Grow Your Own

Hi peeps and hope that you are all OK and having a nice week :)

Hugest of thanks to everybody who joined in last week – another totally fabulous response and as always some gorgeous work out there :)

So who were our winners?

Well the winner of the LOTV voucher is …. Fiona :)

Well done chick and if you e-mail me I’ll pass your details onto Lisa and Laila over at Lili of The Valley and hugest of thanks to them for their wonderful sponsorship xxx

And check out what Fiona did peeps …..

… this is so pretty :)

And of course we have another winner this week and she is …..

…. Rebekah

Well done to you too chick and if you e-mail me I’ll pass your details onto Paul & Siri at Wild Orchid Crafts and hugest of thanks to them for their wonderful sponsorship too xxx

And here is Rebekah’s gorgeous card …

 

So onto this week and we are getting all flowery this week and our theme is

Grow Your Own

so all you have to do is include some flowers somewhere in your work, BUT  you have to make them yourself either by using dies / punches,  altering a ready bought one or using stuff from your stash.

And I am so pleased to welcome back the sweetness that is our Katharina as this week we are sponsored by the wonderful

Whiff Of Joy

And check out what’s up for grabs peeps ….

It’s one of the new August releases and it called Which Direction (you can see it and the other new releases here).

He is seriously cute  and of course, hugest of thanks to Katharina :)xxx

So without further ado, let’s check out what the PTW crew did this week – I LOVE that they are all so different.

 

Louise (GDT)

 

Marika (GDT)

 

Andrea

 

 

 

Jill

 

 

 

Angie

 

 

 

Lols

 

 

Debi .. is feeling poorly. Hope you are better soon sweetie xxxx

 

 

Marcea

 

 

 

Lisa

 

 

Sharon

 

Katina

 

 

JO

Dawny P ..won’t be long!!!!

 

So that’s what we did and now it’s over to you, and if you get a sec, don’t forget if you get a sec 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. And also, 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 also, can I just give you a nice gentle reminder to ask if you could make sure that you link your card and not your blog when using good old Mr Linky please my lovelies. It makes life so much easier for our DT if they don’t have to go searching for your cards.

Thanks ever so muchly – we really do appreciate it xxx

Also 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 peeps for bearing with us and hugs from all of us to all of you xxx
