Winners!

Hey!

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us with our last challenge, Whatever the Weather. We loved seeing how the weather inspired your creations, no matter what the weather was like outside!

It's time to pick a winner so do you thing, Mr.Random thingy-me-bob!

Here are your random numbers:
8 Timestamp: 2012-05-15 09:48:00 UTC

Number 8 is the lucky number for Sandie! Congrats! Email us at apassionforpapertrey(at)yahoo(dot)com with your postal addy and we'll get that prize out to ya!

For our Top 3 PTI Passionistas we were truly spoilt for choice! We finally decided upon the following:

Bee

We immediately fell in love with Bee's ultra-trendy chevron sunshine! We also loved that she used a fillable frame stamp as a cloud too - what a way to stretch those supplies!

Micholla

Micholla had us wanting snow to appear more than sunshine with those beautifully stamped snowflakes. It might be May, but if we had these CAS beauties to hand out at Christmas, we'd be counting down the days!

Jenny

Jenny's super sweet card would brighten up anyone's day! We loved the literal  'pocket of sunshine' and her fabulous stitching and embossing add so much texture!

Congrats ladies! Now we're having technical problems with our Top 3 Blinkie right now...it's decided to be naughty. If you send us an email then we'll send you the code once we fix it.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined in our challenge - we'll be back real soon with a new one!

And now for our Top 3. Well firstly, thank you to everyone who managed to enter regardless of the fact that I forgot to put a linky thingy at the bottom of the challenge post (trust me, these last two weeks have been manic!) and apologies that we haven't had time to get around you all. We really appreciate your entries and these 3 entries really stood out to us:


We loved Emma's use of those sweet birdhouses as a home for this fabulous, soft and pretty card!
Angélique kept it beautifully CAS with her card as well as incorporating a lovely, fresh colour combo!
Shannon packed a punch with her lamps with this clever design that coordinates perfectly with the punny sentiment!

Congrats ladies! If you would like a blinkie to blink with pride as a Top 3 PTI Passionista then pop us an email with 'Blinkie' as your subject!

Thanks once again to everyone who participates and joins in the inky fun with us on A Passion for Papertrey! I hope you can stay tuned for our new challenge that will be 'knocking' around here very soon *wink*

A Winner (Finally!)

Hello and happy Shrove Tuesday! I'm so sorry that we've been busy flipping and scoffin' pancakes that our winners post is a bit late! *wink*

Thank you to everyone who joined us with our love for stripes; we loved your creative approaches to stripes - from paper piecing stripy paper, to creating your own stripes with stamps - genius!

Well enough babbling as we're late revealing a winner already!

Do your thing, Random.org:

Here are your random numbers:

12 

Timestamp: 2012-02-21 22:27:47 UTC

Number 12 means that Karen M is our winner! Congrats, Karen! Email us your postal addy to apassionforpapertrey(at)yahoo(dot)com with the subject Winner, and we'll get your prize out to ya!

And now for our Top 3. Well I know we say it every time, but it really was tough to narrow it down to just 3; not only due to the fabulous amount of entries we had, but also due to all of the different ways in which you all so cleverly incorporated stripes! After much deliberation, we decided on the following:

We loved Sue's creative approach to stripes by using a scalloped border pattern! Not only that - but the fun colour combo certainly gives this card some oomph as well! :)

Karen's sweetly paper-pieced striped houses gave us that warm, homely feeling that the card intends to do. We love the mix of both straight lines and chevron lines - rocking the lines at both angles!

Finally we totally fell for Jenny's striped tea-pot! So sweet! And not only that - but Jenny also cleverly incorporated stripes twice more by paper-piecing a fabulous gingham-style tablecloth for that sweet teapot and using the linen and canvas impression plate for the background to compliment the tablecloth!

Congrats, ladies! If you haven't got one already, drop us an email with the subject Winner for a Top 3 blinkie to blink with pride on your blog!

Now due to the late nature of this post - our challenge is going to schedule a day later too. Stay tuned tomorrow to find out what it is...!

Winner, winner...

I dunno about you but I think I've eaten and drunk enough to last me 'til next Christmas - ha! I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas!

I'm popping by here a bit later, due to not being able to move from the sofa, to announce some winners from our past challenge. Thank you to everyone who joined us on the green Christmas - I hope you had as much fun playing with green as I do :)

So without further ado, the winner of a sweet li'l stamp set is:


Number 3 which is super lucky for Vannessa! Congrats, Vannessa! Email us your postal addy and we'll get that set out to ya.

