Challenge No 16 - Winner, Top 3 and 500 followers!

Well, I'm back from my hols now and getting back into the swing of things.  We had mixed weather but on the nice days, we never moved from the beach.  The kids just loved it.

My holidays are the reason this is a week late, but I'm sure you all understand.  As usual, the winner was chosen using random.org and it was

Kylie!  Congratulations, Kylie, please send me an email at cardsformen@donnasden.co.uk and I'll pass it on to Tracy to forward your images.  I'm sure you'll have a fun time with them.  Thanks again to our sponsor, Squiggle Stamps.  If you haven't taken a look, please do, there's some wonderful images and not just for boys.

The top three was really tough this week.  I know I say it's hard every week, and it is, but this week it was exceptionally hard.  Anyway, in no particular order (actually in numerical order, lol), here they are

9 - Sandra

50 - Maya

63 - Zoe (Aus)

Congratulations to you all.  Grab the top 3 badge from our sidebar and add it to your own.

And finally, woohoo!  I see we've topped 500 followers over the last couple of days.  I can't believe how much this blog has grown and we're not even at our first year yet.  Thanks so much to everyone who has supported us, either by following, sponsoring but especially, joining in.  Let's keep on and get to a 1000.

Challenge No 16 - Off On An Adventure

Last weeks challenge had a wonderful, 65 entries.  That's great.  I'll be back later with a winner and top 3.

This week's challenge was rescued by the wonderful, Squiggle Stamps, when the scheduled sponsor, unfortunately, had to close shop and I was in a bit of a panic.

Squiggle Stamps carry a unique range of cute, quirky and whimsical stamps designed by a talented team of illustrators. Our images are available as both Rubber and Digital Stamps with new designs added regularly. We are lucky to have a wonderful Design Team and you can see all their fabulous creations and take part in monthly prize challenges on the blog at www.squigglestamps.blogspot.com

Tracy has really come through for us with a wonderful prize of the following five digi stamps:

I'm sure that there'll be loads of you out there who'd like that now.

As the title says, we're 'Off on an adventure' so we want to see wonderful images but equally you could apply the theme to 'Moving Home', 'Leaving work', 'Retirement' or any of life's great adventures.  That should give you something to think about as should these great ideas from our design team.
