A warm welcome to the Ooh La La Challenge Blog. A new challenge will be posted here every other Monday. We hope you will join us whenever possible.

Anyone can join in, all you have to do is follow the theme then showcase your project on our blog. We love to see you using OLL images and/or papers but it's not necessary to enter. If you'd like to try some OLL designs click on the link to the shop on the sidebar as there are some fantastic freebies for you there.

Please post your project on your blog with a link to our challenge, most importantly HAVE FUN!

Challenge #44

A big thank you to all our challengers for making time over Christmas to join us.  I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and didn't over-indulge!!!  I hope you are all keeping safe and warm and that the bad weather isn't creating too much havoc.  I have left sunny Spain for 3 weeks and am in snowy Scotland spending time over the festive season with my family ... brr.

Now, on to our challenge for this fortnight :

Challenge #44

Sketch


Wendi and Emma of Ooh La La Creations have some stunning CDs and downloads on their website along with some freebies that you might like to try out.  Remember it is not necessary to use OLL products on your card (although of course we love it when you do).

To join in the challenge, please post your design onto your blog with a link to our challenge and leave us a comment with a link to your work.  If you don't have a blog please email your project to the address on the sidebar.

Finally, I have one little apology to make - I forgot to send my project to my computer in Scotland so unfortunately there are no designs from me for this, and the next, challenge.  I'm sure all your entries will more than make up for my forgetfulness - I'm off to sit on the naughty step. xx

Challenge # 43 - Colour Combo

Challenge #41

Good morning one and all! Thanks to those who took part in our last challenge. Another fortnight has passed and I hope you are all getting ready for Christmas. Now, on to this fortnight's challenge which is :

Challenge # 41 - Monochrome

I love using black and white but of course monochrome doesn't only mean that, it means shades of the same colour so, come on girls and boys, get your thinking caps on and let's see your designs for this theme. If you don't have one of the OLL CDs, Wendi has some freebies in the online shop for you to try.

For inspiration, take a look at what our design team have come up with for this theme.

I have decoupaged the Poinsettia and covered it with a glaze and just before it was dry I moved each segment to make it look like cracked glass
