Winners ....

I'm glad to say that normality... (well maybe "normality" isn't a word you would associate with Mr and Mrs PA lol) ...some sort of 'normality' has (hopefully) resumed within the PA HQ team and apologies to France and all blog followers for last week's Sunday evening post having to be delayed at the last minute.

I can safely report that the retailers event was enjoyed by all, huge thanks to Leandra and Mark for all their hard work on the run up to the event and on the day itself .... they also deserve a medal for putting up with us {Me, Michelle and Darcy} too for the weekend! It was also lovely to see the ever so friendly faces of Lin Brown and Jo Firth Young. The venue was wonderful and we were very spoiled with the most beautiful buffet.

Leandra says: A huge thank you to the 50 retailers and tutors who came to this sold-out event and persevered in the scorching heat, managing to concentrate right through to the very last technique! Lucky we managed a slight breeze through the venue, but the air con certainly wasn't used to dealing with that temperature!

We had a wonderful day sharing so many ideas with you all, and will deffo plan another event again. To those who missed out, so sorry, wish we could have you all and that the date would suit everyone, but hopefully you will make it next time!

As another week draws to a close we would like to say a huge thanks to France ,who once again came up trumps with her beautiful projects this last week on the PaperArtsy blog. 

This week's winners from France's challenge are ....

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

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! 

NB the new summer JOFY's are now visible online if that helps!

As we move into a new week we would like to welcome back Carol Quance as our Guest Designer for the coming week.

Carol's first post will be live in just 15 minutes time. This week Carol is showing some super cool projects using Shrink Plastic and Acetate ... all will be revealed in due course!

If you are inspired by Carol's challenge this week, then simply upload/share your work with us HERE. 

Each week we do 2 draws, one pool for every single entry, and another where multiple entries are only allocated 1 spot in the draw. So whether you enter multiple projects, or just one, you have the same chance of winning.
