October Winner

Hi it is time to announce our overall October winner.    As a team we looked at the Top 3 from both October challenges and from those we chose our first winner.  If you would like the opportunity to be our November winner challenge 3 Destinations still has a couple of days to run.

The winner receives a $15 voucher for our wonderful sponsor Alleystamp.  There is a great range of products some only available in America at the store, if what you want is not in stock just ask and the lovely Janine will get it for you.  All you have to do is choose what you want and pay the postage, oh and UK people I think the $ has just dropped a little in value so it gets even better for you!

Onto the winner then.   She is an old friend of ours from our Twofer time, and she jumped right back in on our first challenge with a lovely card, congratulations Sue you are our October Winner.  To claim your prize please send me an email (zoechaos@icloud.com) with the subject AUR winner and an indication of where you live, you have 2 weeks to claim your prize unclaimed prizes are forfeit.   The reason we ask where you live is so that Janine mark the parcel so you should not get charged duty and those ridiculous royal mail admin fees, we cannot guarantee it but we do try.

Here is Sue's winning entry

Here is your winners badge,

Thank you for playing!

Challenge 3 - Destinations

Welcome to our third challenge. Jane here today - I chose our theme for this fortnight, which is Destinations. So we are looking for something connected with a place - maybe a city or country, or a generic place such as the countryside, the mountains or the seaside. In fact, just think about anywhere you might travel to or send a postcard home from. 

Don't forget that to qualify for a top 3 place or our monthly prize from Alleystamp, you must include some stamping, using rubber or polymer stamps, on your work, and not include any digitally generated material. So switch off that computer and go and get inky! (But not until you've taken a look at our inspiration, of course)

First of all, here is the inspiration from our lovely guest designer: Nana Connie who's fabulous work can be seen on her blog.  Nana Connie will be known to many of you she is on several design teams and a regular entrant to many challenges as well as Tuesday List Manager at Challenges for Days.   Thank you for finding the time to make this wonderful inspiration piece for us.

And here is what the regular team have created:

It's not all Black and White Top 3

Oh goodness I nearly forgot!   We had a good start to Always use Rubber, thank you all for your entries.   Just a reminder please to check the rules as one or two did not quite qualify.    We already have some great entries for our Winter and or Spring challenge with room for more if you are thinking of joining in we would love to see your project.

The main business today is announcing our top 3 for the last challenge.   These will be joined by the top 3 from the current challenge and the team will then select one as our overall winner who will get a $15 voucher for Alleystamp, prize subject to terms and conditions.

Our first finalists are

No 3. Julye B

No 5. Sue

No 7. Pia

Good luck to you all in the final vote, your badge of honour is waiting for you on this page.   We will permanently share your projects on our Roll of Honour.

Challenge 2 ~ Winter and/or Spring

We are thrilled you have come to our challenge page!  We have already had a few entries that just don't work with our rules, so PLEASE read the rules before you link up! The creations are lovely, but, digital elements are not allowed in our challenge and we hate to have you waste linking to us when you could link to many other challenges.  That being said, on with the show!

The fabulous Alleystamp are staying with us as Sponsor but we have changed things a little there will be a top 3 for each challenge and one monthly winner chosen by the team from the months top picks.  Thank you Alleystamp we are delighted that you chose to continue to support us.

This second challenge is Winter and/or Spring.    Your project can be anything based on what the theme means to you (if it is obscure, please explain in the narrative!).  We can't wait to see what you come up with!! Have fun but please do remember to include rubber/polymer stamping.

We are joined again this time by another of our Challenges for Days team mates, Kathy aka The Purple Princess.  When we gave Kathy this theme her thoughts went directly to Christmas as that is what Winter means to her.   Thank you for joining us and bringing a terrific card with you Kathy.

And now the inspiration from your regular DT.

For our first challenge we have a picture inspiration for and the challenge is called It's not all Black and White.   Your project can be anything based on what you see in the picture, take it and have fun but please do remember to include rubber/polymer stamping.

This challenge we are joined by Bev of Bev's Craft Space.  Bev's eclectic style and willingness to experiment is very much the way we like to roll here.   Thank you Bev your contribution is very much appreciated, and your inspiration piece terrific.

Your team also have some inspiration to share with you.

Our new Challenge

Hi, we used to be Twofers but decided to have a little refresh and update.

Starting on the 8th of October our fortnightly challenges will continue here.   The rules have also been slightly revised as well.   You can see the rules on our rules page and also as the main page footer hopefully they are not too onerous.

Any type of project will be welcomed so long as it includes rubber/polymer stamping.   For us it is this intimate direct contact with our projects that attracts us to our hobby and we hope you will feel the same.

We are also all part of Challenges for Days some of our teamies from there will be joining us as Guest Designers.  We hope that future Guest Designers will be joining us from our regular followers. We will be grateful for your input, this is a challenge for you and other likeminded people, your say will help us develop it as we go.

You can help us now by spreading the word on your blog and displaying our badge.

Our wonderful generous sponsor has chosen to stay with us and for that we are exceptionally grateful.  Thank you Janie and Alleystamp.  One slight change we will have one winner for each month, the winner will be selected from all the entries in the previous month.   Each challenge will have a Top 3.   I'm not sure about you, but for me getting a mention is worth so much more than the prize.   Prizes not claimed within 2 weeks will be forfeit and the voucher does not include p&p the winner has to pay that.

Looking forward to seeing you all for our first challenge on the 8th October 2016.
