ATSM - Bingo Challenge #4

Yay!!! Bingo!! We love Bingo here at Addicted to Stamps and More!

This is going to be a very quick post, I'm sorry, because I wasn't organised and I've just got home from training for the Fire Brigade. I have dirt all over my face and desperately need to hit the shower!

For this week's challenge, it is really simple. Follow the Bingo Card below - choose a line either vertical, horizontal or diagonal and use those elements for your card. Where you choose the free square, try not to use any of the elements already provided on the card.


And here are the beautiful DT with their inspiration for you.

Addicted to Stamps and More! - WINNERS

G'day to all our followers!
What a truly amazing amount of entries we had for our last challenge - Halloween! It seemed to be very popular out there and the entries were just mind blowing.
It was certainly very hard for the DT to pick their favourites and the votes were very, very close this week. If you need some Halloween inspiration head on down to that challenge because the array of different ideas was crazy good! From scary to cute, gory to pretty - we had it all!
Don't forget our current challenge is CAS. A little different from the previous challenge lol.
So, for the Halloween challenge our
HONOURABLE ADDICTS
are
and our
TOP ADDICT
is
Congratulations, Lynne. Your card was AWESOME!
