Challenge 64 and winners of 63

Hi Susan here...

Thank you to everyone who entered our challenge 'Use your punches and dies' last time, the results were amazing, you all thought the same as me I think that I had given you quite an easy challenge to enter. Hopefully this time it will be just as easy for you all, I am so looking forward to seeing all the creations for this one. But before I announce the new challenge lets get on with the business of picking two winners. 

Remember to be fair all round I always use the Random Generator.....

The first lucky winner, winning 5 digi images from Fairy Dust Crafts is #126 Julie J

The next lucky winner, winning a guest spot here at LC's is #35 Laine

CONGRATULATIONS to you both, contact me, Susan, contact details in the sidebar, and I will arrange your prize and guest spot.




Please remember to contact me before the end of this challenge, we can't contact you individually because of time restraints, and what a shame it is to be a winner and not collect your prize!!

This time we are very lucky to have a special sponsor for this challenge, hope you're impressed by what they have to offer at their store, we are!

The winner of this challenge will receive a $15 gift certificate.

Well here we go, let's get on with our new challenge.....

'Lace and Ribbon'

I would like to see both of these embellishments on your creations, but as long as you are using one or the other that will be fine. You can make it as over the top as you want, or as simple but I would like to see these products being used in a main focal point of your card not just a bow being stuck in a corner.

We all I think love embellishing our creations with these two products, I know I do....As always I am looking forward to seeing all your wonderful creations.

If you need some inspiration, then go no further than looking at the creations my design team have come up with.....

It still amazes me that no matter how many times one image is used the creations are always so different...take a look below and don't forget to call across to their individual blogs and leave them all some love, I am sure you will agree they all deserve it.
