Friday Five rock the ribbons!

Sooo many great uses of ribbon and once again, a hard choice picking just 5. Here are the cards we thought "tied-up" the ribbon challenge:

Click on the photo to head over to the creator's blog and give 'em a little congrats! You all outdid yourselves!!
There's still time to enter this week's challenge - and you know you have to create something for Mom anyhow so why not join in the fun?!

Also a quick shout-out to Marji Clubine who was the Facebook challenge winner! There is still another chance to win a prize by joining our group at Paper Craft Planet. If we have 50 members by May 15, a group member will win! It might just be YOU!

See you Monday with a new challenge!

Blogger problems

We seem to be having some Blogger problems this morning that is preventing me from posting the Friday Five. I will look into this after work today and post the winners later. Sorry for the delay!

Our May Guest DT!

Just a quick announcement this morning - the DT and I have chosen our Guest DT for the month of May from all of the Friday Five choices and I am pleased to announce that Deneen will be joining us for 2 of the challenges this month - congratulations Deneen!!! Here's a little bio to share with you:

"I love being a mom to Tatiana 9, Victoria 8, and Spencer 2.
Wife for 15 yrs (16 yrs June 2nd) and counting, to awesome husband, and military veteran Glenn (28 yrs in, he just retired)...who totally enables my creative habit, lol!

Grew up near Niagara Falls, Ontario, totally miss Buffalo wings!

I work mornings as an Educational Assistant at the Junior High...I still want to be home with my little one.

I don't watch TV...actually, I do not sit down and pick up the remote myself (I'm not against TV, I just choose not to watch because I'd rather create, although we do rent the occasional movie which I watch, and if I'm at the computer working at editing my blog and it happens to be on, I watch....), that's my time to create, in the evenings, when the kids are in bed....just think of the cards you can create in an hour!!

The Lord has totally blessed me with a talent for creating things, which I have used to create cards...to bless others and put a smile on their face, to enjoy something pretty.

I'm turning 40 May 9th, yup, Mother's Day, and to go crazy...and have some fun...I am getting a blue streak in my hair!

I have been a CTMH Consultant 5 years this past Apr., and have enjoyed every minute."

Deneen will be joining us for the last two challenges of the month as a member of the DT and next week, she will be our prize sponsor so lots to look forward to from this talented gal!

Pop over to Deneen's blog and leave her a little congratulations (and maybe a burthday wish too!)  We're thrilled to have her joining us this month!

See you all on Friday for the next Friday Five line-up!

To find out more about these cards, click the creator's name to go to their blog.

Ready to join us this week? Dig out your ribbon and play along! Then come back here and link us to the specific page that you have your artwork posted on. If you don't have a blog, you can always use the gallery at Splitcoaststampers or create a Photobucket account (must be public so we can view it). And please link direct to where your artwork is - not your blog as a whole.

** Also, please do not load your artwork into a slideshow - it's too hard for us to look it over well when choosing our top five as it keeps changing slides. Thank you! **

When you're ready, link up below. Have fun getting friendly with your ribbon stash! There's no prize up for grabs this week but you might just be chosen for our Friday Five! We'll be back this Friday with the newest Friday Five list from the sketch challenge - see you then!

Fab Friday Five!

Maybe we should rename it the Fabulous Friday Five cause let me just say, there were so many fab-u-lous entries! But we studied them all and came up with our top five. Here's a peek - to see the entire piece of artwork, click the photo to go to the creator's blog.

Congratulations ladies!

I will email you all the information for the Friday Five badge for your blog. And you're all in the running to be chosen Guest DT for next month!

Thanks again to everyone who played along - we have loved looking through all your fabulous artwork! And don't forget, there is still time to play along with this week's challenge -the deadline is Sunday night at 10 pm EST!

See you Monday with another new challenge!
