Winners - Challenge #35 - All Creatures Great and Small

Better late than never, here are the winners for Challenge #35 - All Creatures Great and Small.

The winner, chosen at random, of an $8 gift certificate to Phindy's store is --- KATERI.

Kateri (a.k.a. Katie) created this super frame as a Christmas gift for the kids' Great-Grandmother and it fit the challenge perfectly since young children are small creatures.  Katie combined two Phindy images, Spring Dress Emma and Smooch to make this wonderful keepsake.

The winner of card of the week as chosen by the design team is  ---  SHIRL C. --- with this gorgeous card featuring Grand Dame.  Shirl has added wonderful little beads to make Grand Dame the most elegantly dressed mouse.  Shirl has won a 20% discount voucher to Phindy's store and will now be in the running to be a Guest Designer.

Congratulations ladies and please email Phindy to claim your prizes.

Our current challenge, which is all about making a Thank You card with your scraps, will run until next Friday so make sure you show us your creations.

Happy New Year to all our Phindy Phriends and we look forward to seeing your fabulous work in our challenges throughout 2011.

Phindy's Place Challenge #36 - Give Thanks With Scraps

Good Morning!  It's Christmas Eve and I hope you are all ready for Christmas, with your card made and written, presents wrapped and your mince pies baked!

We have some changes in store for you at Phindy's Place for you today.  First of all, to give the fantabulous Design Team a little time off over Christmas, this Challenge will run for two weeks, closing on 7 January 2011.

Also, after much thought, we have decided to open the challenge to all-comers and you will no longer need to use a Phindy's Place image to enter.  However, what we love best of all is to see your projects that use Phindy's Place images!  If you enter using a Phindy's Place image, you will get two entries to the draw to win a gift certificate.  To do this, enter your project as usual to Inklinkz.  Then, make a further entry (you won't be able to link to the same blog entry) and, this time, leave your name with "Phindy image" added.


The winner of the Challenge will be chosen by Random.org and will receive an $8 Gift Certificate to the Phindy's Place store. As it says above, entrants using a Phindy's Place image will get a second entry to the draw.  The Pick of the Week wins a 20% off voucher for the Phindy's Place store. Don't forget that once a month we will choose an overall winner from the weekly winners and they will be offered a Guest position on the DT - and of course a free image from Phindy's Place to use for that week's challenge! 


OK now on to the Challenge...  This week we are making "Thank You" cards and projects, everyone needs Thank You cards after Christmas!  There is an additional, optional challenge to use up your scraps.  If you're like me, after the rush of Christmas card making there is a whole mountain of scraps lying around to choose from!  I hope to see lots and lots of lovely entries.


Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the Design Team at Phindy's Place, here are some fantastic Phindy projects for you to enjoy:


First we have a marvellous card from our DT Guest, Jackie Mooney.   Stunning card Jackie, thanks!
