Bingo Addict #3 - WINNERS

Happy Friday everyone! Do you have a big weekend planned?

Friday means that we announce our winners at Addicted to Stamps and More!

Again, wonderful entries and thank you very much for the support.

Just before I continue, I seem to be having problems with the blog. When you are on our Home page, none of the gadgets to the left and right of the blog are showing (well not to me anyway). But, once you click on a post heading and get redirected, they show up... I have logged a "help me please" with Blogger and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

So, for the time being, if you want to play in our latest challenge which is "SPRING", please click on any post heading and then click on the image to the left of the blog. Sorry for any incovenience.

Onto our winners for our Bingo Addict Challenge.

Our

HONOURABLE ADDICTS

Vicky, we loved your scored card and the bunny was way too cute! Congratulations!!

Well done to all our Addicts. Normally, I would direct you to grab your badge from the tab at the top of the blog but I am currently in the process of designing our new ones.

Addicted to Stamps - Theme Challenge #3 {Spring}

Firstly, I must make an announcement.

I would like to thank all our followers at this time. We are having lots of fun here and hope we are inspiring you one way or another :)

When I created this challenge blog, unknown to me there is another challenge blog over in Germany with the same name. Now, after being contacted by this blog and discussions with the DT, we have decided that we will make an alteration to our blog's name.

From now on we will be known as

ADDICTED TO STAMPS AND MORE!

Now, not a massive change but we now feel that our blog name incorporates so much more - hence, the 'More' :)

I will be in the process of changing our blog badge and the winners badges. Please bear with me while I re-design them. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes those of you who already have our badges - if you wouldn't mind updating them when available, I would really appreciate it.

NOW, ON TO TODAY'S CHALLENGE!!!!

Spring, you say? Yep, it's Spring here in Austalia. Now two us live here in Australia while the rest of the DT team live in the UK and Greece. Now, Autumn is in full swing over there but that didn't stop my awesome team coming up with some beautiful designs for your inspiration.

So, the theme is SPRING

Here are the rules for this challenge -

Theme Challenge -

Your card, project or layout MUST correspond with the

theme provided.

Please check the overall challenge rules that are stated just before the link tool :)

Now, you may also remember that we were to have a Guest Designer to appear here at Addicted to Stamps. Well, I had a bit of a 'blonde' moment and told poor Karen the incorrect date. She has been a good sport and will have something for us in the next week or so, YAY!

Here are the DT samples, please don't forget to visit them - they wont bite (I hope).

CAS Challenge #2 - Winners

I'm actually going to post this on time - YAY! Fingers crossed that my internet is going to be on my side today, too.

I hope you have all been enjoying our challenges here at Addicted to Stamps. It is hard as a challenge blog to decide what themes to use, colours to use etc because you want to make each week enjoyable for everyone. Don't forget, though, it's not called a challenge blog for nothing! If you think, narrrrr that's too hard.... Just have another look and think outside the box. I think that's what a challenge is all about!

Have you seen the latest sketch? If you haven't, pop over to the original post by clicking on the badge to left for the latest weekly challenge. There are already some beautiful entries and we can't wait to see more. The Design Team have gone all out for this challenge - they are the best!!

You also have the chance to become a Guest Designer if you are picked as the Top Addict for the Sketch Challenge. Cool, huh?

Ok, so I was here for...... oh! That's right, the winners of our CAS challenge. I seemed to have waffled on a bit this morning. Whoops!

We LOVED the entries we had for this challenge but our votes were given to the true CAS entries. Again, if we could pick everyone, we would. But without further ado, our

HONOURABLE ADDICTS

are

Anni

Bonnie

And drum roll please.......................

Our

TOP ADDICT

goes to

Loll



Loll, we absolutely loved your rainbow and puffy clouds. Just perfect CAS!!

Congratulations to you all and please don't forget to grab your badges from the tab at the top of the page. We can't wait to see your next creations xx
