Winners of challenge 23 Baby It's cold outside - so let's make cocoa!

We didn't have many people enter my chilly challenge, some of the entrants were very inspired and entered up to three makes! Your makes were all lovely, thank you for joining in!

Sadly we had to eliminate one lovely entry for not featuring a hot drink.

We would like to thank our three great sponsors for this challenge who were: Crafty Ribbons, Bugaboo and a special prize from GD Gloria Shirr!

As usual every team member has chosen their top 6 in order of favourites, these were all entered into a spreadsheet and the marks were aggregated to give us the following top 3, so here are our favourites.

In first place is Simone with these really cute tea boxes.

Congratulations Simone, you have won a £10 Crafty Ribbons voucher!

Our second winner is Chrissy with this very different curved tri-fold card with lots of cocoa drinking characters.

Congratulations Chrissy, you have won 7 images of your choice from Bugaboo!

Third place goes to Nela with her pretty card with a cocoa drinking girl, and lots of stitching and detail.

Congratulations Nela, you have won two images of your choice from Bugaboo.

All of you please email me, using the email link in the sidebar, and I will send you your winner's badges and arrange for you to get your prizes. We would love all of you to be Guest Designers in the next challenge if you can, so please let me know if you can join us, and you get another badge for that and an image or two to use!

As well as a top three we had a special prize from Gloria, and the winner of that prize is Gloria's favourite USA entrant, and that is Princess with this lovely get well card.

Congratulations Princess, you won the gorgeous stamp set from Gloria!

Winners - who has the best or biggest pumpkins?

Doris set a very popular challenge and she is very happy that you all wanted to share your makes with us! We had lots of great pumpkins to look at so thank you all for sharing with us this time, and thank you to our two wonderful sponsors who provided great images to the team and great prizes for our winners!
The team had a tough time deciding and of course with so many came up with different favourites, only two entries were eliminated, one didn't mention Quirky or link to the blog, and one had a paper pumpkin in the photo but not actually on the make being submitted! This left us with 35 great entries to compare.
All of you deserve to win, but there can only be 3 prize winners, and the team had a hard job to decide this time (and every time some more votes came it the top three changed), but finally we decided on our winners:

In first place this gorgeous detailed card by Grandma Bonnie, featuring a kitten sleeping in a pumpkin:

Congratulations Grandma Bonnie, you have won 7 images from Bugaboo!

The second person chosen by the team is Katie Tate, who is a little batty about pumpkins:

Congratulations Katie, you have won 3 images from Limited Runs!

In third place we have Billie A, with one of her two entries, this one also has a cute cat by a huge pumpkin.

Congratulations Billie, you have won 2 images from Bugaboo!

If all three of you would like to contact me (Cazzy) using the link in the sidebar to email me, I will arrange for you to collect your prizes and send you a personalised winner's badge. We would love it if you all could join us as Guest Designers - please say you will - let us know when you email about your prize if you can!

Thank you to everyone who entered, and don't forget to check back later today to find out about our new challenge and some sad news!

Winners of Everybody wants to be a cat, challenge #13

Thank you all for entering the challenge with your lovely creations, so many cats - and one pig!

 I don't really believe in bad luck, but was it because it was number 13 that nobody got the part about relating their project to the film or song, and I mean not only a cat but music, instruments, roof tops, the other characters from the film or song. Well if anyone did do that they didn't tell us about it and it wasn't obvious at all.

We picked out our favourite top 6, added together the scores and these are the resulting top three:

In first place Tracey M with ther very elaborate cat lady card.

Congratulations Tracey, you have won 5 images of your choice from:

Robyn's Fetish

In second place Leeann who used one of our own Spyder Lyn's digis, and as well as the second most votes, got voted as best by my husband, who hasn't a clue who drew what! This is a lovely cheerful card with lots of layers and detail.

Congratulations Leeann, you have won a $5 voucher from:

Digital Delights

In third place by just one point is Kali with her shadow box card and cute kitten stamp.

Congratulations Kali, you have won 3 digis of your choice from:

Robyn's Fetish

We would like to thank both of our sponsors for once more providing us with some great prizes.

Our runner up is Marina, who did mention she was singing the song and her card does feature a wall!

Congratulations Marina, you get a runner's up badge to display on your blog.

To collect your prizes and badges please contact me (Cazzy) by email using the email link in the right hand side bar. We really hope you can join us as Guest Designers too, either in two weeks time or later, please tell me if you can.

Winners of Fold It

Fold it was a very popular challenge, and so we had lots of lovely entries to look at and everybody got this challenge right, so well done! Some of the projects used folds and techniques I have never seen before, and I certainly learnt a lot!
Thank you all for sharing your lovely creations with us. As you can imagine, with 53 entries that were all really good to choose from, and with 6 of us independently choosing our favourites we really needed the voting system to come up with the top 3, and there were 3 clear winners out of the 16 finalists choosen by the team. (We all choose our top 6 and put them in order and give them points 6 to 1 and then add the points together and the three with the most win).

Fold it was sponsored by The Cutting Cafe who sell great value files of images as well as wonderful cutting files, and who provided the team with some lovely images to show you.

The team have chosen the following top three:

In first place is Wench with this amazing and pretty card which has lots of folds and a take out panel (this was a new one to me too). There are more photos on her blog and I highly recommend that you go and check them out, even the back of this card has a pocket for a tag.

Congratulations Wenche, you have won 3 sets of your choice from The Cutting Cafe.

In second place is Coops with this gorgeous vintage easel card.

Congratulations Coops you have won 2 sets of your choice from The Cutting Cafe.

Our third place winner is Gloria Shirr with the very classy and sassy side step card which is also decorated beautifully inside. Again there are more photos on Gloria's blog showing close ups of the details.

Congratulations Gloria you have won 1 set of your choice from The Cutting Cafe.
