sort out your prize and we can organize when you can do your GD spot. Now our Top Three

Well done guys, please take your Top 3 badge from our sidebar and post it on your blog with pride. Now onto our challenge this week. As you can see from the title we'd like to see "Stars and/or Stripes" on your project . Now this doesn't mean that it has to be Americanised (as in their flag) although you can if you so wish. Anyway enough of my jabbering, here is your fabulous inspiration from our DT new and old - oh and from our GD this week Marianne.

Until then you are stuck with us old lot again lol xx.
Anyway, onwards we go. Another fabulous response to our challenge last week yet again and all fabulous too and a few more of the next generation of crafters gettting in on the act as well...now thats what we like to see!
Okay winners time. Our overall winner from last weeks challenge is.............................

Next our Top 3
1.  Sharon (103)

3.  Joyce (45)
Well done all 4 of you ladies and please take the relevant badge for your blog from our sidebar.

Check out our new sale that is going on at the Stitchy Bear Stamps store for ONE week only.
Just thought I'd get that in there before I forget and stitch tells me I'm slacking again hehehe. Well there is an awful lot of football on at the moment and it just has to be watched .... even the painful ones of England so far.

Now our challenge this week is "Seeing Double". We'd like to see your projects with 2 of anything on it. Your imagination is the limit.
Now remember these MUST be new projects that you are entering into our challenges please.

Onto our projects for your inspiration. Firstly our GD for this week Samantha Houp AKA



















 Any pics that are missing are on their way. My email was partly to blame for that as for some odd reason it didn't want to send Clare threadbares to her so she got hers a little late - but she will be here Monday at the latest as she is away this weekend at Bikefest or something fun like that (I wanna go!!!)


Well it's been yet another blast having you guys play along with us - heres to another blast right now. Plop your link on the linky gizmo (I'm trying the one without the piccies this week as some of you guys have had a few issues with it lately)
See you soon....

You may be wondering about the title today - well we had a bit of a dilemma when the new stamps and papers got to us, as it didnt really fit the challenge but we decided that us girls here can celebrate anything from life to shoes, new homes, new lifes (I do mean lifes not lives) but well get onto that in a little while anyway.

Well we had a fabulous response to our first DT call and the results of that you will get real soon - Stitchy may have to post that info for you as I'm not actually here til after 1pm today - I'm at a car boot sale at my local school. We'll announce the new girls and then give them time to settle in and during that time I'll get some info on them and introduce them to you all.
Okay now, you peeps never fail to astound me - another fabulous response to our challenge last week and it really would take us a month of Sundays to come up with winners ourselves, so the trusty RNG has chosen ........................................................

as our overall winner this week- Whoo hoo well done hun you get a Fantastic 5 digis of your choice from  last weeks sponsor Sew Many Challenges. Please email me on sammay72@googlemail.com with your choices and I'll forward them onto Jeri - also please take your winners badge from our sidebar and let me know if you are up for being GDT in a few weeks time.
Now our Top 3 in no particular order
1.  (39) Carol
2.  (18) Donna
3.  (36) Bella

Well done ladies and please take your Top 3 badge from the sidebar also.

Right now your challenge this week is "celebrations" of any type - if you can celebrate it we want to see it. If you celebrate the opening of a letter or a shoe box (could be babies first proper pair of shoes on a LO) - oo hark at me thinking out of the box...theres a first lol! Now to show off the new releases that you can get in the
Stitchy Bear Stamps store we have lots of inspiration for you and another talented GD from our Creator Team too. So without further ado I give you this..........

Okay I think that is just about everything....if it's not I'm sure Stitch will be about to add bits in if I've forgotten anything she wanted me to say hehehe. Ooh there is one thing, and it's a pretty please with sugar on top sort of question - could those of you that haven't turned of your word verification thingy off please change it to the comment moderation so you okay all comments if you are worried about spam messages - we'd be able to see so many more of your wonderful creations that way and leave more of you some love. We'd all really appreciate it if you could do this. Thanks guys.
Okay last but not least - please leave your link with our linky widget

OMG - I go away for a few days holiday and you guys out there go mad!!! So many entries!!! I'm really sorry I haven't been around to leave well deserved comments but I've been playing catch up on washing, housework in general, 9 pages of emails to read, shopping you name it I had to do it! I only went away for 3 days (2 nights) so what on earth is going to happen when I go on the family holiday for a whole week in August. Anyway enough of that for now - I'm so glad you guys out there kept my girls here busy and on their toes while I was away.
Okay before I explain our challenge this week, lets announce our winners again chosen by the ever trusty RNG.
Our overall winner that gets 3 digis from the Stitchy Bear Stamps store, a GDT spot with us and the lovely little winners badge from the sidebar is..........................

We have a couple of GDTs this week from Stampin with the Dragon challenge blog (where you will also see me every now and then - housework permitting lol) - as our lovely Liz needs a bit of personal time to chill as does our lovely Sarah as she is rushed off her feet at the moment, but personal circumstances allowing they'll both be back very soon. Onto our GDs this week.
