Spotlight - Great Crafty Bake Off

Morning Sweet Stampers.

I'm here to tell you about the Spotlight for our Great Crafty Bake Off.  Thank you for your entries, all of which make me want more cake, but this one edged it slightly over the rest.  Love this image, and I have this stamp but it's sadly neglected so this card really spoke to me.

Mothering Sunday ~ Spotlight Post

Crafty friends

I'm a little late sharing this post

I've been celebrating my birthday

'corona style' and I don't mean the beer!

Now it's our lovely Susan's birthday today so I'm

sending out a special birthday wish to her

my partner in crime and general joy bringer!

Wishing you the best day hun!

If any of you are celebrating

birthdays in isolation, do tell us your

best isolation birthday tips! We'd love to know!!

We didn't get a lot of entries to our

Mothering Sunday Challenge

so we won't do a Top 3

this week

But thank you to all who entered! 

We do want to shine a Spotlight

on this beautiful creation

Congratulations Jane

Sweet Stampin' ~ New Year Spotlight Winners

Hey Sweet Stampers,

thanks for all your gorgeous entries

to our New Year challenge

You made it so hard for me to choose a top 3

this week, it's going to be a Top 5!

Thanks for all your support last year.

We've listened to your feedback and will

keep the challenge themes a little looser this year.

So we really hope you approve of these new changes.

We don't want to become an 'Anything Goes' challenge blog

so will endeavour to make the themes more accessible.

Now onto our fabulous Top 5!

Reetta

Cristina

Lisa Lynn

Tenia

Silke

Such fun and gorgeous creations ladies,

Congratulations on being in the Spotlight.

Come and join us again soon and be sure to

grab your spotlight badge from above.

We have a fab challenge this week,

we are celebrating all our 'New Stash'.

We hope Santa brought you some for Christmas too!

If not, you can have a giggle at Susan's awesome card,

I bet there's a few of us out there that would nod agreement.

Have an awesome week,

♥ Love from the Sweet Stampin DT ♥

Spotlight - Grandparents Challenge

Good morning Sweet Stampers.  

I'm very sad this week, sad because I only had one single entry for our Grandparents challenge to look at for the Top 3.  Thank you Ma-Mi for entering, we really appreciate your entry so it is your card in the spotlight this week.





Please take your badge from the side and wave it and wear it on your blog
 with pride.

Top Picks ~ Happy Birthday Dr Seuss

Hey there Sweet Stampers!

Thank you to those who joined in our challenge last week,

I'm wondering if we didn't give you enough time again?

We have very few entries and some that didn't quite

match the theme. Beautiful cards all the same!

So we have two 'Top Picks' in the 'Spotlight' this week.

The first Spotlight entry used the

'Graduation' theme

Congratulations Teresa. This was a wonderful interpretation of our challenge.

The second Spotlight entry used the

'Add a Dr Suess Quote 'on' your Creation' theme

Congratulations Ma-Mi. Your creation and what inspired it, is just SO wonderful!

Please take your 'Spotlight' badge from above ladies

and wear it on your blogs with pride! 

Thank you all for your lovely entries and I'm going to give you a little 'heads up'

to prepare you for the next Team Wends challenge which will follow

the current one that is running. Our next theme will be

MARDI GRAS or SHROVE TUESDAY/PANCAKE DAY

So we hope you'll get creating with those themes in mind!

Be sure to enter our current challenge which has the theme

St David's Day Dragons!

So pull out your gorgeous Dragons and join us in celebrating

St David's Day this week!

Remember our sister site Christmas at Sweet Stampin',

is celebrating Christmas all year 'round!

So join us there too with your festive creations.

Spotlight on The Year of The Pig

Good morning Sweet Stampers. 

I came to tell you about the Top 3 for our Chinese New Year/Pig challenge.  There were 5 of you entered but what you lack in quantity you certainly made up for in quality.  WOW, I am completely blown away, each one of you knocked it out the park so I'm putting you all in the Spotlight.  Thank you so much.  Wendy and I were worried about the themes but seeing your entries today has really made my heart sing.  This is what crafting is about!

Spotlight on Burn's Night...

Well it would seem folks weren't too keen on our Burn's Night challenge.

Shame, as we thought it would have quite wide appeal!

We had one stand out entry though,

and I have to say, this entry would have made the Top Picks regardless.

Absolutely stunning creation,

thank you for joining in our Burn's Night fun.

Congratulations Jane

I love your tartan paper and your 2 stage stamping

Please take your Spotlight badge and wear it on your blog with pride,

you so deserve the spotlight shone on your lovely creation.

Our current challenge is celebrating Chinese New Year ~ Year of the Pig

So come and join us with your oriental themed creations 

or perhaps you're inspired to make a piggy creation?

We'd love to see your interpretation.

Join us also over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'

where we are 'Anything Christmas Goes'

Spotlight - White on White Challenge

Good morning Sweet Stampers. 

I'm here to tell you about the Spotlight for our White on White challenge.  You weren't really loving this one were you as there were only a select few entries.

I've decided to pick just one of those to feature today, but thank you all for your entries, we do appreciate the effort that you've gone to.

This is from Janice and I think it's fab! Just my sort of WoW card.

Top Picks ~ Trees Challenge

Hey Sweet Stampers

We are back with the Top Picks

from our 'Trees' challenge

Man, you guys make this REALLY hard!

There were SO many stand out creations

but as we are a 'stamping' challenge

and I was particularly looking for

creations with 'trees' as the feature

I've chosen these creations 

as our Top 3, okay 4!
(seriously hard to pick!)

Cath

Elliebelle

Beate

Theresa

There was one creation which featured 3D trees
and a cutie patootie stamped dachshund 

this so deserves some swooning over.
So today we have a 'Spotlight' creation.

What a wonderful lamp!

Sarah

Congratulations to all the Top Picks this week!
Please grab the badges to display on your blogs and

come and play along again this week.

Our current challenge theme is 'White on White'.

With Christmas fast approaching remember

 to add your Christmas entries to

Christmas at Sweet Stampin'

where anything 'Christmas' goes.
