LINDA'S CHALLENGE FOR SEPTEMBER

This is a cracker ! (sorry about the pun) and if possible I would really like to see work from everyone......

PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR PHOTOS TO ME UNTIL THE 24TH OF SEPTEMBER - REASON BEHIND THIS IS THAT I AM LESS LIKELY TO MISS ONE OF YOU OUT LIKE I DID TO POOR JEANETTE LAST MONTH ! THEY WILL BE POSTED UP ON THE 25TH AS USUAL FOR VOTING


September challenge.

1. A Christmas card!

2. Create your own background card/paper using stamps, inks, paint or anything else you can think of - the more creative the better.

3. Make your own Christmas embellishment to go on the card using geometric shapes. (i.e. circles, triangles, squares, rectangles)

4. Add brads and ribbons to your card.

5. Make it * * * * * * * * * sparkle. * * * * * * * * *

HAVE A HO, HO, HO JOLLY TIME WITH THIS CHALLENGE AND MANY THANKS TO LINDA FOR SETTING IT.

GOOD LUCK

Cake, Cake and more Cake

Hi Ladies, thanks to everyone that submitted a cake slice for judging by Steph and Kate over at Papertrey - from the feedback I have had some found it really difficult to do and even gave up after a few attempts ! I am sure you will agree that the cake slices are all truly lovely so we'll leave it to Steph and Kate to judge them and the winner and runner up will both receive a prize.

Please note Steph and Kate will be giving a decision on our winners next week - thanks.

Good job everyone K x
