Wow! Can you believe it? Our little challenge is 2 years old this fortnight. We have some amazing announcements and fabulous prizes for you this week, so don't go anywhere, but first we want to thank all of you who played along with Arianne's sketch, and pick a winner.
Random.org picked number 18, making our lucky winner, Cyndi from Strawberries n' Cream, with this great bag:
Congratulations Cyndi! Send us an email (address in the sidebar) and we'll get your prize of a $10 gift voucher from Stitchy Bear Stamps sorted out for you.
Two Big Announcements
Okay so as part of our birthday celebrations, we have two big announcements to make. Firstly, may I present to you our newest design team members, Gry, Sarah, Donna, Kathrin, Barbara, Samantha and Uma. We love them already, and we're sure you will too. Unfortunately, this will also be the last challenge for long standing DT member Arianne, who we are all very sad to see go, and wish all the best to!
Secondly, and here's the big one - Sunday Sketch & Stamp is going weekly! That's right - we're doubling your dose. You'll now be able to join us every single Sunday for a new sketch, DT inspiration, and fabulous prizes!
Challenge 52
The sketch this week is set by me, Maggie - I hope you like it:
Also, we're asking that you join us in celebrating our birthday by making your card to a birthday theme (just like the DT have done below). Simply make your card, then blog it and pop a link to your blog entry in the InLinkz below - remember to follow our simple rules.
Blog Hop
As part of our huge celebrations, we are also having a blog hop. Simply visit each DT member's blog (the links are below along with their cards) and make a note of their birthday (which will be included in their post for this challenge). Then email a list of all the names and birthdays to the challenge email (see the sidebar), and you could be in with a chance of winning a fabulous prize. Also, while you are visiting the blogs keep an eye out - some of the girls are offering some delicious candy!
Prizes
We have loads of prizes up for grabs this week. Firstly there will be two lucky winners of the main challenge, who could win either
A set of gorgeous owl ribbons from Crafty Ribbons (I'm jealous - these are my favourite):
Or a set of the 5 most popular digi stamps from our regular sponsor, Crafts 4 Eternity.
There will also be 2 winners from our blog hop, who will win either:
A £10 gift voucher to spend at the amazing Kut 4 U online store:
Or a $20 gift voucher to use at C K Scrappers:
As if that wasn't enough, we want to offer a prize if you help spread the word about our big birthday challenge, so we will also be offering the Crafts 4 Eternity digi stamp selection pack to two lucky followers who mention us on twitter (@SunSketchStamp), or Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/SundaySketchAndStamp), and then post a comment on this blog letting us know you have done so, and where.
