Ribbons & bows

Morning, what an appropriate theme we have for you this week, I've definitely had some moments this week that feel like they were ribbon wrapped & tied up with a bow...in other words very special! I got to meet my very lovely teamie Wedgie & was on the receiving end of an amazing act of kindness from a complete stranger.

So get out your ribbons for this week's Ribbons & Bows challenge.  We're sponsored by Crafty Ribbons..



with this fabulous Keep Calm.... ribbon.



And Joanna Sheen, our monthly sponsor is giving one lucky winner a £10 voucher for her online store.

Think of all the ribbon you could buy with that!!

Here's your weekly dose of inspiration from the talented team Abi, starting with our June teamie,

Sarah:

Tracey

Wedgie

Abi

Dora

Doreen



Jenny - Now the eagle eyed will spot that Jenny has no bow!! You need to have a bow on your creation or you'll end up on the naughty step with Jenny lol!!! Seriously though, we couldn't be too cross as it's a wonderful card.



Kim

Mickaela

Pamela

Can't wait to see your ribbons & bows creations, hope you all have a wonderful week.

Dies & Doodles at Sweet Stampin'...

Good morning sweet stampers...how are we all this morning?? Before we get on to this weeks challenge, a big thanks to all who entered our challenge last week...a fab array of Easter and spring cards.

Next we have some news, unfortunately a couple of out girls have had to step down for personal reasons, Abi and I would just like to say a massive thanks to Cathy and Kozmik for all their hard work over the past months, you will be sadly missed and big hugs to you both...which also means some good news too for out 2 new team members. As we had lots of applicants at our last DT call we decided to ask a couple of the girls who had applied and I am delighted to say they accepted, so first we have Helen who is joining Team Fi and her first card is below and secondly we have Mickaela who is joining Team Abi and will show her first card next week. last but not least I will also mention that Susan has jumped ship and moved from Team Abi to Team Fi....this was to help accommodate our newbies...so thanks Susan you're a star!!

So..this weeks challenge is "dies & doodles" now we will accept dies on their own or doodles on their own but we would love to see them both together and how you interpret the doodles is entirely up to you...you can some lines around the edges or you can add some additional lines to the image on you card.

Our sponsor this week is My Mum's Craft Shop....



....who is giving one lucky winner picked at random a £10 voucher to spend at their store.


We also have our monthly sponsor Joanna Sheen....

Ooh La La

First & most importantly this week, we're saying a sad goodbye to some of our team, Carrie, CherylAnn, Claire, Lorraine & Val are leaving Sweet Stampin'.  We shall miss them all, please go and leave them some little bits of luurve on their blogs for all the amazing inspiration they have given.  We hope they'll all come back & be guest designers at some point too, you don't escape that easily girls lol!

On a happier note, that means we have some delicious new sweeties to introduce you to, look out for the announcement on Wednesday!  Also look out for something else coming on Wednesday, it's worth popping back for....

So this week's challenge is chosen by the quiet shy retiring Tracey (well we thought she was!) & she wants to see some Ooh la la on your card.  Something French, or something a bit cheeky or saucy but remember folks, this is a family show!!

This week we are sponsored by Quixotic Paperie who are offering a £10 voucher to spend in the shop

& our monthly sponsor is Joanna Sheen who's also offering & £10 spending spree (last chance this week to get your hands on it.)....

Woohooo!!!  Both fabulous shops with a huge selection of goodies that are well worth a visit!  In fact I've been across to both this week & well....erm... just don't tell hubby will you lol!  Thanks for your sponsorship guys, we really appreciate it!!

Anyway here's the inspiration from our sweeties this week:
