Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll pass your details on to Mary and Andrea and hugest of thanks to The Ribbon Girl for sponsoring us xxx
And check out this week's winning card peeps ….
I love chalkboard effect and Anita has shared a link to a fab tutorial by Annabelle which shows how you can get the same effect and you can find it right here.
Thanks for sharing Anita xx
So onto this week and we have a fab new sketch for you to follow, and ….
here it is - Sketch #85
But as we are doing now, if you would prefer to use another sketch, then please feel free to use any Papertake Weekly sketch you fancy because we have another ...
Sketchie Free For All
All you have to do is to use any PTW sketch (it MUST be one of ours please) and just add the number of the sketch you’ve chosen when you post the link back to us :) To make life a bit easier, we now have a sketches page at the top here so there are a fair old few to choose from. Hopefully this will save you having to go back through the archives to find one that you like :)
As always, please feel free to resize, flip and rotate the elements - as long as you can still see the sketch, it’s completely fine so fill yer boots!!!
We are sponsored by the lovely peeps across the pond at Simon Says Stamp so we have a fabulous $20 voucher to give away !!
Woo Hoo !! :-)
So without further ado, lets see what our fabulous team have done and please pop by to leave our fabulous Guest Designers and DT some comments - we all appreciate them xx
So that’s what we did and now it’s over to you, and if you get a sec, don’t forget to check out our individual blogs and see what else we have been up to.
As always, could we ask a huge favour peeps please.
Could you help to make our job at leaving comments easier by turning off comment verification and enabling comment moderation instead please pretty please xxxx. It’s ever so easy to do – see our sidebar – and you won’t get spam comments as you can easily reject the comments that you don't want to appear.
Can we remind you nicely that’s it’s fine to combine challenges but please, no back linking. We hope you understand that it’s only fair to those who make a new card xxx
And could we ask that you restrict your number of entries please to no more than 5
Thanks ever so muchly – we really do appreciate it xxx
And just to let you know that sometimes it is not possible for the Design Team to leave a comments on every entry, with these Blogger issues that some of us are having at the mo – grrrrrr what a nightmare. But please be assured that we do stop by and we are doing our best and every single eligible entry goes into the draw for our prizes even if we don’t manage to leave you a comment.
Thanks for bearing with us and huggiest of hugs to all xxx

Hi peeps and hope you are all OK and that you are having a nice week so far (and that your poor old trotters have recovered from the NEC if you went!!!).
I have to say a mahoosive THANK YOU to our Lolsie for standing in for me last week while I was off doing me C&C thing in sunny Peterborough (it was actually not a bad day until I hit the M6 near Stafford where the heavens opened!!).
And of course, a huge thank you to everybody who joined in last week - what a fabulous response and your cards and projects were amazing :)

Hi everyone! Welcome to PTW! No need to join! Just check out the challenges set every Tuesday night, do them if you would like to and then upload them to your blog! The challenges will be fairly open to interpretation so whatever you decide to make is upto you! (cards, LO's, altered art, ATC's etc!!) Don't forget to leave a comment with a link to your blog so we can all check out your creations!! (If you do not have a blog, please send me a picture via email and I'll add it for you!) Have fun! x
It would be a great help to us if you would consider turning off word verification peeps. To do this is really easy and all you need to do is go to Customise > Settings > Comments > then scroll down to where it says comment moderation and select always (this won't stop anybody leaving you a comment but they won't show on your blog till you approve them). Then scroll down to show word verification for comments? and select No
Thanks for doing this xxxx