Now for our Top 3 PTI Passionistas. Well even with the lower turnout for this challenge it was still a super tough decision to make but nevertheless, we decided:




Ingrid embraced not only gorgeous green, but her fabulous PTI dies to come up with this beauty! We love dimension the layering of the dies adds to this gorgeous card!

Steph warmed our hearts with those cute mittens hanging from the sweet holly! The sentiment ties in perfectly too :)

Shannon embraced green in the form of a gorgeous tree contrasting against navy card. The layout and colours really caught our eye and we especially loved the use of vellum for the sentiment.

Congrats, ladies! If you'd like a blinkie to blink with pride then pop us an email too and we'll get that code out to ya!

I hope you can all join us in 2012 when we kick off another year full of fun challenges :)

A Winner!

Well you certainly got busy with the berry for our challenge! I'm feeling so much more inclined to use that colour I was so petrified of before this challenge! Thank you to everyone who entered and shared the inspiration :)

Time to draw our random winner of a sweet li'l PTI stamp set. Do your thing, Random.Org....

So our randomly selected winner is Antoinette! Congrats, Antoinette! Please email us your postal addy to us at apassionforpapertrey(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk and we'll post that mini-set out to ya!

Now for our Top 3 PTI Passionistas. I have to confess that every single entry inspired me us in some way to embrace the melon berry more so, and you all demonstrated that it can be suited for just about any occasion! But as you know, we have to narrow it down to three and those three are:



Kate - (no, not our Kate!) - embraced the melon berry to produce this beautiful sympathy card. That colour combo is so soothing and warm - just the kind of emotions you want to evoke in such a card for such an occasion.

Sharon proves that no-one is too old for a bit of berry-lovin, even if your age is three digits long! We loved the CAS layout and the way those Melon Berry digits totally steal the spotlight!

Chris produced these gorgeous tags that are bound to make any one's day! Chris may be in the minority by confessing her love for Melon Berry but it's easy to see why she loves it so once you've checked out her work with it!

Congrats ladies! If you'd like a Top 3 Blinkie to blink with pride on your own blogs then pop us an email and we'll give you the code.

Thanks to everyone who played along with our challenge! Stay tuned for tomorrow's shiny new challenge...you could say it'll be as shiny as a bauble...oops! have I said too much?!

A Winner!

Thank you so much to everyone who entered our last 'mad for tags' challenge and apologies that we couldn't get our linky thingy to behave for us; hopefully we've managed to include everyone who entered and left a link in our comments section!

So now it's time to draw a winner......

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

Ta-dah!

Mr Random has chosen #1 as our winner which means that Emma is the lucky recipient of a super sweet stamp set! Congrats, Emma! Pop us an email with the subject 'PTI Winner' with your postal addy and we'll get that set out to ya!

And now for our Top 3 PTI Passionistas. I think it's safe to say that you all rocked the idea of using tags (and I've personally picked up a few more inspirational ideas for ways to incorporate 'em) and as always we had the tough job of narrowing it down to our Top 3:


Lynn got us into the Christmas spirit with these super fun retro-lights on her card. We love the way she layered a die-cut circle on top of tag for a fab focal point!

Lynn Put let her gorgeous tag take the centre stage on this beautifully rich and warm autumnal card. We love the cluster of acorns and leaves :)

Cecilie captured our hearts with her sweet mini-tag which is the perfect embellishment to a winter themed card and a super way of adding a sentiment when using busy patterns!

Congrats ladies! If you'd like our Top 3 blinkie to blink with pride on your blogs then feel free to pop us an email (please type 'blinkie' or 'Top 3' as your subject) and we'll email you the code!

Thanks so much to everyone who played along with us! We hope you'll find time to play along with our new challenge tomorrow (and fingers crossed that our linky thingy will behave for us!)

Winners!

Wow!!!! Can you believe we had an amazing 34 entries for our past challenge, For the Boys! (Admittedly a huge thanks goes to Margaret C for getting us to that total with an amazing 10 entries - thanks for sharing all that enthusiasm and inspiration with us!) Thanks to everyone who entered; I know we've got our mojo back on track when it comes to the guy cards now :)

But you're not here to talk numbers now, are you? You want to know the winner of course!

Do your stuff random.org:


Number 10 is super lucky for Vannessa! Congrats Vannessa - you've just won yourself a sweet stamp set! Email us your postal addy to apassionforpapertrey@yahoo.co.uk and we'll get that set out to you ready for inking!

As you can imagine, with so many entries (all of them fabulous!) it made choosing a top 3 even harder than usual. We're not used to having to work our brains quite so hard for this task! But after much consideration, we've narrowed it down to these three projects:



Lynn wowed us with her fabulous inking technique! Not only on those gorgeous leaves to capture them turning to their gorgeous autumnal colours, but the inking on the impressed woodgrain pattern too which gives so much character to a great card for the guys!

