Teddy Bo Tuesday - Menu Choice Challenge

Goooooood Morning and a very happy Teddy Bo Tuesday to you all.
SO..did any of you get engaged on the 29th February!?!? Were any of you brave enough to ask your partners to marry you!?? We didn't have any engagements at the Towers although not for the want of trying.......Tammy was up to her usual antics and her whip is legendary in the local village so it made for a very entertaining end to February!!

We've added a few new things to the store...we hope you can pop by and have a little look. Please remember that there is no minimum order or P&P in the UK so the price you see is the price you pay!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now.....once again we had a wonderful response to our challenge........thank you ladies...xxx

SO.....who are our winners I hear you ask!??!?!

Well, our overall winner this week is:

Laine

with our runners up being:

Mieke Wierenga

and

Chantal

Congratulations ladies..please contact me at support @ teddybo.com to claim your prizes and winner's badge...x

And now onto our next challenge....this week our theme is

Menus

You may choose one thing from each course, but don't be greedy, one thing only, you are not allowed seconds!

Starter - Green and Cream - blue and cream - Pink and cream

Main - Flowers - Butterflies - Buttons

Dessert - Lace - Ribbon - stitching (real or faux)

Coffee - Charm - tag - glitter

So basically you choose 1 option from each course, for example if you pick blue and cream as your colour combo then these must be the main colours of your papers, card, and embellishments (you can use any colours at all in your image). If you choose butterflies, then no flowers or buttons are allowed etc., etc. Hope it all make sense?
Let us know in your blog post which items you chose.

and of course the top prize is our usual
