Challenge #5: Thankful

Thank you for joining us for another challenge here at Sentimental Sundays!
It seems that most of you really like using the freebie sentiments!  I think that's great and I'm glad you find them useful.  For those who link back to this challenge blog or back to my personal blog when using them, I really appreciate the time you take to do that :)  It really does mean a lot to me.

Well, let's get right to it!
Here's our random winner of Challenge #4: 
Congratulations! As mentioned in the last challenge, the prize is a digital sentiment set of six sentiments of your choosing or one sentiment set at the Raindrop Echo Designs Whimsy Stamps Sentiments Collection.  Please email me (Ann) at raindropecho@gmail.com to get details about your prize :)


This week's challenge is:
Thankful
(plus a sentiment)


I didn't have time to make a project for this week because I am away on a mini vacation, but thankfully the design team members have stepped up again and provided you with some great inspiration.  Here's some eye candy:









A note about the freebies:
Starting today and every other week after, I will be showcasing sentiments picked by the design team.  These are some of their favorite sentiments :)  Sometimes they will match the theme, sometimes they won't, but I still hope you enjoy ALL them.  This week the freebie is a set of three sentiments chosen by our design team member, Annika!

Sentimental Sundays Weekly Freebie:
Free sentiments are only available for one week.
For more sentiments like this, please visit the Raindrop Echo Designs Sentiments Collection at Whimsy Stamps.
A special thank you to those who link back to the blog when using these sentiments!

The prize for this challenge will be a digital sentiment set of four sentiments of your choosing.  If you would rather just have a sentiment set from the Raindrop Echo Designs Whimsy Stamps Digital Collection, you're welcome to have one of those instead.

Challenge #4: Get Well

Welcome to a new Sentimental Sundays challenge!


It's so nice to see such a wide variety of entries! I'm still catching up on my commenting so forgive me if I haven't gotten around to your entry yet. Again, we had wonderful entries and it's always a treat to see so many ways of incorporating sentiments into your creations.

Now that we have that take care of, would you like to know what the new challenge is this week?

This week's challenge is:
Get Well Creations
(plus a sentiment)

Sometimes these get well soon cards really come in handy when you find out someone is sick and you want to send them something really quickly to cheer them up.  Once again the design team has really stepped it up this week!  Even though they're not required to create something for every challenge, they have been such diligent workers and most have joined us in creating something for this week's challenge.

Speaking of the design team, would you like to know more about us? 
You can read all about the Sentimental Sundays Team at the Design Team Page. You can match our names to our faces and associate our designs with a little bit about our backgrounds.  We'd like to know more about you, too! Feel free to leave a comment in our new chat box on the sidebar on the right.
