Any excuse for Chocolate!

Yay Sweet Stampers, it's Saturday again!  Unless you've children on half term than quite frankly it could be any day of the week cos let's face it I can't be the only Mum in the world not knowing what day it is when I wake up lol!  Last week we had some replastering done & it happened to be in my little cherub's bedroom who was frankly disgusted as it was well..plaster coloured.  I told her that our plasterer said when it's properly dry, it'll go a pinky colour.  She cheered, looked at me in earnest & said "Can I watch it dry?!"

Anyway onto the challenge this week, we know you're gonna love this one....Chocolate!  Whether it be an image of chocolate, choccy coloured papers,as long as there's something chocolatey about your card.

This week we're sponsored by the wonderful 


who've a fabulous range of digital & rubber stamps + digital papers & are offering the winner 5 digi images of their choice!!! (can I enter please lol!)

and we have our fabulous month end sponsor:


who are offering a lucky random winner ...


Here's some inspiration from the sweeties to get you drooling lol!

Our fabulous guest sweetie, Hazel


Our brand new, straight out of the box sweetie, Zoe (using a bugaboo image)






and me, Abi who is sooo in love with both of our sponsor's images, I had to make a card with each of them! 



Don't forget to pop back in the morning to see who's fabulous sketch card is in the spotlight & who's our random winner for this week.

We're seriously looking forward to your chocolate creations this week, whoever said you can have too much of a good thing.....

It's sketch time at Sweet Stampin



Good morning Sweet Stampers..and my first posting for Team Fi Here at the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog so please be gentle with me...lol!!

I am so excited and scared to be running the Sweet Stampin Challenge with Abi but I'm sure once I get to grips with everything I will be fine....

I would just like to give a huge thanks to Abi for helping to get everything all set up again for this weekend...in my haste I managed to delete lots of important stuff...thought I was going to get sacked before I even got started!!

Keeping up with the news...

Good Morning my wonderful Sweet Stampers,   Despite the weeks rolling around faster than the speed of light, it isn't Saturday yet so don't worry!

We just wanted to let you know about a few changes at Sweet Stampin.  Firstly please join us in saying a huge huge thank you to Faye & Carrie who have both stepped down from running Sweet Stampin.  Happily though we will still see Carrie's wonderful work as she is staying on our DT. Jo, our sketch queen is also stepping down.  They have all been involved with SS from the very beginning & been totally fabby to work with & we wish them all the very best for the future.

We also say goodbye to Linds our regular spotlighter & Claire, who have been fantastic DT members & created gorgeous projects to inspire you.

We'll miss all of you tremendously.... Love ya sweeties x

Now with every ending comes a new beginning & we have 3 super talented new Sweet Stampers to introduce to you.

Alison from The Great Leveller
Debbie from Love Paper Crafting
& Zoe from Boo & Dolly.

A big warm welcome to Sweet Stampin ladies & we know you're all going to love their designs just as much as we do.  

Our new spotlighter will be Tracey who bravely volunteered to take on this very difficult job!  I think that's all for now except to say.....

Fi & Abi are taking over the running of Sweet Stampin & speaking as a size 4, I know I have no hope of filling the sparkly-beribboned-let's just add a couple of buttons-a bit of string round here-some flowers-oh and a couple of tickets-how many challenges can I fit this into - shoes left behind!  

See you Saturday for another great challenge  & don't forget to check this week's spotlight, it could be you! xxx
