Challenge 89 - Earn Your Stripes

Welcome to our latest challenge, thanks to all the participants in our floral frenzy challenge, the enormous amount of entries really blew us away.  HOWEVER we do ask that you read our rules, we had to delete quite a few entries in the last challenge which is a shame.

This challenge is all about stripes on your projects, anything with stripes is great by us.
We have three fantastic sponsors for this challenge....

Thanks so much to all three :)

And here are our DT projects....

Winners - Floral Frenzy

Time to announce the winners for our latest challenge.  BUT before I do I just wanted to give a little reminder of our challenge rules, it was pretty disappointing this time around that when I was checking on the entries being thrown out by the random number generator I had to keep getting it to repick as they didn't follow our guidelines.

Please only link to 8 other challenges Plus ours (so 9 total)
One entry per person
No backlinking over one week from the start of our challenge
If you are from Australia or New Zealand if you don't add NZ or Aus after your name in the links you can not be put in the draw for the downunder prize.

That is it - not difficult :)  I really hope our next challenge is a little quicker to get the winners for.

So now onto the winners.......

Challenge - Floral Frenzy

Challenge day here at SGC and I have  really sad news to share, my lovely co- founder Tracy has decided to step down for the rest of this year to focus on family.  I will miss her loads but I know that this is really important to her :)

This Challenge we want to see a floral frenzy on your projects.  Remember that we love all types of papercraft so as long as it has flowers you are welcome to enter.

This challenge we welcome Lyne to our team and also welcome back Nik who has rejoined us after a 6 month rest :)  We are still looking for 2 new members of team Trace, we would love a couple of teamies from NZ or Australia if possible, if think you may be interested please email me at louiseforsyth.su{at}gmail{dot}com
