One Stitch At A Time

Oh my gosh!!! What a phenomenal start to our challenge. We have been blown away by the amount of entries and the super high standard. It has been a pleasure to pop round to all of your blogs this past fortnight.
Now the winners. Firstly our overall winner that gets 3 digis of their choice from our very own Stitchy and a Guest Designer spot for a week and all the candy that was shown at the very beginning of our blog with the exception of course of the Digital-Ink voucher as they sadly closed their doors for business this week. W will be trying to sort something out in it's place so you won't get any less than was originally promised. We had 101 entries in the end and 4 of those used Stitchys images so a total of 105 is going into the RNG.
The winner is as chosen by the random number generator.....

well done hun and can you please get in touch with myself, Sam on sammay72@googlemail.com to confirm your GDT spot and choose your 3 digis.
The tough bit has been chosing our top three, so in no particular order here are our top 3 as chosen by us the DT and Stitch of course. Please help yourself to our little badge saying you came top three at OSAAT.

1. 54 - Chelsea
2. 76 - Nadine
3. 20 - Cindy (Royal Things)

Now onto the winners of our Lizbits ribbon candy guessing game.
The winners of Bundle no.1 with a guess of 60 (there were 59 in this one) are Crafty Kitten and Jude
and the winner of Bundle no.2 with a guess of 52 (50 in this bundle) is Jennifer Scull
Well done all three of you. Can you please contact me on the above email with your home addresses and I'll pass them onto Liz so that she can send off your ribbon bundles to you.

Okay that is all the prize stuff done and dusted so onto our next challenge. We are now going to be running a weekly challenge so this challenge finishes at midnight GMT on the 6th/7th March ready for our next challenge to be launched at midday on the 7th.
We are very pleased to announce a major coo as far as us on the DT were concerned......we are being sponsored this week by the very talented Karen of Karens Doodles...... EEEEEEEEKKK!!! Can you guess that I am excited, hehehehehe. Karen has just been doing up some more absolutely gorgeous works of art. Now if I remember rightly, Karen is offering up 3 of her fabulous digi stamps as a prize and of course there will be the top three (chosen by us) and the overall winner gets a GDT spot as well as Karens super digis. All we ask is that - one.....you follow our sketch designed by our lovely Susan  - you can twist it, turn it, add extra embellishments if you wish and it doesn't have to be a card - anything goes here at OSAAT - and instead of getting two draws at the end of the challenge for using one of Stitchys images, you will get two entries for using one of Karens images instead and she has some freebies on her blog and her PCP and SNR pages too. Oh and the second thing is.... you have fun with it!!
Here is your sketch for this weeks challenge.


Okay onto some inspiration from our super DT this week. No GDT this week but big thanks to Micki for being our GDT for our first challenge - you are a star hun.

Wow it's finally arrived - the long awaited first challenge at One Stitch At A Time challenge OSAAT for short. 

As this is our first challenge, we would like to see some form of stitching on your project. This can be faux stitching, done by hand or machine, cross stitch, knitting, crochet - you get the idea! And if you use one of Stitchys digi images, you get to go in the draw TWICE. This challenge lasts for 2 weeks and the winner will be announced on the 28th February along with our new challenge. The cut off time for your entries to be in is midnight Saturday 27th February, so that I have enough time to get our winners picked out of the pot and posted.
For our first lucky winner there are the extra goodies that have been previewed on previous posts as well as 3 digi images of their choice from Stitchy Stamps and a Guest DT spot. For our next 3 runners up there is our little badge for you to take and display on your blogs.

Okay so without further ado, here is your inspiration from our talented DT and me (hehehe -you may even see something appear from Stitch herself!)

Two almost the same from our Susan as she wasn't happy with this top one as it has a little smudge from the glue on it. She designs a lot of her own background papers herself on PSP and I wanted to showcase her talent for this as she has done two different papers for each one.

and our GDT this fortnight who has done us two gorgeous cards
Micki

Please do stop by all our DT if you get the time and have a look around their blogs. I believe I have got some of Englands finest on this DT, along with our lovely talented Scottish, Irish and American buddies too. I'm looking forward to showcasing so much other talent too via our Guest DT spots.
Happy stitching everyone.

Oh and as a last little note, stop by and wish our Stitch a happy anniversary. She's been married to her long suffering hubby TJ for 15 years now, well done and I hope you both have a lovely day and many more years to come.

Ooops nearly forgot Mr on the blinky, sorry Mr Linky. Please leave a link with him for us to have a look at your fab entries but if he does decide to disappear (as we all know he has a tendancy of doing) please leave us a link in the comment box.

Yes I have been promising this to you guys for ages and here is what our first overall winner of our brand new challenge blog will be getting in the post from little old me.

Don't forget to join us on Sunday when we will be announcing our first challenge. All our girls are ready (apart from me of course heheehehe) but I will be on form by then. We are so looking forward to popping round and seeing all of your wonderful creations.
See you soon.

Afternoon everyone. I just want to take a minute of your time to introduce you to a fabby lady who has agreed to be our first victim GDT ahem! Micki from Arful Xpressions has agreed to join us for our first challenge on the 14th February. The lady is sooooo talented and gets to play with the gorgeous Sweet Pea Stamps and does a fabulous job.
Please do visit her and show her some love.
