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. </div>

Our Precious Medals/Metals - Olympics - Gold/Silver/Bronze challenge has now ended, it was great to hear how much you enjoyed that one and we loved what you all made! It's going to be another hard to judge challenge.<br />
<br />
Our next challenge for the coming fortnight is Alter It. <br />
<br />
The challenge is for you to alter something making it different from it's original appearance. Our Design Team have excelled themselves again and offer great inspiration for you to get your ideas flowing.<br />
<br />
You can alter a plain box, picture frame, book, bottle, tin, notebook cover, or any other item that inspires you to change it!!<br />
<br />
Here is the team's awesome inspiration...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello all, Angela here. So have you been watching the Olympics? I always love watching the Gymnastics and swimming. How about you? With the Olympics wrapping up in London we thought this challenge would tie in nicely. Our theme this fortnight is going to be "Precious Metals" as in Gold, Silver, Bronze etc just like those wonderful medals all the Olympians have been winning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any project as long as it includes some type of metal touch. How easy is that right! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now before I head off and bring out some inspiration from the design team we have some exciting news to share. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are excited to announce that we have 2 new team members on our design team. <a href="http://zoechaos.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Zoe Sanderson</b></a> and <b><a href="http://tonyrbrighton.blogspot.co.uk/">Tony Robson</a>. </b>They both have different styles as you will see when you visit their blogs and we are looking forward to working with them both. Please do stop by and give them a big welcome shout. </div>

Thank for entering our Anything Goes/Summer Colours challenge, the winners will be announced next Friday. <br />

Wow, what a lot of entries, the weather in the UK hasn't proved summery this last fortnight but you certainly managed to work with summery colours!!<br />
<br />
We hope you will join us for our new challenge, Anything Goes Celebrations.<br />
<br />
Your projects can be for any celebration, a special birthday, anniversary, or a congratulatory card (maybe for all those Olympic medals that will be won in the next fortnight!)<br />
<br />
As usual, the top prize winner will have £10 to spend on our website, www.thestampman.co.uk<br />
<br />
We are looking forward to seeing your entries!!<br />

<br />
I am sure that each fortnight it gets harder for the team to pick the winners and this time it seemed especially hard, you all really excelled yourselves in your projects, in fact, you all always do!!!!<br />
<br />
With a long short list from the team, believe me it then became even harder to choose the top 5. <br />
<br />
So I sincerely ask that you all give yourselves a pat on the back even if you are not in the 5.<br />
<br />
OK, so the winner this time is....<br />

Thank you to those that entered and we hope you find this fortnight's theme easier.<br />
<br />
Our theme for the next fortnight is Make it for a Man, which may give some of you a head start on upcoming male birthdays or perhaps a Father's Day card.<br />
<br />
If you are picked as the winner of the top prize, you will receive £10 to spend at our website <a href="http://www.thestampman.co.uk/">www.thestampman.co.uk</a>.<br />
<br />
We are sad to announce that due to other commitments, Neil had to step down from the team. We will miss you and your amazing work Neil but wish you all the best in your future ventures.<br />
<br />
If you are attending any Jubilee celebrations, we hope you have a good time and certainly enjoy your long weekend's break whatever you are doing.<br />
<br />
