Winners - Challenge #60 - Black & White

We are sorry to be late with the winners' post for the Black & White challenge but we had a tie for Card of the Week and waited to hear back from Phindy to break it but she has better things on her mind - snuggling that adorable new Granddaughter - and didn't get back to us yet, which is perfectly understandable.  Rather than waiting any longer a husband was pressed into service, the two names were put into a hat and he drew one so read on to see whose name he chose.

First, our random winner of a $5 gift certificate to Phindy's store is TIP TOP.

And without further ado, the Card of the Week is by TRACY MacDONALD with this adorable card featuring Beary Beautiful. Tracy's prize is a $5 gift certificate to Phindy's store and she will also be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Congratulations ladies and please email Phindy to claim your prize.

Challenge #61 - Going round in circles

Good Morning and welcome to a new Phindy's Place Challenge. The black and white challenge seemed to cause a bit of confusion, this week we have set a very straightforward challenge, which is to use circles on your project.

While you're working on this simple challenge, don't forget that next week we have our first Phabulous Phindy Friday: this is an Anything Goes Challenge with a twist: you can make absolutely anything, combine it with as many other challenges as you like, as long as you use a Phindy's Place image and have made a NEW project for the challenge - no backlinking please!

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.

This week we have a stunning card to showcase from our Guest Designer, Ellen Kristiansen, isn't this gorgeous?  And following Ellen's card you can enjoy some circular creativity from the fabulous Phindy Design Team
