CONTEST TIME...............................

Okay everyone it is time for another fun contest................and I have another awesome sponsor for us this time...PAPER BLOOMS.............Paper Blooms has some of the most awesome, adorable CROCHET FLOWERS around...plus a few other adorable goodies....here is a little bit about PAPER BLOOMS:

I'm Leah Cornelius the owner of the little Etsy shop, Paper Blooms. I carry all hand made items and specialize in crocheted flowers and butterflies. I also carry handmade felt embellishments. The variety of blooms that I offer is wide and I have 23 colors for you to choose from. I gladly take custom orders and offer free shipping on all orders placed in the U.S. I really enjoy creating these beautiful embellishments and love seeing them make your projects just a bit more special. Please visit my shop at http://paperblooms.etsy.com

I must admit that I personally ordered a whole bunch of Leah's Crochet Flowers and now I see she has Crochet Butterflies...oh my....gotta get some of those to.....

Okay as some of you may have already seen, the current challenge this week, the designers were asked to use some of Leah's Crochet flowers from her PAPER BLOOMS shop....so if ya haven't seen this weeks challenge....click on this link to see how some of the designers used her Crochet Flowers....SO MUCH INSPIRATION......THE TEAM ROCKS I TELL YA...

Before I show you what ONE lucky person is gonna win, here are the details for this contest:

When I think of Leah's CROCHET FLOWERS and the ICE-CREAM projects from this weeks challenge...the first thing that comes to mind is YUMMY........................................SO.........

you need to use the word YUMMY somewhere on your project....now it can be the main focus of your project or just added somewhere small on the project...JUST MAKE SURE the word YUMMY is on the project...............and so that we can all see the word, the word needs to be in either of the colors: BLACK, PINK, BABY BLUE or BROWN...

YOU also need to use at least one cut from any of the cricut cartridges.

ONLY two entries per person.

EVERYONE is welcome to enter the contest...(US, INTERNATIONAL ETC.)

YOU must put the DIRECT link to your project in the MCKLINKY below (all entries that don't go directly to the project, WILL NOT BE ENTERED)

CONTEST will run until AUGUST 3RD....(PST)

HAVE fun.....

AND HERE IS THE AWESOME PRIZE

INDIE ART SOLUTIONS.....ICE CREAM CHALLENGE

HOT HOT HOT HOT.............BOY has it been HOT lately...While I can't bring any coolest to your part of town, I can at least let you feast your eyes on some YUMMY, COOL, ADORABLE, AMAZING ice cream projects.....The design team this week were asked to the ICE CREAM cone from the INDIE ART SOLUTIONS cartridge........along with some YUMMY OH SO FABULOUS crochet flowers from PAPER BLOOMS.........Crochet flowers are one of my favorite little embellishments to put on any type of project....You will be amazed at how adorable the ladies projects came out this week....

On another note before I show the projects, starting today, the bbtb will be using a different type of Mister Linky called MCKLINKY....I am very sorry that we lost most of all of the links to our last contest that was sponsored by YOUR MEMORIES HERE....so if you had submitted a project for that contest, PLEASE link your project to this post here......I am going to give everyone a little bit more time to re-submit your projects and then post a winner instead of Monday on Wednesday......

In the mean time, CHECK OUT THESE AWESOME PROJECTS.................and of course since some of the designers were lucky to use some of these crochet flowers on their projects..............WE ARE going to have a new contest starting TOMORROW and one lucky person will win some of these FABULOUS CROCHET FLOWERS.....
