Winner and Top 3

Hello! It's the weekend and it's winners time!
 
As you will have seen in our challenge post yesterday, we're changing things around a bit here at Crafty Catz as we felt that, whilst having 1 winner decided by random number generated made it fair on everyone, it meant that we often didn't get to share some of our favourite cards each week.
 
So from this week, every Saturday we will announce our challange winner (or winners depending on the number of sponsers) and our top 3 choices - we even have a new badge for you to display proudly on your blogs if you're chosen!
 
 
So without further ado, onward with the winners.
 
Our prize winner this week is......number 26................Bligu

 
Congratulations! such a gorgeous creation. Will you please contact Carol at  carolcroft7@btinternet.com to arrange your prize
 
And now for our very first Crafty Catz Top 3, in no particular order are:

Nick
 

Tracy
 
 
Congratulations! Please don't forget to grab your badge for your blog!

 
Thanks for all your entries , we had a wonderful time visiting you all and don't forget to check out this week's challenge of Dies and Punches.

South African crafters are new to the digital stamping world, with the first South African online digital image store launched in 2010 – Digistamps4Joy (or DS4J)http://www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/. In May 2012, Margy Kieser took over ownership of DS4J, and there are now two South African artists who contribute to the more than 500 images available. Margy has taken the store to new heights and the store now stocks digis that are cute, whimsical, artistic, sometimes serious, and sometimes humorous. In addition, one of our own South African rubber stamp companies granted us permission for one range of rubber stamps to be converted into digistamp images. The store has PAYPAL, PAYFAST (South African) and EFT (South African) facilities. Digistamps4Joy offers a monthly freebie on the first Friday of every month, and holds regular bi-weekly card challenges that draw entries from many international card makers.
