or 

Anything Goes

As always there must be some stamping on the front of your entry and brief details of products used.

February winners and Top 3

The month has sped by and already it's time to announce our winners and Top 3. As always some beautiful entries and we thank each and every one of you for joining us.

First we need to tell you about some changes which have been prompted by yet more increases in postal rates and changes to Customs requirement relating to the USA and Australia. It was a difficult decision to make and we hope you will understand why we will no longer ship physical prizes to those destinations. We are so very sorry about this but hope you will still join in and share your lovely creations for a chance of Top 3 recognition.

The winners as selected by Random Org are no 29 Avril, no 91 Maryann

Well done to you all, please mail me by Friday 7th March with your full names and postal addresses.Any prize unclaimed by that date will either be re-drawn and new winners notified direct or returned to the prize box.

Winners outside the UK: Prizes are always sent as gifts, but sometimes Customs fees are added in your own Country, this is out of out control so by claiming your prize you are accepting responsibility for any fees and we cannot assist should this happen.

Now for our Top 3 as voted for by the Design Team, a difficult decision as always....

No 11 Loll

No 40 Rosi

No 44 Milla

Congratulations, well deserved recognition. Please collect your badge for your own blogs. 

Hope you will all come back on Sunday for our new challenge.

CAS inspiration

Good morning, welcome to our mid month inspirational post where the Design Team have been busy making more CAS inspired cards. So many lovely entries already and if CAS is not your thing, there's always the option of Anything Goes.

The challenge runs until Wednesday 26th so plenty of time to add another entry for the chance of winning one of the two prizes of Lavinia stamps and stencil.

February challenge

Welcome to our February challenge and this month we are focusing on a theme elected by Faith, it's....

CAS 

(Clean and Simple)

along with Anything Goes

We know from reading your blogs it's a theme many of us struggle with, it'a always so tempting to add a bit more, then a bit more, but if it's just too far outside your comfort zone there's always Anything Goes to fall back on. 

Usual rules apply which you can find here and most importantly there must be some stamping on the front of your entry and a few details about products used.

Two prizes of Lavinia stamps and stencil (photos not to scale). (Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway).

The Design Team have been very restrained and produced a wonderful display of CAS cards....