Jen grabbed us with that juicy apple! Catering for the younger guys with this card, we loved the cool colour combo along with the fitting use of those background strips for the overall theme!

Wendy's waves waved to us on her cute card! The way she used a die to create a stencil to ink those waves is a fabby idea and perfectly executed with that super fun wale and sentiment :)

Congrats, ladies! If you'd like the Top 3 blinkie to blink with pride then pop us an email with 'blinkie' as your subject (otherwise you may end up in our spam folder!) and we'll get that code to ya!

Thanks to everyone who entered! I hope you can all stick around for our new challenge tomorrow - I have a feeling it's gonna be a challenge that everyone will be able to play along *wink*

And now for our Top 3 PTI Passionistas! Well like every fortnight, you are making this job harder for us! We were inspired so much by the different ways you incorporated borders into your projects - it had us itching to play with borders all over again!

Although we'd love to have had more than 3, we've narrowed it down to the following:

Vannessa went border crazy and had them stealing the spotlight on this fabulous card. What a fun shape of card to create!

Shobana wowed us with this gorgeous monochromatic use theme for her borders. How cool and soothing do all those blues look?! Simply fabulous!

Sharon used her borders cut from different mediums as fabulous embellishments for a thank you card. I know that as a teacher I would LOVE to receive a card as sweet as this :)

Congrats Top 3! If you'd like to blink with pride about being a Top 3 Passionista then pop us an email and we'll the get the code out to ya!

So let's not delay you anymore and draw the winner of a $25 Gift Certificate to PTI:

Number six is super lucky for, Melisa Hunter! Congrats, Melisa! You can pop us an email at apassionforpapertrey@yahoo.co.uk or email Moe directly at moeplut@shaw.ca to collect your gift certificate - have fun spending it :)

And Moe also got a taste on just how tough it can be to narrow down so many fabulous entries down to three! But after much deliberation the following are PTI Passionistas and totally rocked the Wacccky challenge!

Chupa

Karen

Leigh

Congrats ladies! If you'd like a blinkie to show how fabulous you are then pop us an email and we'll send you the code!

A Winner...

Hey!

So sorry to have kept you on the edge of your seats all day with the news of a winner - I'll 'fess up that I've spent most of my soggy bank holiday Monday ironing. Believe me, once I'd started that chore, the time spent with the iron was time wishing I'd done this post BEFORE rather than after tackling the creased garments LOL!

So without further ado, let's see who's a winner:

Here are your random numbers:

5

Timestamp: 2011-05-30 18:55:40 UTC

Which means that Margaret C is our winner! Congrats Margaret! Email us your postal addy and we'll get that Signature Series: Cupcake stamp set out to ya!

Now all of you had a fabulous sing-along to our challenge. We loved to see how music inspired your creations! You made it a tough challenge to pick just 3 of your creations for our Top 3 PTI Passionistas, but we finally managed to wax lyrical and narrow it down to the following:

Angélique 'sweetned' us with these scrummy, sparkly cupcakes with the song 'Sweets for my Sweet' as her musical inspiration. Honestly, we were so close to licking our monitors with those cupcakes ;D

Ulina chose the song 'That's what Friends are for' for her fabulous friend-themed CAS card. So on trend with those chevrons right now!

Chris was inspired by the song 'Celebration' and celebrated in style with this super pretty card. We loved that she layered the flower on a Felt Limitless Layer die to add even more texture. Is there anything that doesn't look fabulous layered on those shapes?!

Congrats ladies! If you'd like a blinkie to blink with pride on your blog then pop us an email at apassionforpapertrey@yahoo.co.uk and we'll send you the code.

Stay tuned for a new challenge tomorrow; it's gonna be a recipe for fun *wink wink*

Which means that Debby is our winner! Congratulations Debby! Email us your postal addy to apassionforpapertrey@yahoo.co.uk and we'll get that sweet li'l stamp set out to ya!

And now onto our Top 3 PTI Passionistas. Well you all captured the season of spring in so many different ways that you made our task just about impossible! We even considered having a Top 5 but then that wouldn't be fair on all the other times we've had to just cut it down to three. So without further ado we decided on the following:

Claire truly captured spring with her beautifully stamped blossom falling from the trees. The mix of delicate, pastel colours truly sums up springtime and the added sparkles make this soooooooo pretty!

Wendy wowed us with this fabulous one-layered card: adding dimension through clear embossing. She cleverly uses the same stamp to represent the leaves of springtime as well as the emerging butterflies - fabulous!

