Happy beautiful Friday everyone!
<br />Can you believe it's almost May? Gulp. I don't think I'm quite ready for it yet, but at least the summer is right around the corner. ;) The end of April also means a close to our challenge site *sniff sniff*. While we are all excited for new things on the horizon, it is a bittersweet goodbye as I've loved blogging every Friday here on Raise The Bar and meeting new friends. <br />As promised, the month of April had some 'secret' sponsors and prizes for whomever joined in on the challenge of that week.

Happy day everyone, I hope your week went well? First off, sending all our love and thoughts to crafters and families who were affected by Boston and Texas this past week. :(
Although the weather has been beautiful, all the recent events have been so heartbreaking and gloomy. It's such a reminder to take each day as a new opportunity to be thankful.<br />
<br />
And speaking of, thank you all for the beautiful entries in last week's Lock the Door challenge! As I mentioned in Friday's post, every week has a secret sponsor for our last month of challenges. All winners will be announced on the last Friday of this month, so be sure to play along as much as you can.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to the following crafters for our Lock the Door challenge:<br />

My apologies for the late post, it's raining cats and dogs here so I had to do a special trip to the bus stop to keep my girls dry. :)<br />
<br />
But other than that, it has been a beautiful Spring week! How about in your neck of the woods? I am definitely ready for flowers, sunshine, and the kids to be in shorts. The laundry is definitely easier when the weather gets warm.<br />
<br />
Thank you to those who participated in last week's challenge of "Pack Your Bags" - since we had 4 lovely crafters who participated so a huge congratulations to them:<br />

Thank you ladies! Please email me at jonjinko@hotmail.com for next week's theme.<br />
<br />
Before I announce this week's challenge, just thought I'd add in a little note. Every week in April, we are being sponsored by a fabulous company, however, instead of announcing it every week, it will be one big celebration at the end of the month. YAY! Now only those crafters who participated in that week's challenge will be eligible, so be sure to play along as much as you can!<br />
<br />
Okay, with that said, join us this week for our theme of:<br />

I hope your week is going well, it is finally starting to feel like spring here. I am not a fan of the cold weather so I'm looking forward to warmer days. :)<br />
Before we announce the top 3 of this week's challenge, I wanted to personally thank you all for being a part of Raise The Bar. When I started this site, it was a chance for me to challenge my own self, to raise my own bar when it came to creating, and of course being inspired by your designs as well.<br />
Thanks to you, I've been introduced to some wonderful stamp and paper companies, just by adoring your work! I have also met the most wonderful group of designers who, week after week, have produced such amazing cards.<br />
This summer is a huge transition for my family - we have our oldest going off to college, our youngest starting Kindergarten, and moving where the Army sends us. My husband will hit 20 years of active duty, and we've been fortunate to live in Virginia for 8 of those years.<br />
With that said, Raise The Bar will close its doors at the end of April. By coincidence, the two remaining Bar-Tenders Thanh and Peggy, have been handpicked to be on The Greeting Farm's Design Team, so we will all still have the chance to create together! YAY! From the Bar to the Farm... ;)<br />
Every challenge of this month will have a goodbye theme, more on that in a bit. <br />
For now congratulations to this week's top 4 designers (just because it was so hard to choose!!):<br />

Wow - is it already the weekend? Yippee!</div>

Thank you so much for coming by today!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342459252679231205.post-2498587081268508172013-01-04T08:00:00.000-05:002013-01-04T08:00:06.407-05:00RTB #125Happy beautiful Friday everyone!<br />
I hope your New Year is off to a wonderful start?<br />
Thank you all so much for your amazing participation in our last challenge.<br />
We loved all the snow cards!<br />
A couple of announcements before we post the top picks of December:<br />
<br />
First off, Wanda has decided to step down from our DT. We loved working with Wanda and are truly going to miss her! Because of this, we are looking for a few more people to design for Raise The Bar. If you are interested, please post <b>DT CALL</b> right next to your name. We will keep this open until the middle of January so if you can't play along this week, you will have next week to put your name in.<br />
And, like last year, we are excited to have sponsors back for our first Friday challenge of each month. While we love having challenges to feature our Guest Bar-Tenders, we also love being able to give away prizes from these fabulous companies!<br />
<br />
Without further ado, here are our <b>top picks</b> of the LET IT SNOW challenge:<br />

A quick note before I continue on with today's post:<br />
This fun challenge will be the last of 2012 -<br />
the Bar-Tenders and I have some shopping and cleaning to do,<br />
so we will be taking a bit of a hiatus until <b>January 4th</b>.<br />
This means you have plenty of time to join in on the fun,<br />
and with a NEW sponsor joining us in January, it will be worth the wait!<br />
Before I announce our new theme, congratulations to the following random winner<br />
of a $5 gift certificate to By LORi Designs store:<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Friday everyone!<br />
Thank you so much for joining us on this chilly morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here in the NEast, the weather cannot decide what it would like to do - </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
earlier in the week we hit a 70* high, and yet the other morning it was *26</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
as the kids headed out to school. Yikes!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It definitely makes waking up hard to do. ;)<br />
And speaking of chilly weather...<br />
Congratulations to the following entries for last week's BUNDLED UP challenge:<br />

Happy beautiful Friday everyone!<br />
I cannot believe it is the last day of November. Wowza, where has the time gone?<br />
Nevertheless, we are here for you <i>every</i> Friday in December up until the 14th, then we'll be taking a break until January 4th. By that time I'll be running around for last minute holiday shopping. ;)</div>

Happy Friday everyone!<br />
Here in the US we celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday. I do believe all the yummy foods caused me to sleep in, thus the late post. ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope you all are off to a great start to your weekend? I know that the holiday buzz is in the air, there are so many people out shopping already! I will spend today in my pajamas and fuzzy socks, online shopping is calling my name. heehee!<br />
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Teddy Bear challenge last week! Oh my cuteness, the entries that poured in were so adorable. I had no idea there were so many cute Teddy images out there in the crafting world!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As always it is so hard to whittle down to top picks, congratulations to the following entries:</div>

Last week we were graciously sponsored by Krista Smith of Saturated Canary...<br />
have I mentioned how much I love her blog and her store?!?<br />
<br />
Congratulations to <a href="http://bananastamper.blogspot.ca/2012/11/fisherman.html">BANANA STAMPER </a>for winning Krista's prize!<br />
Please email me at jonjinko@hotmail.com for further instructions. :) <br />

Congratulations ladies! My hotmail account is being a bit temperamental lately, but please email me at jonjinko@hotmail.com with GUEST BAR-TENDER in the subject line so I can weed through in case it gets into the other folder.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now on to this week's theme, a fun one indeed! Did you know that November 16th is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>HAVE A PARTY WITH YOUR BEAR DAY</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
So what better way to celebrate than with a BEAR theme? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Use any sweet fuzzy Teddys on your card like the fabulous designers did below:</div>
