Alter It Winners

Firstly, apologies for the delay announcing the winners of the alter It challenge, again it was so hard to choose a Top 5 as the standard of your projects was so high.  Everyone that entered should give themselves a serious pat on the back, I wish you could all have won top prize!!!

The winner of the £10 to spend at The Stamp Man is...

Bex

Bex's Domino Book is based on Shakespeare and is double-sided and features 2 of his plays.  Do go and visit Bex for more details of her project!!

The others in top 5 are

Lainey

Keren

Inkypinkycraft

Butterfly

Well done to all the winners, please take your blinkies from the sidebar!  Thank you to everyone who entered.  

Future challenges

You are probably wondering why the winners are being announced rather than a new challenge starting, well, we are making some changes to the challenges and I will let you all know about them soon but in the meantime I would like to thank you all for your support so far and hope that you will join us for our future challenges.

The winners of the Summer Sizzler challenge will be announced in due course.

Our next challenge will start on 1st October, so do call back for details 

Summer Sizzlers - Use hot colours!

Our Alter It challenge has now ended, it was lovely to see all of the projects you entered for it!!  Thank you to all that entered, the winners will be announced next week.

At the time of writing we have had a couple of wonderful sunny and warm days in the UK and it is promised to last a little longer.  I guess we have all hoped for an Indian Summer to make up for the poor summer we have had this year so with this in mind we would like to challenge you this fortnight to make cards with hot sizzling summer colours, our final chance to use bright colours as we pass from Summer into Autumn.  

Kimx choose this theme as she likes bright and hot colours and we'd all love to see what you produce with this colour theme.  Our Design Team show inspiration below to get you started with ideas.

As usual we will be picking a Top 5 and the winner will receive a prize of £10 to spend on our website, www.thestampman.co.uk 

We hope you will join us.

Have fun!!
