ATS - Clean & Simple Challenge #1 - WINNERS

What we love about CAS is that it is VERY challenging to a majority of us. Even though the final card can look quite plain or that there wasn't much 'in it' CAS cards use the most brain cells and really are a work of art! Well, that's just my opinion lol.

We were very happy to see those who joined in our CAS challenge really embrace the concept of CAS and provided some very wonderful entries.

It, again, was very close this week but I am happy to announce the winners.

Our HONOURABLE ADDICTS AWARDS go to








Congratulations to you both. Please grab your badge from the link at the top of the page.


And our TOP ADDICT for this week's CAS challenge is.....




Congratulations, Tara. Your CAS design stole the hearts of the Design Team! We loved your card.

ATS - Sketch Challenge #1

It's Wednesday morning and that can only mean one thing. Another challenge at Addicted to Stamps.

This week we have a Sketch Challenge for you.

This was my first attempt at creating a Sketch for the Design Team to come up with something. The sketch is a bit unconventional.... I will try and get better lol.

But, never fear! My Design Team is here! They have come up with some awesome (as usual) creations. We hope that you will join us this week and take on our Sketch Challenge!

ATS - Scrapbook Challenge #1 - WINNER

Hi to all our Scrappers. We have a new challenge going at the moment with 'HOLIDAYS' as our theme - chosen by the lovely Victoria.

I'm sure you are all waiting to find out who our 'Top Scrap Addict' for June is!


The winner of June's challenge created a layout very fitting for the month of July. With the Olympics coming up, this was a perfect 'Celebration' to scrap.
