Challenge #69

Hello everyone!

Thanks to the ladies who joined us last time with some really awesome designs for our Christmas Song challenge.  This challenge is going to be the last Christmas one of the year, 'phew' I hear you say.  

Can you see my halo shining brightly???  I do solemnly declare that I made every single one of my cards this year and they are all ready to go to the Post Office today.  I hope you have managed to do the same but if you still need those last few our challenge will help you out as the theme this week is :

Nativity Scene

We hope you will find a little crafting time in amongst the wrapping, shopping, decorations etc and play along with us this time.

I'll be back later today with the top 3 for last time.

Our awesome design team have come up with some fabulous inspiration

Challenge #68

Hi Crafters!

If you live in the UK the chances are you'll have piles of snow.  Brrr winter has come way too early but it's great if you can stay indoors, warm and cozy, in your craft room.

Big thanks to all who joined us last week for our challenge of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.  We did notice there were some entries that didn't stick to the theme but in the spirit of Christmas we let them off with it - this time!

It was the turn of our lovely DT member, Dawn, to pick the Top 3 and here's her choice, which as usual was very difficult.

Challenge #67

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all managing to keep cozy, dry and safe with all those gales about.  Hope the white stuff doesn't follow too quickly.  Christmas is bearing down fast but this morning I sorted out all the things I've already bought and woop, woop, only 1 more to go!  I still have all my cards to write, most of which I've made this year by following the Christmas challenge blogs but why, oh why, didn't I just do the inserts at the time?  I HATE doing inserts but now I'm left with dozens to do :(

Thank you to the ladies who took part in our last challenge of Remember Remember.  So many stunning cards that it made Carol's choice for the top 3 extremely difficult.  Here is her final selection :

#1 - Tine of Crafting Christine

Please email wenem@ooh-la-la-creations.com

#2 - Maria of Joyful Stamper

Challenge #66

Hi everyone!
It was a scary two weeks, thank goodness Halloween only comes once a year but having said that there were some fabulous designs from our very talented challengers.  A big thank you to all who joined in with Scary Stuff.  We are running a bit behind schedule with our Top 3 this time but check back and the winners will be posted during the week.

The challenge for this week is :

Remember Remember

As it's a new month we have a new Guest Designer.  Please welcome Hazel of My Crafty Outlook.  Here's a little bit about Hazel.

As a child I loved anything to do with paper and drawing (but not painting) - did a lot of sketching when I was at secondary school - loved doing portraits, still life etc. I loved doing anything that required cutting, sticking ...

At some point in my adult life I discovered cross stitch - for quite a while I said I'd never do it because I preferred embroidery, but once I started I was hooked on it, but I can't do it now because of physical difficulties.

Cross stitching is how I got into cardmaking, then started to produce cards on the computer and then cardmaking with papercrafting took over about ten years ago. I love all sorts of techniques, including stamping.

Over the past three years or so I've dabbled in scrapbooking, but still consider myself a novice – I also like making, altering and decorating notebooks, mini albums, tins and boxes etc.

The design team have pulled out all the stops and here's their inspiration.
