No 11 Jean Chaney

We were also thrilled to have so many entries, a lot of work goes into the challenge so it is great to feel the appreciation.   Unfortunately one or two entries did not include rubber stamping and so were not considered for the top 3.  Yes top 3 this time with such a great selection to choose from.

Janis, please take your winner's badge from our badges page and  email zoechaos@icloud.com with Twofers Winner in the subject line for your voucher.

And now we'd love to see your entries for our Black and White challenge, which still has a week to run.

Challenge 19 - Asian Winners

Good morning, sorry this is late we are not in the rhythm of not having Christi with us.   We hope you are feeling better Christi everyone misses you and sends you healing thoughts.

Jane's Animals challenge runs for another week and you can enter here.   Don't forget we are inviting people to join us as GDT, just add GDT to your name when you enter the challenge.

Jane and I had to choose a winner of the $15 voucher for  Alleystamp   We decided the one we both liked best would be the winner and then we would have a top pick each.  The reasoning is that our tastes similar in many ways diverged here, and that is something we want to celebrate your and our individuality is something to be treasured.

So our winner this time is:

Julye B

Congratulations Julye we both love your card please drop me a line at zoechaos@icloud.com with Twofers Winner in the subject line.

Janes Top Pick, on artist two entries and they were both fantastic,

It is you Kathryn Ritter

To business, we take great pride in the quality and talent our little seems to attract once agin numbers might have been few but each one was a fantastic take on the theme.   One stood out to me very much the sort of thing I love so the winner of a $15 voucher for  Alleystamp is

Winners Challenge 12 Metal

Thank you for sharing the word about us it was wonderful to have such a selection of good quality entries for my Metal challenge a couple of weeks back.  Time now for me to let you know who won the $20 to spend at Alleystamp our lovely generous sponsor.

We select our winners choosing the entry that appeals to us personally.   That is the important because one persons likes and dislikes differs from the next persons.  I know how I feel sometimes looking at the choices on other challenges when the chosen winners do not seem the best entries to me.   My choices here today may not seem quite right to you, it's ok they might have been different on another day!

If you didn't get selected this time there is always another opportunity, currently we have Christi's Numbers Challenge here.

Our Winner is:

Debi

I love the vibrant colour (It is summer in NZ) combined with stamping and texture and the lush gold paint.   A fantastic tag.   Please contact Christi Stampindiva@yahoo.com and she will let you know how to claim your prize.

We also choose our TOP 3 although the main decision is that of the challenge host we often consult on this.   It is so difficult to to make these selections.   But 3 have to be highlighted and this time they are

Kathy K

Ionabunny

Greta H

All fabulous work, thank you for sharing them with us and please take your badges from our badges page.
