Goodbye...

Hi Everyone!

 

Thank you to both entries last week, I know it was half term so

everyone is much busier! We loved both so here are our Top 2...

So...you may be wondering about the title of our post, well.... Kelly and I have come to a point with Simply Stampin' Challenge that sees us having to make the hard decision to stand down from running the blog. We both have other commitments that are making it harder and harder to keep up with it every week so feel this is the best for both of us. We have had a fab time coming up

with the different challenges, and have loved seeing all

of your wonderful entries each week.

 

A huge thank you to our lovely, creative Design Team: Amanda, Ruth and Deb.

I am sure you agree they all have provided you with loads of inspiration each week!

We all have our own personal blogs so please do drop by!

 

The blog will obviously still be available with all of the Sketch and Colour Challenges

in the one place so hopefully they will continue to be of use to you all!

 

Thanks and goodbye,

Kirei and Kelly xx
