Challenge 820 🌷

Hello everyone, Ellie here today bringing you a new theme and I hope all of you will join us!! This time of the year I always get excited about even the tiniest of blooms and so my optional theme for you is.....

Spring Flowers

Of course, the Anything Goes option is always there too, so please do share all your new crafty makes with us for a chance to win a prize or to be featured in my top 7. Remember, challenges now run for 2 weeks so there is plenty of time to join us and you may share up 5 creations. Also, in case you missed it, our March prize winners were announced yesterday, so don't forget to scroll down to see if you were one of the lucky winners!

A gentle reminder to please include details of focal products used, most of you do but a few still forget and have to be marked ineligible.

For this challenge our prizes are these stamps and stencils (winners will receive random selection from those below) from AALL and Create 

 

The design team has been busy creating with pretty spring florals. As always you can find out more about each project by visiting the links above the projects. We would love to hear from you!

Challenge 818 - CAS

Good morning, Helen here and I'm happy to be introducing my first challenge since joining the Allsorts team, my chosen theme along with the usual Anything Goes is....

CAS
(clean and simple)

It seems to be a theme that lots of us avoid or struggle with so the perfect chance to give it a try, but if not the Anything Goes option is always there, we love seeing all your creations. A gentle reminder to please include details of focal products used, most of you do but a few still forget and have to be marked ineligible.

We have three prizes from Oakwood Direct, an A5 Spring themed stamp set, three stencils and a coordinating Butterfly stamp and die.


The Design Team have been busy and have lots of CAS inspiration to share....
