Challenge #63

Hi everyone! It's definitely a crafting day here - hissing rain. I guess winter is on its way but then I love being all cozied up with my craft stuff and ignoring the world outside when it's grey, cold and usually wet.

We are starting something new this week. We are going to have a Top 3 spot. At the end of each fortnight the DT will get their heads together and pick the top 3 entries and the person who makes the No 1 spot will get 2 downloads of their choice from the OLL Shop. It's going to be difficult to make the choice as we have so many talented crafters taking part in our challenges, but I'm sure we'll manage :)

Now ...... the challenge this time is

Sentiment

use a sentiment as the main feature on your design

As usual, all you need to do to enter is leave your name and a direct link to your blog post with the wee blue guy so we can visit your blog.

I am Doreen, I have a passion for anything to do with papercrafting. I am married with three grown up children, who have all now flown the nest, and two grandchildren.  I live in Sheffield in the UK with my better half.

I am retired and spend all my spare time doing what I love most in the world, playing with paper, ink and everything to do with paper crafting. I started crafting last year with scrapbooks and have progressed to card making. I am thrilled to be a GD for Ooh La La Creations.

Challenge #58

Hi crafters!  A big thank you to all who joined in with our Simply Summer challenge.  There were some super stunning designs.  Huge apologies this fortnight as the comments were a bit thin on the ground as Wendi was snowed under after the latest C&C show and I was moving house from Spain back to Scotland.  We promise to make amends this time round.

We have a Christmas challenge this time so I hope, if you've not already started making your cards, this challenge will inspire you.

Challenge #58 - Christmas in July

All you need to do to enter is leave your name and a direct link to your blog post with Mr Inlinkz so we can visit your blog. If Mr Inlinkz has gone AWOL, please put your entry in the comments section. No problems if you don't have a blog, just e-mail your entry to the address at the top of the page and we will pop it onto the blog for you.

The latest C&C show featuring Dreams of Tranquility, Watercolour Memories and Shoes in Bloom was another resounding success. Watch out for the August show showcasing Ooh La La's Teentastique CD. All future shows will be shown at the top of the blog so you can make a note of them.

We have a new guest designer for July and August - welcome Pinky.  Please go check out her blog as there is some stunning inspiration there.  Here's a little bio about Pinky :

I'm addicted to stamps and all things paper. My life is kept busy with 4 kids, from 17 upwards, 1 daughter in law, my lovely husband and my little dog Squirt. I seem to spend far too much time in my craft room (my little haven)! I have been blogging for a year and a half and have met the most wonderful people and made loads of new friends. Most of all I have been introduced to so much talent which has helped me develop my own skills. Every day is a learning curve and I am so thankful to be able to do it.

As usual the DT have been busy creating for your inspiration

Challenge #57

Hi crafters! Thank you to everyone who joined in with our last challenge - loads of fabulous entries.

Unfortunately Joyce hasn't claimed her prize of a £15 voucher so it has been redrawn and the winner is :

Katie from Both Sides of The Paper

Congratulations Katie! you've won a £15 voucher to spend in the OLL shop. Please contact me on the address at the top of the page with the item(s) you'd like and your goodies will be on their way to you asap.

Did you manage to tune into Create & Craft for Ooh La La Creation's debut show? It was fantastic and the DT were thrilled that most of their hard work was on display. Keep your eyes peeled for repeats if you missed the show and a little heads up - there's to be new show in the very near future with another CD. Will keep you posted!

The weather in the UK is being kind at the moment so it's inspired our new challenge :
