Winners BTF#16

We were so happy to see some players this week.  Thought maybe you all forgot about us! :)

It was hard to choose from so many good cards too!

This weeks designer is Shauna, so she has all the say!  Lucky her :)

Designers Choice:

Michelle

Michelle, congrats on winning this weeks Best Dressed award!  Shauna loved how your card is simple and clean, but you added just enough pop with the embossed paper, flower and lace. The embossed paper looks like ribbon and the lace seems like baby's breath. Just a wonderful card overall.  Thanks for playing with us this week.  You can head over to the badges tab to claim your Best Dressed award, plus go fill out the form under Employee of the Week and we'll get you your card!

Casual Friday Awards:

Tiffany's Choice:

Congrats to Anni, Tiffany loved the simple white, with pop of color  of the strip.  Really nice!  Loved the technique used to achieve this too.  The way the sentiment is put together just makes it all come together!  Thanks for playing with us and you can head over to the badges tab to claim your badge.

Kelli's Choice:

Congrats to Marie on such a lovely card.  Kelli loves all the textures in this card along with the color combo. You can go grab your badge from the badges tab!  Thanks for playing this week.

Kendra's Choice:

Kendra loves the embossing look and the clean simple colors. Of course the little toes are adorable! Head on over to the badges tab to grab your Casual Friday award!  Thanks for playing and we hope to see you play again!

Black Tie Fridays #16

Sorry people I've had a sick 3 year old for the last several days and have been couch bound with her.  They're so clingy when they're sick, which sometimes can be such a wonderful thing! But....on days when you have to get stuff done it can be so frustrating.  So, sorry it's late!

One of our designers, Kelli, is going to be absent for sometime.  We aren't sure how long, but we look forward to her return.  Her father is very ill.  Prayers are welcome for her family if you'd like to add them.  In the mean time, Tiffany is going to be picking up the extra example for you!

This weeks designer is Shauna, she's given you a great challenge!

I'll provide you some more information for those of you wondering with questions.....

1.) you can stamp your own pattern onto solid paper.

2.) you can create your own pattern using solid paper (grid, weave, etc.)

If you have any more questions let us know!  We're happy to help :)

Our designers have created some wonderful things for you!

Black Tie's #15

This week we hope to bring some warmth to some of you that have been freezing for the last few months!  Some of us have warmth at least part of our days, but some of you have been cold night and day.  Brrrr......

Kendra is our designer this week.  I have been looking forward to this challenge for a long time!!!  Let's see what we've got in store for you this week.  Oh yeah, black is optional this week.  :)

Winner #14

Good Evening!!!  We had few players this week, but since we've been gone so long it's not a surprise.  We hope you enjoyed the challenge of making a condolence card, and sent them off to CT.  I know I always have a hard time making these kind of cards!  A reminder that when we have fewer than 4 entries we have a team choice award and team casual friday award.  So, make sure you get the word out about the blog and see if you can get your crafty friends to join in the fun!

Team Choice for this week:

Sarah, even agreed that your colors with so much white was fantastic.  The single bird flying away says so much with no words at all.  We also loved the sentiment of letting them know that a prayer is being said by sending your card.  Thanks so much for playing with us this week.  Head on over to the Employee of the week tab to fill out the form to receive your gift card.  You can also grab the Best Dressed award from the Badges tab.  Enjoy your card!

Casual Friday Award:

Jamie, everyone loved the colors of the flowers on your card, with the simple stamping of the flowers on the inside.  You can grab the Casual Friday award from the badges tab to put on your blog.  Thanks for playing!






Coming Up.....Challenge #15

Link Closing!!

Hey all crafters, when I created the link for you all to upload your wonderful cards it automatically was defaulting to be open for one week.  This was not done on purpose.  If you're wanting to submit a card for this weeks challenge I urge you to do so soon!  I'll be going in and manually shutting the link down today around 1:30 Pacific time.  This way we can announce a winner and stay on schedule.  Thanks everyone for playing along this week.
