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 :)

Trio Tastic

Hi peeps and hope all is well :)

Hugest of thanks to everybody who joined in last week – there were lots of fabulous bright and zingy cards out there and all of them gorgeous :)

Can I just say first before we get on to the challenge that we had an entry last week which linked back to another challenge blog and there wasn't even a member on the DT there by the name that was linked.  Sadly of course we had to automatically exclude that entry from winning anything.   I’m sure this wasn't done on purpose or just to get our peeps from here to go and visit the other challenge cos that would be a bit  naughty naughty!!!!.

So don't forget that you need to link back to the card on your blog – this helps the DT  so that we can come and visit you and we don’t have to search round for your card.  And also as was probably the case here, some poor girlie has gone to the trouble of making a card and linked wrongly so we couldn’t find her :(

If you aren't sure how to do this, please do drop me or any of the DT an email and we will let you know how to do this – we don't want anybody missing out xxx

So we need a winner and this week that will be …..

… you Annette

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

And check out Annette’s beautiful card peeps …..

So onto this week and we are doing the triple here cos out theme is

Triple Tastic

So we just want to see 3 of something on your cards. It could be 3 papers, 3 buttons, 3 blooms, or a mixture. As long as there is 3 of something on there then that is fandabidozee!!!

I am so pleased today to welcome a brand new sponsor to Papertake and it is the fabulous Mary & Andrea from The Ribbon Girl

The Ribbon Girl specialises in supplying small quantities of ribbon, twine, 'vintage' style seam binding, lace, buttons, charms, embellishments and accessories to card makers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators and Mary & Andrea have joined us as regular sponsors and we are so pleased to have you with us girlies xxx

And they are offering one of their beautiful Special Selection Ribbon Kits - the winner may choose the colour they prefer – and there are 6 to choose from!

Hugest of thanks for a fabulous prize :)xxx
