Strawberries & Cream

Hi peeps :)

I hope that you are all OK today and that you are all having a nice week :)

Hugest of thanks to everybody who joined in last week. What a fabulous response and as always, your cards and projects were amazing.

So who was our winner then?

Woohooo Lis M this week it’s you chick :)

Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll pass your details onto Lisa and Laila and hugest thanks to Lili of The Valley for sponsoring us xxx

And check out what Lis did peeps …..

What a gorgeous tag shaped card – I love the image and Lis, your colouring is awesome!!!

So onto this week and our theme is

Strawberries & Cream

So you can either use this as a colour challenge ie red / white / cream or do something that reminds you of summer. It is entirely up to you how you interpret it.

This week we are joined by those lovely peeps over at The Stamp Fairy

And check out what’s up for grabs …

Hugest of thanks for a fabulous prize and do nip and check out the website if you get a sec cos there’s oodles of drool-worthiness over there :)xxx

We are very pleased to be joined by one of the The Stamp Fairies DT as well so welcome to Gerda and thank you for joining us this week chick xxx

Before we get to the cards, I have some sad news.

This is Angie’s last week with us and I am so sad to see her go. Her work has always been amazing – always original - and she will be sorely missed by our DT I can tell you. I am keeping my fingers crossed that when her mojo comes back, she will come back to us. Thank you chick for everything you’ve done for this challenge and for sharing your beautiful work with us xxx

So without further ado, let’s check out what the PTW crew did this week …...

Gerda (Special GD)
Gerda has used Molly Throughout the Year (December)

Anny (GDT)

Sharon G (GDT)

Jacqueline (GDT)

Angie
Angie has used Lenny Fruits with Strawberries

Natalie

Lisa

Andrea

Mary

Debi

Jane

Jill

Jo

Lols

Dawny P –may be back shortly if Mr New Router Guy gets a wriggle on – hope he doesn’t read that bit!!!!

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. 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
