Challenge 3 - Love & Romance

Challenge 3 - Love & Romance!


As February is the month of St Valentines Day, and this challenge will end on the 12th of February, I thought I'd give us all a head start making Valentines cards! Please make a card, or other project, following the theme of Love & Romance!

(How you interpret the challenge is up to you!)

However, please ensure that you abide by the 'Sweet Rules' in the sidebar.

Those entries who do not follow the rules, will not be included in the prize draw.


Yet again, we have another sweet prize for you, courtesy of Sugar Nellie & Funkykits.

One lucky winner will win six Annie stamps, designed by Leanne Ellis!

ETA. 'The Boss' has just told me there are six brand new Leanne Ellis Stamps ready, (unfortunately I don't have the images yet, but keep checking back!)

So the winner will recieve the brand new ones, or if they prefer, they can have these, darling, little sugar babies...

Either of these gorgeous set of stamps is worth £27, and could be all yours!

Please have your entries posted according to the 'sweet rules' (on the sidebar) by Midnight, Wednesday 11th February (GMT). The winner will be announce shortly before our next challenge on Thursday 12th February.

To provide a little inspiration...
Here are The Sweeties examples for Challenge 3.

Please click on the photographs to be taken to The Sweeties own blog's for more pictures and details of how they created their projects.

Challenge 2 - THREE!

Thank you very much, for all of your support for our first challenge! We were hugely thrilled to see you turn out in such numbers! What an unbelievably talented bunch you all are!
It appears that you love Sugar Nellie, as much as we all do!
So, we know that you loved our first challenge from The Sugar Bowl, but have you tried the Paper Beads project from Sugar Sugar for this month? You still have over two weeks to get your card or other craft project to us for this challenge! Go on...double the fun!
We have yet another delicious pile of sweetness for you to get your hands on this week....


Each winner will receive THREE of these delicious new Mary Hall designed, Sugar Nellie stamps, so new, even we don't have them, yet!















Each winner will also receive a pack of Doodlebug 6"x6" Paper Potpourri...





and Doodlebug Boutique Brads...and Doodlebug Boutique Trims...

Now did you notice I said 'each winner?'


For this challenge we have a theme...


Challenge 2 - THREE


Please use three different design papers and three different types of embellishments on your cards! No more, no less.
(by types of embellishments we mean, buttons, brads, flowers, ribbons, beads, bling etc)
Of course, you can use any amount of 'plain' card stock!

If you can make a project containing THREE different Sugar Nellie images (as Sweeties Kathy & Lillian have done) you will be entered into the draw twice.

(Please note -If you create a project using three stamps, please write three stamps in your comment, or I'm afraid you will just get the standard one entry!)


Three lucky people, chosen at random, will receive
Three Mary Hall Sugar Nellie stamps, a 6"x6" Doodlebug Paper Potpourri, Doodlebug Boutique Brads and Doodlebug Boutique trims!
There will be a 'red kit' a 'green kit' and a 'blue kit' but all of your items will be the same colour!
Each kit is worth around £35!
