Good Morning all,

Its Judith here with a great new challenge from Fab'n'Funky Challenges

We had sooo many fabulous entries to last weeks challenge,

if you scroll down you will see who our lucky winner and top 3 are - it could be you !!

But without further ado here is our new challenge

and the theme I have chosen is

Stars and Stripes

For this challenge we would like to see your stars and/or stripes

They don't have to be red white and blue any colour will do

just as long as they're there!!

We have two fabulous sponsors so there will be two prizes this week

First the fabulous

Paper Shelter

who are offering a $20 gift certificate to their store.

And the cute, quirky and pink

Tickled Pink Stamps

who are offering our 2nd Lucky winner a prize of 2 of their fabulous digis

I'm sure you'll agree that our DT have excelled themselves this week and with the fabulous images we've had to play with this week its hardly surprising!

OK this week we are definitely going to challenge you all. Over the years we have all bought them, tried them once for a special present and then put them away . . . but now is the time to dust them off and make something else with them. So what are we talking about you wonder? Simple . . . templates and therefore our challenge couldn't really be called anything else but . .

"tempting templates"

We can't wait to see what templates you use from shaped or numbered book templates, unusual opening cards, boxes, bags . . . the list is endless and we know you have them hidden away !!! The DT were helped this week with this challenge but our wonderful sponsor

I'm Adela and I live in sunny Southern California with my husband and our two teenage girls! Crafting has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I love to sew, crochet, knit, draw, paper craft, stamp... I love anything related to crafting! With encouragement from many people, my love of paper crafting in 3D has led me to open an online shop which allows me to share some of my template designs. I feel so blessed and

I truly believe that God has given everyone their own special talents

and it is our privilege to share it with others.

Adela from Creations by AR has even got a FREEBIE section, so why not pop over and use one of the fab free templates and then join in with us on this challenge. Well the DT have been busy and heres what they have made:

Challenge #74 - "Let's all go "Cute and Cuddly"!"

Firstly apologies from the DT if we have not been around to visit you and comment on your challenge entry but we have all been having blogger problems over the last few days. Commenting has been a problem as we leave comments, press enter or submit and the comment then vanishes!!! We are still trying to get around to you all but wanted to know that we weren't ignoring you.

Many thanks everyone for your blooming marvellous creations last week and it was wonderous seeing all the different types of flowers we make from a variance of materials - very inspirational. However there can only be one winner of the great prize from paperMakeup Stamps and Miss Random.Org has chosen . . . number . . . . 14 . . .
