Challenge #76

Hi blogging buddies!  What a turnout we had for our last challenge of It's A Man Thing and there was us at the DT thinking we'd have a quiet fortnight as nobody liked making man cards, how wrong we were!!!  Humungous thanks to everyone who took part, we truly appreciate you taking the time to link up with us.

Challenge #75

Hi crafters wherever you are.  Lovely to have you with us again.  We had tremendous support and so many beautiful designs for our last challenge of Pink, Pink and More Pink.  I think that one was a topic you all enjoyed ... let's hope our new one is just as popular.  

It's a Man Thing

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 when we have so many challengers.

A new month and a new guest designer.  For March and April we have the lovely Kym of Kym's Crafty Cards.  Please check out her blog as she has some amazing creations.

Here's what she said about herself!

My name is Kym and I am a wife, and mum to two boys aged 18 and 14. I took up cardmaking in December 2004 by cutting up my previous years’ Christmas cards, sticking them on a card and adding an embellishment. I cringe when I think back and that I gave these cards to people!!  In January 2005 I was in hospital for 7 weeks and then off sick a grand total of 11 months. It was during that time I came across Dawn Bibby, and her shows helped me through a difficult time. It also made me decide that all the cards I sold I would give 50% to charity. I have come a long way card-wise since then and at the beginning of December 2010 I had raised £1200 for many different charities in 5 years by the selling of my cards. I so enjoy making my cards and taking part in challenges.  I enjoy rubber stamping, using digital stamps and love using CDs in my cards.  I was delighted to be asked to be a Guest Design Team Member for the Ooh-la-la Challenge Blog and it certainly didn’t take me long to say “yes”

A big thank you to Tracey who has been our guest designer for the past two months.  She created some stunning pieces and because of that we have asked her to become a permanent member of our Design Team.  Welcome Tracey!

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

#2 - Tracy of I Wanna Build a Memory

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.

Please enter CD Winner in the Subject line.

Enjoy!
