Apologies for the delay in getting this week challenge up and running but I (Lou) have had unwelcome visitors staying in my computer and have had to borrow PC time from family and friends . . . mwahhhhhh to those who have let me take over their PC's! Fingers crossed, things will be sorted by the end of this week.

WOW . . . we were all blown away by the number of entries to last week challenge. Many thanks to everyone who entered, however it did make us all chuckle at the amount of stuff we simply "had to have" but then never use ! ! ! What are we all like ? Maybe we shouldn't answer that question . . . . . Now the lucky winner of the fabby Polka Doodles CD (chosen by Miss Randon.Org this week) is. . .

WOW what a real blast last week was and it was great to see that we are all guilty of having neglected stamps tucked away in drawers. We hope the challenge made you find other hidden treasures that you can use on your future projects.

As always, Mrs Random.Org has chosen the lucky winner and this week it is . . .

Please can you email Elizabeth from Soft Pencil to claim your prize putting "Fab 'n' Funky" challenge winner in the subject line.

This week we have anew sponsor to the challenge blog and we were pleased when Nikky from Polka Doodles agreed to sponsor this weeks challenge.

The lucky winner of this weeks challenge will receive the wonderful "Love & Cherish" CD which is jam packed and incredibly versatile.

Now to win this fab prize, you need to know what this weeks challenge is . . .

. . . well it was brilliant that we all dusted off an old stamp(s), so we thought it only fair that we all now dust off our neglected stash. This could be a paper pack; 12"x12" papers we bought but they were too good to cut (!); embellishments that are still in their packets . . you name it . . we all have that guilty stash secret and to start you off, the DT are going to share their guilty secret(s) with you ! !

Happy Wednesday everyone. We all hope you are well and enjoying the unexpected sunshine we have been receiving in the UK recently . . . now that was a complete surprise ! Yippee, Spring is finally here and it's great to actually get the lawn mower out and cut the grass.

Many thanks to everyone who entered our "ice-cream" themed challenge last week. It was great visiting you all to see how you had used the colours in your project. Unfortunately there can only be one winner and Mrs.Random.Org has chosen . . . .

. . . as we announce the lucky "GDT's" for our challenge blog. NOW . . . . don't you hate it when well known programmes go . . . . "and the winner is" . . . and then you have to listen to dramatic music for what seems like an eternity before you get the winner(s) name or they say "we'll announce the winner after this short commercial break" . . . well we at "Fab 'n' Funky" challenges don't want to follow that unfair trend and will just get straight to the winner(s) names.

Oh before we forget . . . . we must say a HUGE thank you to everyone who entered the GDT call - we really appreciate the time you took to make your project and the DT want to thank you for taking that brave step in putting yourselves forward for the GDT position. If you were unsuccessful this time, please do not be disappointed, we all thoroughly enjoyed visiting each and everyone of you.

Now as we said earlier, the winners are . . . whoops, sorry to interrupt agian but we're not sure if there should be something else we need to tell you all first before announcing the winners . . . no, nothing else to say but to warmly congratulate . . .


Many congratulations ladies and please could you email Lou for all the details regarding your "GDT position". Please put "GDT Winner" in the subject line of your email.

Looking forward to working with you both,

"Fab 'n' Funky" DT
