Congratulations and please do contact me before Wednesday 2nd March to claim your prize and please note I will not be back until Saturday to deal with your email so don't panic if you don't hear from me lol.

Now onto this week and your challenge is to create something in the 'Shabby Chic' style. Anything shabby or chic goes.
The challenge this week is sponsored by my wonderfully crafty friend Steph from Crafting.co.uk.  She has given this complete set of 10 cds in a lovely 'Just for You' box.
Please do note if the winner lives overseas I will not be able to mail the box as it is quite fragile and would get squashed in the mail - sorry. You will still get the cds mailed though.







Here are the DT cards to help with inspiration.
