Challenge #53 - Glitter, Glamour and Glitz

Good Morning and welcome to this week's Phindy's Place Challenge, I hope you enjoyed the birthday blog hop last week!  Stay tuned after the weekend for the winners of the challenge of the hop.  This week our challenge is to bring a bit of glamour to your crafting:  the theme is glitter, glamour and glitz.  You don't have to use one of Phindy's images, but we love it when you do - and you get a second entry into the prize draw!

You can win two prizes, one winner will be chosen at random from the entries and will win a $5 gift certificate to the Phindy's Place Store and one entry will win Pick of the Week which will also have a $5 gift certificate prize.  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!  The full rules are listed in the sidebar, please check them out before you enter.

Here's some gorgeous glamour for your inspiration from the Design Team:

Happy 1st Birthday to us! Blog Hop and Paper Piecing Challenge

 Good Morning and welcome to the Phindy's Place Challenge! Yes, it's our first birthday and we're hoping you will share the fun and celebrations with us!  It is one whole year  since we began posting challenges on the blog, I can't believe a year has gone so fast!

Our challenge this week is paper piecing and the usual prizes are up for grabs, however we aren't posting the DT's cards on here, we would love you to play along for a blog hop and collect a word from each posting. When you've got the full sentence, please post it in the comments on the blog (which will be hidden until the hop is over!) and you could win a $10 Voucher to use at Phindy's Place.  You aren't required to leave comments at each blog, but we'd love it if you do leave some love for the DT!  Blog Hop is open until midnight (GMT) 28 April.

I have another exciting piece of news to share with you:  Mona Eidhammer has kindly agreed to join the Design Team, Mona applied for the DT earlier this year and was very high in the running to make the team.  I'm so happy to have Mona here and would like to give her a big WELCOME from all the Team!

So this week, you have THREE chances to win: the blog hop, the random winner of the challenge and the pick of the week. So what are you waiting for?

Challenge #51 - Colour Challenge - Purple and Teal

Good Morning and welcome to this week's Phindy's Place Challenge.  I have some sad news:  our totally talented Tammy is stepping down from the Design Team this week.  Tammy was one of Phindy's first customers way back when and she has been with us since the very beginning of the Challenge Blog.  We'll miss you Tammy and I can only echo the sentiment on your final card!

On to the challenge, which was set by Lynda - use purple and teal as the main colours in your card or project. You don't have to use one of Phindy's images, but we love it when you do - and you get a second entry into the prize draw!

You can win two prizes, one winner will be chosen at random from the entries and will win a $5 gift certificate to the Phindy's Place Store and one entry will win Pick of the Week which will also have a $5 gift certificate prize.  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!  The full rules are listed in the sidebar, please check them out before you enter.

Please put next week in your crafting diary - it is our first anniversary as a challenge, we have been challenging you for a year!  There will be some extragoodies on offer and I do hope you can play along.

For this week we have some teal and purple perfection from the DT for you to feast your eyes on:
