WinnerS and Top 5 of our Anything Goes Challenge!

Hiya Peeps!

For those of you looking at the title of this post and wondering about that Capital S at the end of winners, there is a really good explanation for that!!

Our Anything Goes challenge was sponsored by the wonderful Digi Stamps 4 Joy.


Here is a little more about this fabulous company:


The first South African online digital image store was launched in 2010 –Digistamps4Joy(or DS4J) .  In February 2012, Margy Kieser took over ownership of DS4J, and there are now two South African artists who contribute to the more than 600 images available. Margy has taken the store to new heights and the store now stocks digis that are cute, whimsical, artistic, sometimes serious, and sometimes humorous. The store has PAYPAL, PAYFAST (South African) and EFT (South African) facilities.  Digistamps4Joyoffers a monthly freebie on the first Friday of every month, and holds regular bi-weekly card challenges that draw entries from many international card makers.

After seeing the absolute wonderful turnout we had for our Anything Goes challenge, Margy, the owner of DS4J generously offered to double up the prize!!!

You've got it.  There will be 2 winners.  Can I hear a Whoop-whoop!!!

So without further ado, here they are:

The theme of our challenge is Anything Goes!

We are joined by Alex from DS4J as our Guest Designer this week:


I live in Kent on the coast, and work for Adult Education teaching sugar craft and art and design, I have been hooked on paper craft for a little over 3 years, cards being my first love, but a little scrapbooking and some smash booking when I get time. I demonstrate paper craft/sugar craft/bobbin lace making and encaustic art at my local hobby craft store and sometimes teach classes there as well. I am a foster mum for Cats in Crisis specialising in orphan kittens. I love working on design teams and having my creativity stretched with the projects. I am a Spellbinders addict. In the last year I have been introduced to the wonders of digi stamping and love the versitilty that this type of crafting allows. I am married to Paul and I have two grown sons who I am very proud. 

Hugs Alex
