Challenge # 10 - "BINGO"

Hello All

Well what a difference a month makes . . . last month basking in glorious sunshine and this month treading water with all the rain we've been having !!!   I'm seriously considering investing in an Ark project, 'cos if it doesn't stop raining soon we're going to need one, lol ! 
Still my garden is looking lush and lovely for it and so I guess every cloud DOES have a silver lining (literally, lol).

A big thank you to all our friends who joined in with the sketch challenge last month, we had some lovely entries and it was interesting to see how varied the entries were considering everyone was using the same starting point.

Before I go any further it's time to announce the lucky winner of the Meiflower goody bag (oh, how jealous we all are !!!)

As usual the winner was chosen by Mr. Random.org


That was Chrissy of Chrissy's Cardland

Many congratulations Chrissy please contact me at apassion4paper@gmail.com with your snail mail and you will be sent the goody bag.
and this was Chrissy's lovely entry.  





Now eyes down for the next RTG challenge . . .

Challenge #9 - "It's a little Sketchy"

Another month has gone by and what a lovely month it was . . . record temperatures for March, how fantastic is that???  I do hope it continues . . . I always feel so much happier when I'm looking up at a blue sky.

Also on the subject of fantastic . . . we have six super new Design Team members and a very talented bunch they are too.

I'd like to introduce WendyCarrieKellyClaireHelen and Debs

The girls have been warmly welcomed to the team and I think they have already settled well judging by the inspirational pieces they've produced for you this month.



Now, before we get on to the new challenge for April, it's time to thank all those who joined in with the last challenge and I need to apologise to you.
I had some issues with the Blue Frog [he didn't behave at all well, lol ] and therefore it wasn't possible for any members of the DT to get around to your blogs to comment.   They couldn't access the entry links at all.
Hopefully though I didn't forget anyone and left a message for each of you.
These issues have been resolved now and so this shouldn't happen again, we do value your participation and love visiting your blogs.

And on to choosing and announcing the winner of the last challenge.

I will be leaving the choosing as usual to Mr. Random.org [he's so good at it and I don't have to take any of the pressure, lol !!!]

The winner of Challenge #8 - "It's a Wrap" was number 3, that was you, Mary C.
Congratulations to you sweetie, please email me at apassion4paper@gmail.com with your snail mail address to claim your prize.



Loved this card Mary.


Right now onto the next . . .

April's challenge involves a sketch, we hope that you will enjoy joining in.

.

You may rotate the sketch if you wish - just as long as we can recognise the basic design.  Of course you MUST feature a teddy/bear [the sweeter the better, lol] as the main image to qualify.

This month's prize is a fantastic goody bag generously sponsored by Meiflower




We all want to win this one, lol !!!

Here's what the RTG Design Team came up with to inspire you






























and Me, Julie Ann


A collection of cuteness I'm sure you would agree.

Have fun !!!
