Thanks to all you fabulous Papertakers. You are soooo THE BEST -  mwwwahhhh from all of us to all of you xxx

Anything Goes :)x

Happy New Year peeps and here’s to a great and crafty 2011 :)

I hope that you are all well and that you are having a nice week.  We have some very exciting news here at Papertake today but more of that in a sec :)

Thank you so much to everybody who joined in last week - your thank you cards were just gorgeous. And I have to say the biggest thank you to all of our Guest Designers who really did pull out all the stops – fab work girlies xxx.

So who is our winner?

Heeyyyyyyyy Mette, it’s you.

Well done chick and if you e-mail me I’ll pass your details on to Heidi and as always, hugest of thanks to her for her wonderful sponsorship xxx

And here ….

.. is Mette’s gorgeous card  :)

So onto this week and we have something fabulous to share with you.

From now on, the first challenge of every month is going to be an Anything Goes challenge so that you will have a free rein to do whatever you want and really get to create without any restrictions. Of course, it’s still a challenge so we will be having an optional extra but this is just what it says, an option only and you don't have to do it - only if you want to. 

You can combine your work with other challenges but as always, could we ask that you don’t back link  and that you submit new projects/cards only please (thanks peeps xxx). 

So our theme this week is

Anything Goes

and the optional extra is to add lace to your work (you can use paper lace or fabric – whatever you prefer)

And  not only that, but the best news of all is that we have a brand new sponsor joining us every month as well.

Oh yes, our Anything Goes challenges are going to be sponsored by the one and only.

I am ohhhh so happy to tell you that Lili Of The Valley are here with us - what a great start to 2011 :).

And our winner will get a £10 voucher to spend in the Lili Of The Valley shop  -

Hugest of thanks to Lisa and Laila and also Bev and Jacqui as well xxx

On a sadder note, we are saying goodbye today to Shell and Katharina, the  GDT who have been with us these last 4 weeks. Thank you for being part of our team and for sharing your wonderful creations with us xxx As we had such a good response to our call out for the one-off special, we are going to be asking some of the lovely peeps that applied to be our GDTs for the next few months or so,  so there wont be a call out as we will be working through our list.

So without further ado, lets see what the totally awesome PTW girlies have done. I am still missing in action but I hope to be back in card making mode in the next few days.

Thanks for bearing with me peeps xxx

Hello to everyone.

I hope that you are all well and that you are having a nice week. The big day will soon be here and then we will all be wondering what the fuss was about !!!

Or is that just me????

You’ll have to forgive me again today but I am still unwell as apart from falling down the stairs last Friday, this virus thing has decided to invade my sinuses and boy it is not nice. So I am still not able to craft so no card again from me today,  but I am up again so hopefully I will find my way back to the craft room soon.

 Thank you so much to everybody who joined in last week – there were as always some lovely Christmas cards in the most gorgeous colour themes and lots of fabulous work.

So we need a winner and this week it’s …..

… Kim Mc – all the way in sunny Hawaii (I’ve been there, it’s totally fab and right now looking at the snow and mush outside, I am as jealous as jealous can be!!!)

Well done chick and if you e-mail me I’ll pass your details on to Katharina and as always, hugest of thanks to her for her wonderful sponsorship xxx

We are sponsored again today by the totally awesome

It’s Happy New Year Ben (is he not just the cutest!!!)

I have to say a huge THANK YOU to Katharina for her support during this last year. She has been so generous to us here at PTW and I am really grateful to her and also to the sweetness that is Fenella who sorts it all out for us.

You two are just wonderful xxx

Before we get onto the cards, I will be in touch with our guests for next week later today. I was hoping to get this sorted but of course, being unwell has made me a little late with everything, so I hope you can all bear with me.

And a little more news for you – woohooo, we have a brand new full time DT member and that girlie is True:D. She was a past GDT member and her cards are so different and so very beautiful that we didn’t want her to leave. So welcome True:D and I hope you will enjoy being part of out team.

So without further ado, let’s check out what the Papertake girls have done this week. These are the last team cards from them for this year as we have an all guest line up next week so I just want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of them for not just being awesomely talented on the crafty front but for being such lovely peeps as well xxx
