Winners ....

It's been a Hot Hot Hot week....and we have some hot hot hot stuff planned....

Not only is it a heat wave style of living up here weather wise in the U.K (finally summer has arrived) but of course we are waiting by the hour information about Baby Cambridge, will it be a Prince OR a Princess for William and Kate....we just can't wait to find out!! It's such an exciting time. Did you also realise that this week a year ago the Olympic Games were opening! 

School is OUT and August is just around the corner....that also means at HQ birthday season kicks off, and 2013 is an ODD year for us all:  end of July (Hugo, will be 13), two in August (Leandra, will be closer to 50 than 40) *cough* followed by Courtney (turning 19) and one early September, Ella (turning 17) in the PA family!! Yikes! Lots of celebrating to be had!

The eagle eyed of you on twitter will have noticed our leader, Leandra dropping a few #secretthings comments direct from PA HQ last week which is going to set all your temperatures alight in August.... however (yes I know you are all groaning at this point) my lips are well schtum ... more than my jobs worth you understand! Just giving you a heads up that she has several cunning plans afoot!

What I can reveal is that Leandra is taking sign ups in the next 2 weeks for another #3UP #PAtwits round scheduled for August 28 -September 3rd. As holiday time is here, we want to make sure we get the secret goodie bags into your hot little hands ASAP. Follow Leandra on twitter @PaperArtsy to get all the information you need, or the PaperArtsy facebook page  If you want to play along its a lot of fun, you will be given a period within which to sign up. You must use the #3UP hashtag to enter the challenge. Leandra will advise if you have been selected to play - we try to fit in all of you! and then she will send you a mystery #3UP package with 3 items in it, all of which you have to somehow utilise in your project however you wish to, no rules. You then send us a picture of what you made with a paragraph describing how you did it. Your work will be featured with other #PAtwits on one of 7 days on this blog. It's FUN! and a great way to share what you can do with PaperArtsy products!

It's time to say a huge thanks to Carol for another week full of creativity, to which I know many of you were itching to just "go create", thank you all for your continued support. 

The week's winners from Carol's challenge are ....

Random winner #1 from last week's first draw (every single entry linked): Glennis F




Random winner #2 (selected from one entry per person linked) is: aret B



Congratulations! Please email Leandra sales@paperartsy.co.uk with your snail mail address, and let her know which A5 plate you would like as your prize! 

This time next week we will sadly start gradually waving our goodbyes to the amazing contributors of Semester 2: Sue, France, Carol and Darcy...but let's not get ahead of ourselves...we have a whole week of Darcy to come this week before the final round of this semester commences in August...yay!

So we welcome back Darcy Wilkinson for the week ahead. Darcy will be showcasing her first project in just 15 minutes time, with another four projects to follow Monday through to Thursday evening. Just wait to see what Darcy has in store this week !!!

Congrats to this week's winners! Maybe this will be the week I'll get time to enter...
Can't imagine how busy it's going to be at PA HQ in the next six weeks or so - all that celebrating can be very exhausting. Very exciting about a new #3up too.
