May winners

Good afternoon, we are mid way through our special Birthday challenge here, lots of entries so far but still another week to go, remember you can join in up to four time and why not as we have some fabulous prizes to be won.

Meanwhile it's the last Friday of the month so we need to announce our winners, both challenges received some lovely entries and we send thank to each and every one of you for joining us.

The lucky winners as selected by Random Org:

Week 822, 48 Denise,  49 Anne (8/6/ not claimed) and 108 Jan

 Week 823, no 30 Nat

Congratulations everyone, please mail me by Friday 6th June with your full name and postal address. 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.

Challenge 824 - Happy 16th Birthday Allsorts

A very good morning to you all, it's Brenda here to welcome you to our 16th Birthday challenge where we have a nice and easy theme and some fabulous prizes.

The years seems to have sped by as it seems like only yesterday we nervously introduced our first challenge when they were a whole new concept, so much has changed in the world of crafting since then.

At the risk of seeming overly nostalgic I scrolled back to those early days of 2009 and came up with a few of the DT makes below from that first challenge where we tried to depict the challenge name (those in the UK will recognise Allsorts sweets). Looking through I recognised a few names in Top 5 lists who are still regular entrants: Pinky, Val/Aquarius, Helen B, Sherri and I'm sure there are more as well.

Back to today and we send thanks to all of our entrants for their continued support and of course the wonderful companies who provide prizes throughout the year, without all of you there would be no Allsorts challenge. 

Our Birthday theme for you is simply....

Anything Goes

The only requirement to be eligible is as always, you must provide make and details of the focal elements used to create your entry and of course link to us. Don't forget you can enter five (5) times.

The wonderful Guys at AALL and Create are giving a fabulous collection of products which will be split four ways with those winners selected by Random Org.

Plus we have some special prizes just for our US based entrants (selected by Random Org.,), a $25 store voucher from Lawn Fawn, three stamps from Colorado Craft Company and a $25 store voucher from Gina K Designs (offering a Worldwide winner)
