Challenge # 13 - "Anything Goes" & Blog Hop


Hello Crafters


Settle down and get comfortable 'cos this is going to be a marathon of a post . . . lots to tell you, lots of exciting news and most importantly lots of fantastic prizes to be won.

Part One - The Ready-Teddy-Go Challenge

As usual before I go onto the new challenge there's the business of selecting the winner from Challenge # 12 - Up, Up and Away.  
We had lots of wonderful entries for this challenge and so once again I have dusted down our unpaid employee Mr. Random.org who can take all the  blame or glory [whatever your perspective] for the selection

So the winner of the last challenge was Number 18


That was you Wendy L

With a very beautiful card




Many congratulations Wendy, please contact me with your snail mail address at apassion4paper@gmail.com to claim your prize.

Now onwards to our August Challenge -
The new Ready-Teddy-Go Challenge #13 theme of

"Anything Goes"
Speaks for itself really, anything goes but please don't forget that your entry must feature a bear or teddy as the main image.  
Unfortunately each month I have to delete one or two entries because there is no bear there and it makes me feel very mean but I have to be fair to others taking part and the clue is in the name Ready-Teddy-Go challenge.

A new feature this month and for future challenges is the introduction of the Top 3 Winner's spots besides the draw winner and the offer of a GDT spot for the selected winner.  
The blinkie is already in the sidebar and we hope that the selected winners will display it with pride.

The prize for the August challenge is sponsored by Mishelflo Creative Crafting



Hi Everyone! 
I am Michelle from Mishelflo Creative Crafting a small online Craft Shop which I like to think of as your "Crafty Corner Shop".  It's just me who runs it, from making the coffee to packing the parcels.  I hope you like what I have chosen for the August Challenge Prize.  I just adore IndigoBlu! 
This is what you will receive ..........

1 x IndigoBlu "Discover your Passion" Rubber Stamp
1 x IndigoBlu Slim Jims (5 x different size Acrylic Blocks)
1 x Inkadinkadoo Stamping Surface
(this is an 8" x 8" Heat Resistant Rubber Mat)
5 x various coloured Versa Magic Dew Drop Ink Pads

Good Luck everyone!

Wow, fantastic prize I'm sure you'll agree . . . thank you Michelle
The challenge will run all month from the 1st to 31st of August so plenty of time to take part and don't forget you can enter up to 4 times per month as long as you enter something different  each time.

Part Two - The RTG Birthday Blog Hop

It's also our 1st Birthday at Ready-Teddy-Go Challenge and we are feeling in the mood for a celebration so . . .

. . . we have a

Birthday Blog Hop 
running from the 1st to the 19th of August.







We have a fantastic Birthday Goody Bag from Meiflower up for grabs as the main prize but there are lots of hidden prizes along the way too so make sure you visit and comment on each of the blogs.  Believe me it will be well worth the effort of taking part . . . I can't say any more than that!!!


You will see a Blue Frog linky on each site but you only have to enter your details in once as we are all using the same collection for the hop.


We are also asking that if you want to take part, you:

1) Are or become a Follower of the Ready-Teddy-Go challenge blog

2) Display our Blog Hop button [below] somewhere in your sidebar; and finally

3) You leave a comment on each of the DT sites.

Photobucket

You should follow the hop in this order of visits:

Happy Birthday Hopping and thank you for taking part . . . have fun and it will be worth your while I promise!!!

Warmest wishes,

Hi me again just realised why I got lost went back to re visit everyone and there is no mention of the hop on Vicky's blog.

Marianne's Craftroom said...

Just finished the hop but Vicky doesn't have a post for it. Great selection of cards. Would have been great if everyone linked to the bloghop post, not just the blog as it took ages to find the right post. A couple of people of did, thanks, made it so much easier.

lbwright22-loopylou said...

thanks for the super blog hop. I'm a bit confused over the linky on each person's blog. It says I have already entered- I take it that the same linky is on everyones blog. In which case I think I may have entered myself twice by mistake- please remove one of the entries.

Sonia said...
