Challenge #74

Hi!  I can't believe that another two weeks have gone whizzing past and I've been to the warm place and back again!!!  My husband and I had 6 wonderful days in Spain, staying with friends we made when we lived there.  It's nice to be back on home soil again though but I feel the better of our bit of R & R and I hope my mojo feels the same - it's not been put to the test yet!

I was straight back into OLL duties today as I had to pick the Top 3 for challenge #73.  What a fabulous array of designs and such a difficult choice.  Here's what I've picked :

#1 - Maxine of Scrappy Max's


Well done Maxine! Please email wenem@ooh-la-la-creations.com 
with your selection of 2 digi downloads from the shop






Congrats girls.  Don't forget to pick up your winners logo from the sidebar

Thank you once again to all our new and 'old' challengers.  It is heartwarming to see so many entries and we appreciate you taking the time to join in.  The challenge for this fortnight is :

Pink, Pink and more Pink

Remember, you don't have to use OLL designs but if you have any we'd love to see what you do with them.  If you don't have any OLL stuff there are some freebies in the shop for you to try. Make a direct link to your project with our little blue fellow and please, think about turning off word verification and using comment moderation instead. That makes our job easier and quicker when we have so many challengers.

Challenge #73

Hi Crafters!  I'm running a bit late with the post as I sat last night watching Dancing on Ice - what a farce - say no more!  When I'd finished watching the skate off I decided to leave the post till the morning when I was bright eyed and bushy tailed.  I woke up this morning to white stuff everywhere ...... again.  Thank goodness I'm off to a sunny place very soon!  Anyway, lots to cover so here we go!

I hope you managed to catch up with Haley on Create and Craft when she was showcasing Wendi & Emma's new CD All Dressed Up.  It's a fabulous CD and the lucky winner, picked at random is :


Naush - Congratulations!!!
Please email wenem@ooh-la-la-creations.com to claim your CD.

Challenge #72

Hi Crafters!
This could be a fairly lengthy post so grab a coffee and pull up a chair! What a stupendous turnout we had last week for our challenge of Bling it On. A very very big thanks from all the DT but also an apology. There were sooooo many entries that we didn't manage to make as many comments as we would have liked but, rest assured, all your hard work is very much appreciated by all of us here at Ooh La La.
________________________________________

We have a new CD due out on Saturday 29 January. Tune into Create and Craft at 12 noon to see the beautiful samples our DT have made for the show.  I'm sure you will love the CD as much as we do. There will be one waiting for a lucky winner, picked at random, from the entries of Challenge #72.

#1 - Cheryl of Sweet Designs


Congrats Cheryl! Please email wenem@ooh-la-la-creations.com with your

Sadly this is going to be Carol's last week on the Design Team. We will all miss her and her wonderful designs. Carol is heavily into parchment craft and last year was due to start work towards a PCA Diploma. Unfortunately that had to be put on hold due to a patch of bad health but now she's on the up and is going for it this year. We all wish her well in her course and look forward to her popping in every now and again. Good Luck xx

You still with me??? Well now it's onto our new challenge which is :

3 of a Kind

Remember, you don't have to use OLL designs but if you have any we'd love to see what you do with them, but if you don't have any there are some freebies in the shop for you to try. Please put a direct link to your project on our Linky thing and think about turning off word verification and using comment moderation instead. That makes our job easier and quicker when we have so many challengers.

Finally, before the DT inspiration, remember there is one of Ooh La La Creations new CDs up for grabs for one lucky winner. Get your crafty stuff out and join in - it could be you!

Challenge #71

Hi Crafters!  Hope you all had a wonderful New Year.  Unfortunately here in Scotland the snow is still making its presence felt and everyone is heartily sick and tired of it.  Fingers crossed that it disappears very soon and we can look forward to Spring and hopefully a good summer.

Thank you to all who joined in with our last challenge of 2010.  I sincerely hope this year doesn't fly by so quickly.  Still another year another challenge and this time we have something to cheer up the dismal days

Bling it On

We are very lucky to have a new Guest Designer - Tracey of My Creative Place.  Here is what she says about herself


My name is Tracey Rogers. I live in Pembrokeshire with my very understanding partner Tony.  I have been cardmaking for about 2 1/2 years and love all papercrafting, but my first love is stamping and using promarkers.  I am very lucky and currently design for Lexis Creations and Cardmadfairy's Creations but my greatest creation to date is my beautiful daughter Danielle.

I have thoroughly enjoyed crafting these projects using Ooh La La papers and images and have realised how totally versatile digi crafting is.  Happy crafting all.  Tracey x


Our DT have been really inspirational this time and here is there fabulous work for you to feast upon.
