Fantastic!  Congrats Deb, you have won the Sooki Ooblis and Bang Boom images as well as a $5 Gift Certificate to The Character Cafe store!  I will also send you a blog badge for your blog.  If you see this and haven’t heard from me, please give us a shout… you never know what could happen.

Anyway, thanks so much to all our players this week!  It was great fun to visit all of your blogs, sorry I didn’t get much commenting in this week though…. I’ll be back!

Feature Friday Challenge #21 Winner!

Hey bloggers!  It’s time to announce the winner for our Father’s Day/Embossing Challenge!

First off, I have to say that random.org picked #1, which was Barb Chick and boy was her card fantastic, however, I had a problem because it didn’t fit our challenge… it may, but it said “Happy Birthday” and it was just so beautiful, I’m not sure if it was for a guy?  So, Barb, if you’re reading, we so sorry, but we read your post and it never mentioned a male or Father’s Day.

Random.org picked #3 next, which is

Irit, who entered with this amazing layout… (sorry Irit, for some reason, we’re missing part of our blog and so I’ll link to you later when we find it! LOL)

You have won The Dock and Father’s Day Hatchling images from The Cafe Store, as well as a $5 Gift Certificate!  Contact us for your prize and we’ll get it out as soon as possible.  Also, don’t forget, your name will go into our draw at the end of the month, to win a custom TCC digi stamp image!!!  All, participants in our challenges are entered for that matter.

Congrats and Fink will be along soon with this weeks’ challenge, sorry we’re a bit late… had a tad mix up here at TCC (keeps life interesting I guess?!).

Take care, happy crafting!

Now on to the goods... We had a New Release Blog Hop and that means we've got some winners to announce, so let's get at it!

"Just finish the hop....these images are so fun and loving too.....awesome job to the DT....I went to everyones blog except Rachael....she isn't up yet.....thank you for the hop....now off to get a freebie....."

Thanks Gloria, for hopping along with us, you have won 4 New Release Digital Stamp Images as well as a $5 Gift Certificate to The Cafe Store!

We'll be in touch soon, or feel free to send us an e-mail if you see this before you hear from us (you never know when messages get lost in cyberspace!?).

The Guest Designer offer goes too...

Mary Ski of Purrfect Sentiments

We would love for you to join us for the month of July and look forward to hearing from you! We'll be sending you an e-mail too, again feel free to beat us to it. LOL

Also, we have the wonderful task of awarding a CUSTOM Digital Stamp Image to one of our fantastic challenge supporters... YAY! We're so excited to be offering this unique prize.

We had 18 players for the 3 Challenges in May (I know, not a whole lot compared to some challenges, but we appreciate and thank each and every one of you for showing us some support and joining us with your wonderful creations!)...

Through random.org, our winner is (and we counted from the first entry, to the last in order)

#7 - Denise (kc242 Designs by Denise) from our Feature Friday #18!!!!

Congrats Denise, you are our Custom Digital Stamp Image WINNER. You may give us a design request or picture and we will do our best to create a custom digi stamp for you based on your vision. We will do up to 3 revisions for you in order to get it "right" and in the end, you can name the digi stamp (a variation may be necessary if we already have a stamp with your chosen name)! We will retain the rights to the stamp and offer it for sale in The Cafe Store with all proceeds going to the Charity of your Choice for the next 4 months!

Can't wait to get started Denise! We'll be sending you an e-mail, however, again, if you see this feel free to send us one first if you haven't gotten ours yet :)

New Digital Stamp Release Blog Hop!

Hey bloggers, we’re back with another blog hop to celebrate our June New Releases… (Do you get tired of blog hops or do you like being able to see all the new digi stamps and inspiration?)

Well, I’m going to have to make this fairly short and sweet since my little guy has decided to pick now to fuss in bed… ack!

This is your last stop on the blog hop and you should have arrived here from Fink’s site. If you didn’t you must’ve either just started with us or lost track of where you were (like I often do in blogville!)… at which point, you should just head over to the START and find your way.

Hopefully, you found LOTS of great stuff that inspired you to make wonderful creations (and tell us when you do!).

Be sure that you commented on all our DT Blogs along the way in order to have a chance to win 4 randomly chosen New Release images as well as a $5 Gift Certificate to The Cafe Store.

Also, be sure to join us by making a creation using a TCC digital stamp image and linking to our Linky Tool in order to have a chance at being Guest Designer for July! If you don’t have any TCC digis that’s a shame, but you’re in luck since we’ve got a bunch in the Freebie section of our Store, as well as a new one available until next Friday only (there are sentiments perfect for Father’s Day in the package at the store too!). Click image to go to Freebie.

Well, I sincerely hope that you don’t mind, but I think I’ll have to be back in the morning with our winner for our Custom Image… couldn’t make the draw until after 10pm so that all players could be included and well, my little guy is not very cooperative at the moment. Please forgive me!!! Actually, it will be better that way I think so that we can explain a bit about what we’ll do for the winner… hmmm, things have a way of working out like they’re supposed to, don’t they (sometimes anyway!).

Oh, and don’t forget about the discount code, good for 25% off your entire order (good until next Friday, June 11th at midnight – well, Saturday June 12 technically!). The code is "Summer" (case sensitive) - yeah, I know, it's not summer yet, but it sure was feeling like it lately!

Happy hopping!

Kendra :)

And our winner is.......

What a great job all the ladies did with the challenge! I am so happy to see more people trying the challenges but help us get more!!! Tell your friends!!!!!!

I would like to take the time to say Congratulations to............

TINA

Kendra or Kelly will get with you soon! Congratulations again!
