Just an ordinary Friday!

Well not that ordinary...LOL. Today no "What's Sproutin' Up" header and sadly to say no new goodies...But that doesn't mean we're going to keep this a simple, ordinary post...No! That wouldn't be like us at all! I've got a fun challenge announcement and a fantastic give-away....Yes you've heard that right!

Let me start of with this fun challenge Miranda is hosting in our forum...It's an alpha challenge!!! And you don't want to miss this! Check out the thread here for all details... I am going to tell you what you could win and I so wish I could play and win this challenge. The winner gets a custom made wordart or a couple of single words by our own Gina Marie... How cool is that?? So make sure you play along!

Btw...did you know the Site CT girls host several challenges in our forum with some awesome prizes and then for being active in our forums and gallery, you could always get a little RAK from one of our ladies! :)

Then on to the fantastic give away, which I know you'll love... And well just because we love all you weedsters out there for supporting us and since we don't have any new releases today, we just wanted to spread some love!! So who wants a piece of this yummy collection??

HG_collection

I will be giving away each part of this collection to 10 lucky ladies...All we want to know from you is this:

Tell us something fun you want to do this weekend.. even if you don't think you can do it... just something you want to do - and then we challenge you to do it!! :) Gotta find time to live life :)

And to add a little thing - we would love to know which part of the collection you would like to have, so we know what to give you if you're one of those 10 lucky ladies! ;) The image is linked if you want to have a closer look, or you could browse the shoppe! What do you think...?? Isn't that awesome!!??

I'll be back here Sunday during the day to announce the 10 winners! Ok, my lovely weedsters can't wait to see what all you come up with and enjoy whatever you're going to do this weekend, cause you are doing it right? LOL

Yoohoo it's friday and of course that means new goodies!!! Other than that I also have a couple of fabulous announcements today...!

Let me start with telling you how much we appreciate all the support and the beautiful pages we see in our Weeds & Wildflowers gallery, that is just amazing! And also thanks for sticking with us when we had a little server trouble during the party. I had so much fun during the party and kind of sad that it's over now...Now we'll have to wait for another year to pass by!! :( But well since the party is over I do have some winners to announce! So I won't let you girls wait any longer after my little rambling here! LOL...

Here are the winners who won an amazing GC to the weeds & wildflowers shoppe...

Elsie Ciardiello - won a $25 GC
Joan Esau - won a $50 GC

GAY NAYLOR!!!!!

Please help me in congratulating these ladies with their prize! :) Gina will be contacting you ladies about your prize!

Then just a little note about yesterday's Mystery Gallery Layout game. Nobody commented on the mystery layout, so sadly nobody wins :(

Now on to the subject of the day...New goodies!!! Yeeah!

flying flowers

Pat has created this beautiful pack of Flying Flowers ~ A flurry of artistic butterflies created in watercolors with layers of soft dry pastels. Each colorful butterfly is embellished with fragile pressed flowers - or plain in three different poses for a total of 72 butterflies!!! YES 72!!

wire frames

Then Heidi & Gina teamed up and created this amazing pack of "Playing With Wire - Frames"! This set includes 10 frames in three versions, shiny, rustic and as an extra you'll also get 10 distressed stamped frames. So you'll get a total of 30 frames. There are so many possibilities with these beautiful and intricate frames that you will find your layouts incomplete without them!!!

So first off...let me show all the fabulous new goodies Heidi, Pat and Gina made for you ladies! Of course I need to start with those gorgeous pressed flower packs...

Right out of their grandma's garden come these beautiful pressed flowers. For many years, their grandmother, Erma Bates, grew and preserved flowers of all kinds to put on bookmarks, cards, and other various craft items. Having inherited her crafting genes, they wanted to pay tribute to her with these 3 packs of pressed flowers. And on top of that the ladies also created this lovely natural paper pack to go with them. When you buy all three flower packs in a bundle, you´ll get the paper pack for free!! These new goodies coordinate with the quickpages us site-cters have made for you! :)

Then Heidi created an amazing versatile alpha pack, called ´the jess alphas´ ...Inspired by a very creative "To Do" list made by Heidi´s 16-year-old daughter, this doodley alpha is perfect for any fun layout! Mix and match the two alphas, use both upper and lower case letters throughout your words...perfect for kids of all ages!

Messy, doodly letters, numbers, and some punctuation hand-drawn on grungy notebook paper scraps, the alpha without paper scraps and a couple of seperate paper scraps is what all you´ll get in this pack.