And where's no.3 you ask? Well we felt you needed to see this entry in full, so feast your eyes on this fabulous creation:

Now if Daffodils don't represent springtime, we don't know what does! Shobana's clever pop-up card even has the daffodils blooming before your very eyes! What an amazing project!

Congrats ladies! If you'd like our Top 3 blinkie to blink with pride on your blogs then pop us an email at apassionforpapertrey@yahoo.co.uk and we'll send you the code.

Happy Monday, peeps!

As you may or may not know, we've had a bit of a shuffle around on the blog and will now be announcing winners and our Top 3 PTI Passionistas on the Monday a challenge ends, and introducing our new challenge on the Tuesdays (Just in case you're poised and super eager to check out our new challenge; I don't wanna see you glued to the screen for a challenge that isn't due until tomorrow now!)

So now it's time to draw a randomly selected winner for our 'invitations' challenge. Drum roll please.....

Here are your random numbers:

7 

Timestamp: 2011-03-07 16:51:47 UTC

Lucky number seven is super lucky for...Angélique! Congrats, Angélique! Be sure to email your postal address to us at apassionforpapertrey@yahoo.co.uk so we can send that sweet stamp set out to ya!

Now maybe you were all busy, or all unsure of inviting us over but of those of you who did create fabulous invites made it a toughie to narrow it down to a top 3. After much consideration and oooohing and aaaahing we decided on the following:


Linby went one further from using the outline image from On My Couch and designed her own fabric covers using another stamp! We also love the repetition of the sentiment across the card!

Gerdine wowed us with her use of Up, Up and Away to create these super sweet invites. We hadn't even considered this as a set to use for an invite but it looks fabulous wouldn't you agree?!

Angélique literally took the idea of an invite out of one box and into another with this amazing tea-filled invite all packaged up sweetly into a box! What a super sweet way to invite a friend over for tea!

Congrats ladies! If you'd like to blink with pride on your blogs with our Top 3 blinkie then pop us an email and we'll give you the code!

Now for everyone else, stay tuned tomorrow for our new challenge; I have a feeling you'll go to 'pieces' once you see it *wink*

Mandy: We loved the pretty vintage feel and how she really put those Love Lives Here dies to great use.
Michelle: Michelles tag is perfect for the valentines theme and we loved her use of the Say it With Style sentiment on the tag.
Vanessa: Another very pretty tag and we thought her buttons really lifted this design.

Time to draw a winner from our last challenge which saw all of your easily create something fabulous even out of your comfort zone! Some of you were so brave: delving into styles that I'm still kinda afraid of...eek!

So who did random.org pick as our winner?

Drumroll please....

Here are your random numbers:

Timestamp: 2011-01-25 18:29:57 UTC

Which means that Rachel is our winner! Congrats, Rachel you've just won a sweet stamp set! Email us your postal addy and we'll get that set out to ya!

And now for our Top 3 PTI Passionistas. Well you all proved that it pays to go out of your comfort zone sometimes, and these particular creations really highlighted just that:


Vicki was brave and dared to stamp on to acetate. What a fabulous effect, wouldn't you agree? It's definitely got us thinking about playing with acetate more...maybe even daring to apply ink to it now!

Alicia was willing to try her patience and have a go at lining up her stamp to create this super background. It totally emphasises the circular focal point! Definitely worth all the patience we think!

Tina thew herself into the shabby-chic style with her own CAS twist thrown in for good measure to produce this gorgeous card. We especially love the distressed edges and trim that add that shabby-chic element.

Congrats ladies! If you'd like our Top 3 blinkie to blink with pride on your blog, then feel free to pop us an email (apassionforpapertrey@yahoo.co.uk) and we'll send you the code!

Now maybe you'll want to go back to your comfort zones for a bit after pushing yourself out of them and I can't think of a better way to do this than play along with our new challenge! *wink*

And now for our Top 3 PTI Passionistas:


Imke - Imke's tags look amazing and are even better when you know they've been created from scraps! What a way to make the gift really special.

Lorena - Lorena's card just screams Christmas to us. We loved her clever use of the Christmas tree and the gorgeous paper pieced chair and lamp. The pearls on the tree make the perfect baubles too!

Chris - We loved the mixture of textures on Chris' tea for two card. The subtle use of the woodgrain background on the mat makes the focal point just pop. Fabulous colour combo too!

Pickle maybe a newbie to our challenges, but totally rocked it with this fabulous pinwheel created from a paper punch! So sweet and fun!

Debby not only wowed us with her fabulous design, but also the super clever use of a Bird Punch to create the leaves! Two punches for the price of one - we can't fault that!
