Monthly Winner and New Design Team Girls!

Hi!  I thought rather than make the sketch post really long I'd do a separate post to announce the winner of the gift voucher and introduce you to our two new Design Team members!  Now which do I do first???


I think the winner first lol!  Congratulations to number 12 - Janet O'Brien!

The winner is selected using random.org and the sketch challenge entries.  Once a random number has been given I then check the other weeks challenges to see if the person has participated in any other challenge, and if you have then you are the winner!


Email me and I will send out the details of how you can claim your prize!


With new designers there must be farewells and we say goodbye to :

Ida

Jerusha

Rene'

Thank you ladies for everything you have done along this journey with me, it has been so wonderful getting to know you over the many challenges and releases we have shared together :)  I wish you all well in everything you do!


Now on to our new team members who will be joining the Belles - 

Stephanie Muzzulin from Handmade Creations by Stephanie 

and 

Patti Nelson from Stampersize!  

Welcome ladies!  

We hope you have a wonderful time being a part of our team!!

Say It With...

...A Tag!

A tag is always a great way to accent a project or to place on a gift, so this challenge is for you to share with us the different ways you use tags.
We have a gorgeous project to share from Lyn our Guest Designer this month! We have loved having Lyn take part each week, and we hope she has loved being a part of it :)
Would you like to be a future Guest Designer for the AnnaBelle Stamps blog??  Simply add your project to the challenge links for this month and include your project that uses an AnnaBelle Stamp in our online gallery, and you could be our next Guest Designer!
