Challenge # 32 Baby days

Hello and good morning fellow crafters! This is Marie "speaking". I have taken over the B team as Jackie has decided to step down and leave us. We'll miss you sweetie! But the show must go on and here I am! I hope that I can take on this team as good as Jackie did and if I get only half way I would be a happy team leader.

So my friends, a new week and a new challenge. This week we have babies on our mind. Any baby you can think of. Hmm, that makes you think a little doesn't it? Good! We want to see many maaaany entries the coming week so I don't get sacked right away. LoL

But before I let you go to your crafting area we need to have a winner from last week, and that would be No 51! Congratulations Rina Fashionista! Please contact Donna via the e-mail button to claim your prize. Enjoy! Also a big thank you to Kenny K for sponsoring us.

Challenge #31 Embossing

Good Morning, Good Morning, or is it? I'm really sad that we had so few  participants for last week's challenge, was it the challenge itself? or what? I'd love to hear some feedback from you, see if we can improve on things.

Anyways it's a new week and a new challenge, this week it's Embossing - Wet or Dry and I'm sure we'll see more Dry than wet, as there is such a variety of Embossing folders out there. I know I've not done any wet embossing for years now.

***************************

Question of the Week - Do you want to see the Top 3 reinstated, so the Top 3 can be given a badge to put on your blog?

Challenge # 30 Tootie Fruitie

Good Morning One and All, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter with your family, and that the Easter bunny made his appearance and left you lots of chocolate (he left me a lot...shame on him lol)

Before we get to the winner of last week's challenge and onto this challenge, I have a couple of announcements to make

**************************************************

Firstly, I'm afraid Jackie has decided to step down from the Bearly Mine Design Team as well as her other DT's, due to a lack of Mojo and enjoying life too much at the moment, so I've decided to expand the Design Team and will be looking for an additional few members to join us here at Bearly Mine Designs. If you'd like to know what's expected of you, please visit the post on my shop blog.

Jackie we're going to miss you and your fabulous sense of humour, but we all wish you well and will see you again when your MOJO comes back, thank you for all that you have done as a Team Member and Team Leader.

*********************************

Now it looks like I made the last challenge a little too difficult for everyone, I thought it would have been a great chance for you to use up some of your scraps and come up with a lovely patchwork  design on your cards..........ah well, you can't win them all.

This week's challenge is TOOTIE FRUITEE........which means we'd like to see some sort of fruit on your card, whether it be the image, the papers, or even a fruit charm or ribbon, the choice is yours. Team B has come up with some lovely cards for your inspiration.

WINNER....WINNER....WINNER..........I'd like to congratulate Anne for her lovely patchwork card she submitted, Mr. Random.org chose her. Anne if you would contact me @ bearlymine-designs@virginmedia.com, I will make arrangements for you to collect your prize from Fred She Said.

This week's SPONSOR is the lovely Denise from Whimsy Stamps, who is offering the winner FIVE digi stamps of their choice.

Now check out the fabulous cards from Team B for some ideas and inspiration
