Cupcake craft challenge #105 – DT card

Hello again, I’m back to share with you my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  Keep reading to the end of my post as I will be announcing the winner of my personal blog hop candy.  This week’s challenge has been chosen by the lovely Shelly and she has chosen “blue and green” as our theme.  For my card I stamped yet again (!) and used another new stamp, this time it’s “snow white” from kraftin’ kimmie stamps (isn’t she so beautiful).  Here is my card:

I cut around the image as she was a little large for the sketch and even though I’m not very good at cutting out things I even cut around the star flourish (a clear stamp by verve) which took me forever lol!

Our sponsor this week is the cutting cafe and one lucky winner will receive 3 digi sets of their own choice (and you will be spoilt for choice as they have lots of lovely images and sentiments to choose from). 

The rest of the DT have created beautiful samples once again this week so why not pop over and take a look, you won’t be disappointed!!  Whilst you are there why not leave them a nice comment as they are so appreciated. 

Again I’m still catching up with all the challenges so will link my card up later but I know I can enter my card at cute card Thursday challenge (as I used their sketch) and also kraftin’ kimmie challenge (whose theme is “you’re a star baby”). 

Now for the exciting bit, as you know we were celebrating our 2nd birthday over at cupcake craft challenge last week and we had a blog hop for you to take part in with lots of lovely prizes up for grabs.  All the winners are being announced over on the main blog along with the new challenge but I also would like to announce the winner of my personal blog hop candy (which was a gorgeous stamp set by the greeting farm called “xmas sweeties”).  The lucky winner is:

Candy winner and an apology!

Hi everyone – just a quick post today to announce the winner of my blog candy (how exciting).  Firstly I just want to let you know that I’m not ignoring you and to apologise for the lack of DT cards this week.  I know some of you are already aware that I was in a minor car accident last Tuesday and as a result I have been suffering from whiplash.  My neck and shoulder are still causing me some pain and discomfort and because of this I’m off work recuperating.  My lovely son is doing me the honour of typing this post for me whilst I closely keep an eye on him!! 

Ok, now for the bit that you are all interested in – the lucky winner of my blog candy.  I want to say a big thank you to everyone that took the time to enter and for sharing the news about my candy throughout blogland!!  Without any more blabbing from me, the lucky winner of my candy is -

No. 168 (chosen by random.org – sorry I couldn’t get the picture up from the blog) and that is                                    SUE U

Congratulations to you Sue U – please email me and I will arrange for you prize to be sent out to you. 

Have a brilliant day and thanks for stopping by.
