March Winners and Top 3

This month got off to a slow start but we ended with 49 entries to our Moonlight Challenge. Every one of the entries is wonderful and deserves to win.  The design team had a tough time deciding on our top 3 with each of us focusing on different uniqueness's in the designs submitted.  As a result I am expanding this month to the top 5! And it is a good thing that we have two prizes to give away!


The main prize this month is a gift certificate to the Stampscapes store from Kevin Nakagawa. 


The random winner is 
#13 - Gail.  


Please email me and I will get Kevin to send your gift certificate for $25! Here is your winning badge to add to your blog!



The second random winner will be sent a few unused Stampscapes that I have extra from buying sets.  And this lucky winner is.....
#32 Maggie


Please email me Maggie with your address and I will send out the stamps right away.


The top FIVE winners are.........


#7 Nathalie Fournier (Magouille on Split Coast Stampers)




#29 Sally - Craft Salutations




#49 Debbie (I think she is on the Stampscapes Yahoo group)




#18 Sue - Sue's Craft Corner




#26 Dora - Dora's Craft Corner




Here is your badge ladies - display it proudly!


Stop by on Sunday to find out the theme for April and who our wonderful sponsor will be.

One Last Moonlight Scene

Yesterday when I was preparing the post of cards emailed to me, I knew that there was another one I should have posted but I just could not find it.  That's the trouble with being in a hurry, isn't it?  Anyway, I did find this wonderful card from Debbie in my email inbox.  My apologies, Debbie for taking so long to post.



Thanks for stopping by. Please send Debbie a little love in this post as she does not have a blog as yet.

Hi everyone, I have a few email entries for you from Margaret and Dawn in the UK. Turns out these ladies are mother and daughter.  Since they do not have a blog to post their wonderful projects you will have to leave them some love on this post.


Dawn

Final Week of the Moonlight Challenge

This week we gently stepped into Spring and it is about time too.  Yesterday was beautiful and sunny here on the West Coast.  Hopefully the weather where you live has begun to improve.  


Well it is Sunday again and time for our Moonlight inspiration from Lisa and Kittie.


Kittie

Our sponsor this month is Kevin from Stampscapes.  The random winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to the store.  I also have a few extra Stampscapes that I will give away as a second prize.  That's two prizes this month!

Don't be shy, we are waiting to see your wonderful work.  Your project must be new (no backlinking) and it must be of a moonlight scene.  Don't forget, you may enter up to three times!

We will be back next Saturday with our two winners and top 3 and then again on Sunday with our next challenge.

Moonlight Challenge - Week #3

Another week has flown by and it is time for our inspiration Sunday with designers Shaz, Anja and Nancy.  Be sure and hop over to their blogs and leave a little love.


Shaz


Don't forget our sponsor this month is Kevin from Stampscapes.  The random winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to the store. I just ordered some stamps for myself from Kevin and received them in the mail in just a couple of days. That is great service considering the distance and the border crossing!

Anja


Moonlight has been a great theme.  I have actually seen the moon a couple of times this month. One night it was huge and quite full on the horizon.  The light was shining so bright that I could have driven without my headlights on. 
Nancy


Don't be shy, we are waiting to see your wonderful work.  There are still two weeks left in the challenge and we can't wait to see what you come up with.  Your project must be new (no backlinking) and it must be of a moonlight scene.  Don't forget, you may enter up to three times!

We will be back next Sunday with more inspiration from Kittie and Lisa.

Moonlight Challenge #3 - More Inspiration

Good Sunday morning to you!


Are you all tired from having Day Light Savings creep up on you?  Did you remember to Spring forward your clocks last night??  Well we managed to turn most of them.  This is the time of year that I rediscover that I have too many clocks in the house.


Anyway, I bet you want me to get onto this weeks inspiration from Olga and Sandy.  Hope over to their blogs to see an explanation of how they made these incredible cards.





Our wonderful design team has done it again!  Aren't these amazing creations?  I just love how we have the same theme but everyone comes up with a different take while making their scene.


Don't be shy, we are waiting to see your wonderful work.  There are still three weeks left in the challenge and we can't wait to see what you come up with.  Your project must be new (no backlinking) and it must be of a moonlight scene.  Don't forget, you may enter up to three times!


We will be back next Sunday with more inspiration from Shaz and Anja.

Challenge #3 - Moonlight

So, what do you think of the new blog design?  I thought it would be fun to have a different background representing each challenge. 


We saw some amazing winter scenes last month both from the design team and the contestants.  Congratulations to the top 3 (Anna, Kerstin and Deanna) and our random winner (Fixi). 


Our theme for March is Moonlight.  Some of us are still in the grips of old man winter and some are seeing tree buds and the tender shoots of Spring bulbs.  Let your newly created scene show us what the shining moon illuminates in your area or just show us a really great moonlight scene.




Our sponsor this month is Kevin from Stampscapes with a $25 gift certificate.  We are very happy to have Kevin represented because our blog is fashioned after the idea of creating scenes with stamps like Stampscapes.  There are many other companies that make scenic stamps.  You can check out just a few of them on our "Scenic Stamps" tab.


Now for the design team inspiration:


Lisa - Lisa's Paper Fun


Anja - Stamping Anja


Kittie - Kittie Kraft


Sheree - Vancouver Island Craft Junkie


Olga - Craftie o Damae


Sandy - Creative Moments With Sandy


Shaz - Silver Wolf Cards


Nancy - Crafting Passions


Please consider giving our wonderful design team a little love and show your appreciation for the wonderful projects they have for us this month.


Ok, now it is your turn!  The challenge starts today and goes until 6:00 PM Pacific on Friday, March 30th.  Please link directly to your blog post (not your generic blog address).  Your project must be new (no backlinking) and it a moon must be included scene.  Don't forget, you may enter up to three times!


We will be back next Sunday with more inspiration.


Have a wonderful Sunday!
