Challenge #43 - Anything But Square

Hello everyone

welcome to our new challenge we loved having a nosey around your craft rooms last time thank you so much for sharing with us

Now before i get to the theme unfortunately we have to say a sad farewell to two of our lovely DT girls Cinzia and Raffa its been a pleasure working with you girls we'll miss you both best wishes for your future ventures

so the theme then ...

Anything But Square

we are so excited that we have a fab new sponsor this week

Lifelong crafters Mother and Daughter, Mary and Andrea were tired of having to buy full rolls of ribbon and lace when they only needed one metre. Because they love ribbons and all things pretty, they decided to open their own online shop in 2010 and make small quantities of beautiful products easily available to all crafters. Mary owns the shop and runs it on a day to day basis as well as keeping the website updated while Andrea looks after the social side, The Ribbon Girl Blog and the Design Team. They specialise in supplying small (or large) quantities of ribbon, twine, gorgeous vintage style lace and seam binding ribbon, tiny pom-pom and ric-rac trim, all sorts of buttons, fancy pins, a multitude of charms, pearl and crystal flourishes, wool felt squares, seasonal and unusual embellishments, mulberry flowers, sticky tape and accessories to card makers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators. They stock only the best quality products and only offer for sale goods that they would personally buy and use themselves

and look what you can win !!

Here is a little masterpiece from our super talented first guest designer of the year:

Tracy Payne:
