Seeing Red

 

First let me say thank you to everyone who entered  Ooh La La Challenge for  

the last fortnight, we had some beautiful and amazing creations all Vintage themed, I was so pleased

that it was not my turn to choose the top 3, but if you do want to see who Lisbeth chose do pop on over, and perhaps you may want to join in with us for the next one

 

 

The challenge this fortnight is Seeing Red and I have used papers and image from Christmas Presence, artwork from the very talented Peggy Abrams, if you would like to see what's on this CD you can see it here, we also have some gorgeous bling and buttons in the shop, not forgetting our new CD Faithful Friends

Another week has flown by and we had some fabulous entries for our Orange & Green challenge, a big thank you to everyone who played along.   This week the theme is Easel Cards, and I have used an image from our new CD to be aired on Create & Craft on the 27th April 11am with Hayley West.

The corner I used is metal and can be purchased in the  shop.   The Cd will be on the website this week for pre ordering

Happy Crafting

Gone Fishing

 

Another fortnight has flown by and it's time again for another challenge over at  Ooh la La

Our theme for this fortnight is  It's a Man Thing, and this is a card I have made for my Brother's Birthday.   He is mad on fishing and even comes to France on fishing holidays, good job his wife loves fishing aswell.

The DT have some fabulous creations this week to help inspire you so do pop over and take a look

 

The paper and image are from the  Boys to Men CD  and the Birthday Wishes is a stamp
the silver looking spots are stickles.  We shall have new freebies on the website tomorrow and we have new embellishments in the shop with more goodies being added very soon.
Please join in if you can inspiration for mens cards always come in handy, they are a difficult lot at most times.

Perfect day so far

What a fabulous day I am having and they say it always comes in three's

It started early this morning, my daughter and I are arranging an Anglo/French Exposition/Market
here in France which we shall be holding every 2nd & 4th Saturday in the month starting in April
We have lots of interest from both French & English and it sounds an exciting venture
We have lots of different stalls ranging from Cards, Craft, Breads made in a traditional French bread oven, Preserves, Jewellery, Neals yard, Wood & Leather gifts, Scarf Sensations &Patchwork to name but a few. 

Then as I arrived home a beautiful vase of Tulips were delivered from my Son who lives in the UK for Mother's Day, which was the best surprise ever.

Four Legged Friends

Good morning and I hope it's a blue sky where you are today, I always find I feel so much brighter when the sun is shining and it certainly is here today

This weeks challenge is all about our 4 legged friends and I have chosen these adorable kittens for my card this week, it's for my son inlaws Mum who loves cats

The entries we had last week were all amazing and so many thank you all so much for taking the time to join in with us, I hope you like our challenge this fortnight too and I look foward to seeing your creations

Now on to mine, this is a simple card, I added the wording on in my graphics program and just mat and layered onto some beautiful shiny red card



If you like Vintage you will love this CD which was a sell out on C&C last month, there are all sorts to choose from, cute animals, birds, beautiful floral, vintage fashion, and some lovely Xmas images too, you can purchase your copy   here

Sparkle & Shine

Wow what a fabulous amount of entries we had last week for our challenge Love Story

I'm so pleased it was not me who had to choose there were far too many fabulous creations

This week our challenge is Sparkle & Shine so get those thinking caps on and come on over and show us what you have made, one lucky winner will be able to choose a CD of their choice

you have 2 weeks to enter, we are also looking for  Guest Designers so if you would like to join us

please add GD after your name on Mr Linky

The girls have come up with some fabulous designs of their own so if you need a bit of inspiration be sure to take a closer look

This is my take on the challenge

 

 



 

I used a pink sparkly sticky back backing paper to cover my A4 card

The artwork is from Dreams of Tranquility and called  Cathedral of Illusion, I hope you can see the

sparkle on the river and my light is the door in the background, this is a beautiful image and I thought it needed nothing else apart from the metal filigree corners

You can purchase both the CD and the corners in the shop here

Happy Crafting
