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

Challenge #28 - 3,2,1

Good Morning Everybody, Donna here filling in for Jackie, who is still on her hols, you'll have to forgive me if there is any typo's as I am typing with one finger on my left hand, as I have a cannula hooked up to my right hand at the moment, been for my first day of IVig treatment which took six and a half hours to administer and wouldn't you know it but they put it in my right hand and I am right handed.......how typical. I'd also like to thank everyone that entered our challenge last week....I really appreciate the huge participation, and hopefully it will continue to grow each week.

Anyways enough about me, Jackie and Team B have the challenge this week and Jackie has chosen 3,2,1 for the theme, so as long as you have 3 of something, 2 of something else and finally 1 of something on your card, then this challenge is for you.

Now I've decided to go with Random.org as the picker of the winner for each challenge, and Mr. Random has chosen # 48 Iluia

We're Back with Challenge #27

Good Morning Everybody, yes that's right, Bearly Mine Challenges is back, the girls and I have had a nice break, and I've spent a little more time recovering, and am now ready to get back into the world of crafting. I still struggle with doing fiddly bits on my cards as my hands don't work so well, but I'm having fun again.

Now the BIG change to the Challenge blog is, we have split the girls into two teams, so we have now become a WEEKLY challenge blog, and this week we have some gorgeous creations from TEAM "A" to inspire you.

I also want to thank all the girls that have stuck with me during this time, I do have a wonderful and fabulous Design Team and I love them all.....Mwah

For our first challenge, I've chosen the theme of "Dots", to celebrate the newest Digi Set in the shop called "Mini Dots", a digi set filled with 95 sheets of papers in almost every color you could think of.

and don't forget there is also the "Simply Dots" digi set if you prefer bigger dots

Our prize this week is the Winner's Choice of TWO digi sets from
