Challenge #92

Hello challengers!  What a busy couple of weeks I've had!  There seems to be so many things going on.  I was in Glasgow on 28th & 29th with my friend.  On 28th we went to the SECC to the Crafts for Christmas & Hobbycraft fair.  It was busy, busy, busy.  On 29th we hit the shops and I'm pleased to report that my Christmas shopping is well and truly finished.  Just all the wrapping up to do now - a job I detest!!!  My Christmas cards are coming an pretty well so all in all I feel my halo shining!  I hope you are all getting organised too.  We had lots and lots of fabulous entries for our last challenge of Let it Snow.  Big thanks to everyone who joined in.

Just a quick heads up, in the next few days I will be posting our new DT call for January - June.  Keep a lookout for it.

Challenge #91

Hi everyone!  Hope everything's gone well for you the past couple of weeks.  I just don't know where the time is disappearing to and can't believe that Christmas is looming.  Our last challenge had a difficult subject so thank you to those who joined in with us.  The designs were superb and perfect for such a sad occasion.

Challenge #90

Hi challengers!  Another two weeks have gone whizzing by and we've been very busy here at OLL commenting on all the wonderful designs that have been entered into our challenge of Punches / Dies.  Thanks so much to everyone who took part.

As was mentioned in the previous challenge post, Wendi and Emma have a new CD out called Festive Funnies.  I hope you were able to watch the launch on Create and Craft.  If you didn't manage to grab one of the CDs Wendi and Emma have given me two to give away.  One CD will go to the winner chosen at random from the challengers and the other one will go to the winner of our Top 3 ...... could it be you???  Pop to the bottom of the post to find out.

There is a second showing of Festive Funnies on Create and Craft on 17th October at 4pm.  This program also features Boys to Men and Christmas Presence ...... miss it at your peril!

Firstly I'd like to say a very big thank you to Lena Katrine who was our guest designer last month.  It was a pleasure working with her and we will no doubt catch up with Lena in blogland.

We have a new Guest Designer for October, the lovely Maxine.  A girl of few words but huge talent.  Here's what she has to say about herself!

I've been card making for 3 1/2 years and I'm addicted. My small craft box has now turned into a craft room and I'm in there every day crafting. I'm also a DT member for Trimcraft, Little Claire and Meiflower Crafts.
