Congrats please contact the TT email addy about claiming your prize.

Now we can only apologise about the Linky tool doing a disappearing act - we have been able to access all the entries that were linked and also those who thoughtfully added their cards into comment. they were all counted in this weeks draw.

From this week we have gone back to Inlinkz and have paid subscription to keep this service so fingers crossed this wont happen again. many thanks for bearing with us

Now onto this weeks excitement!

we are having a blog hop all of which involves collecting letters from Lovin' ink shop


where you see the heart which looks like this.

You will need to visit every member of the Try it on Tuesday team to see their tags and also find out where to look for the heart. Leave a comment on their post and once you have visited the last one work out the anagram and come back here to email the TioT email addy with the answer.

So why would you want to do this?

Well the prize for this week comes from Lovin' inks very first set of limited edition stamps - Compos Match box and wait for it..........

The project these stamps were launched with - the gorgeous bug box - the actual one that was in Craft Stamper designed and dreamed up by our fabulous co-founder Michelle or Midnight Crafter . Michelle is quite modest and does not believe anyone would want to win her work however I know it is a gorgeous piece you would love to get your mitts on! Along with that will be a kit including templates, instructions leaves and inks to enable you to make your own version or use them on a card. A great gift for a boy - of any age!

Now the lovely Yvonne has chosen this weeks theme for TAGS which is hearts and flowers -here is a sneaky peek at Yvonnes gorgeous work you will see on the hop.

Stunning as always folks!

So as we start month 2 I am going to give you the theme for our altered week so you can get thinking an mooching through your stash for ideas - altered art is the teams favourite but it does take longer to prepare so thats why we share the theme early.

So the theme is

"Do something with a shoe box!"
