Challenge #48

Hi everyone!  I can't believe it's challenge time again, where has the last couple of weeks gone? There was an awesome number of entries for the LOVE theme.  The team have so enjoyed sharing all your creations and hopping onto your blogs.

Challenge #48 - Acetate (somewhere on your project)

To join in the challenge, please post your design onto your blog with a link to our challenge and leave a comment on our blog with a link to your work. If you don't have a blog that's not a problem, just email your project to the address on the sidebar. You can combine our challenge with any others you wish and it is not essential that you use an OLL product on your creation but of course are over the moon if you do. If you don't have any OLL designs check out the February freebies.

As mentioned in the last two challenges we are going to choose, from the entries from Challenges #46 & #47, a permanent Design Team Member and a new Guest Designer for March and April.   Dawn, who has been our guest designer for January and February, came up with such stunning creations that she was invited to be a permanent member of our team and, thankfully, she accepted.  Pop across to Dawn's Blog to check out her fabulous work.  Don't despair though, we're still looking for another permanent teamie.

Keep your eyes peeled, the new Ooh La La Creations CD is that close to being in the shop.  ** UPDATE ** the new CD is now in the shop.  It's called Watercolour Memories.

Keep crafting and I hope you will join in with our latest challenge.

Challenge #47

Wow girls, what a response we had to our last challenge you obviously love distressing.  Me, I'm more prone to stressing!

Challenge #47 - Love

Although it's almost Valentines Day your project doesn't have to be a Valentine card, it just has to be your interpretation of LOVE.

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 me at the address on the sidebar. You can combine our challenge with any others you wish. It is not essential that you use an OLL product on your creation but of course we love it if you do. If you don't have any OLL designs check out the February freebies (see previous post).

We will be inviting one of our challengers to be our new guest designer for March/April and the person will be chosen from the entries from this, and the previous, challenge. Mojos at the ready, you could be our next GD.

Before the DT inspiration here's a sneak peek of an image from Ooh La La Creations new CD which will be for sale VERY soon.

I'm sure that little snippet will whet your appetite. I certainly can't wait for it to come out.

Challenge #46

Hi one and all. All the festivities are well past now and everything is back to 'normal', whatever that is! Thanks to all who joined in our last challenge and we look forward to seeing you again this time.

Our challenge this fortnight is something that takes me out of my comfort zone but I did enjoy doing it so you may well see me using this technique again.

Challenge #46 - Distressing

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 me at the address on the sidebar. You can combine our challenge with any others you wish. It is not essential that you use an OLL product on your creation but of course we love it if you do.

If you don't have any OLL designs there are some lovely freebies in the shop for you to try before you buy. Wendi and Emma also have a new CD coming out soon and there are some sneak previews on Wendi's blog. From what I've seen it looks like another showstopper.

Last and by no means least, we will be inviting a challenger to be our new guest designer for March/April chosen from the entries from this, and the next, challenge. Get your mojo working ladies - you could be our next GD.

Challenge #45

Happy New Year! Everyone at OLL hopes that 2010 will be happy, healthy and prosperous for you and you will try to join us as often as time permits. The challenge this fortnight is :

Challenge #45 - Create a Scene

which I think is quite apt with the horrendous weather in the UK which is indeed creating a scene and everyone is totally fed up of it all. You can design your project in whatever context you take the theme as there are many ways of creating a scene!!!

This time we are pleased to welcome Dawn who is our Guest Designer for January and February. I'm sure you will love her work as much as we do.

Lots of love also goes to our DT member Annie who has just had an op and will be out of action for a little while. We all hope that you get on the road to recovery very quickly.

There are some stunning CDs and downloads on the OLL website along with some freebies that you might like to try out. Remember it is not necessary to use OLL products on your card, but 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.

Now, on to our challenge for this fortnight :

Challenge #44

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

MERRY  CHRISTMAS
with love from all at Ooh La La Creations xx

Challenge #43

Hello one and all!  A big thank you to everyone who joined in our last challenge, we had some wonderful entries - your designs were stunning girls.  Another 2 weeks nearer to Christmas and thankfully all my cards are done and posted, my pressies are bought and wrapped so I can relax a bit now.  Hopefully you will manage to squeeze in this challenge on the run up to the festive season.

Challenge # 43 - Colour Combo

Brown & Pink

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).

Hi everyone and thanks to all those who entered our last theme, there were so many wonderful entries.

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
