed Father's Day card/project or for the Man In Your Life. 

Please check our rules - there are so few. 

You are invited to visit the DT simply by clicking on their names to go to their personal blogs for more details, we are so thrilled when you take the time to visit and to leave a comment.

If your interested in being a Guest Designer add GD after your name, thanks and good luck.

Recipe of 1 and 2 and 3

Hello everyone, typical bank holiday weather here in the UK, rain and more rain, and even more is forecast. We just had to pay the price for the beautiful weather we had last week. The good thing is if it rains we can craft.  We didn't appear to inspire you to create an action/moving card last week, could be you were out gardening and enjoying the sun.  Maybe we'll try again in the future. We would like to thank those who kindly took up our challenge, showing different types of cards with movement. Julie has chosen the Top 3.

Congratulations ladies, please take your Top 3 badge from the Winner's Tab under the header.
