Winners and Top Three for Challenge# 19

Last fortnight Challenge #19 was asking you to:

Alter a tin or jar -  in the theme of Vintage

Seems as if you found it a bit difficult to fit this one in but

as Hilde said to the team "Hi girls, well it was expected in a way as it was a real 'challenge'. But I am so glad that we did have some brave ones take part..."

Our sponsor for this challenge was:

From being a bit of a ‘doodler’ her whole life, Margy Kieser saw a gap in 2010 and bought Digistamps4Joy from the previous owner, and can now earn a little money with her doodles! Margy has 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren, and lives in sunny South Africa. Together with another SA artist (Jen) and a fabulous Design team, Digistamps4Joy is now a well known online digistamp store, and is still the only online shop for digistamps in South Africa. With nearly 1,000 digis to choose from, you will find unique, cute, humorous, or serious images to play with. DS4J gives away 1 freebie on the first Friday of every month, as well as 1 digi to a randomly drawn winner in our Monday Facebook challenge. Our Blog showcases the newest digis released every Sunday, and bi-weekly challenges are held.

Digistamps4Joy is proud to sponsor this challenge, and is offering a prize of $10 worth of DS4J digis to the challenge winner.

So, who could this be?

No: 4 Mrs A

A repurposed Bourbon (whisky?) bottle - isn't that soooo pretty!

Comment by Hilde: What a beautiful way to re use a bottle, just gorgeous, love the colours and all the embellishments, I would happily have this in my house

Congratulations Mrs A - remember, there are new rules about the prize winners from now on: 

NEW Rules for Guest Designers...
A slight change : Starting from this challenge, Winners and 
Top 3 have the chance to become our Guest Designer if they so choose....
So if you are a winner, you must contact us within the week for the details...... Our contact details are at the top tab and please put Guest Designer in the subject line...thanks. 
 Ina has put her hand up to be the Guest Designer Coordinator and if you choose to be a GD she will be in contact with you.

So, Mrs A, please contact Judith for your prize information, and if you wish to be a Guest Designer also, contact Ina - you will find this information at the top tab called Winners/Contact Details.  You can also copy/paste your winners badge from the side bar and brag a little! And perhaps get another bourbon bottle completed to make a matching pair?

Now, for the Top Three - our Teamie Wynn had the task of selecting these three this fortnight: remember, these are not in any order and I have added Wynn's comments.  Sorry, no prizes ladies but you can copy/paste the Top Three badge from the sidebar and share with your readers!

Kym's Crafty Cards 

So pretty. Fab colour and I loved the sentiment

Sarah JW 

Altering the jar to a pin cushion was an inspiring idea.

Rea 

Lots of details especially loved the cute bow and arrow and pretty heart.

Congratulations to all three of you and remember, please contact Ina if you are interested in being a Guest Designer for our blog by going to the Winners tab at the top of the page.

So, now we know who are winners from the last challenge are it is time to move on to the new challenge and see what fun Hilde has created for us this time!

CARD Challenge#20: Use a freebie

Our new challenge is a fun one for you: it is to

 use a freebie digi 

 and provide the link to it in your blog

There are so many wonderful blogs that provide freebies, and if you are not sure just check the Free Digital Stamps blog ..... they share links every day on freebies that are available on the net.

This is also an opportunity to say thanks to the Digi Artists that love sharing their talents for free.

There is no Sponsor for this Challenge #20 either: however, the winner for this challenge will receive a 

surprise gift 

 I can reveal it's a stamp or an embossing folder ....

There you are - time to go and create and enter the challenge - don't forget to be a follower if you are not already, and to link back to your post for your free digital card rather than your blog. It is part of the Challenge that you make a card only and also link to the freebie image: any entry that does not do this will not be considered for the prize or Top Three.
