Challenge #114 - If the Shoe Fits

Hi followers, challengers and fellow crafters, it's Anne popping in to let you all know that I'm stepping down from my post as challenge co-ordinator and DT member. Crafting has become a chore for me rather than a pleasure so I know the time is right to move on to something new.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with OLL. It has been both an honour and pleasure  working with OLL's owners Wendi and Emma, the Design Team past and present and all our lovely Guest Designers. Last, but by no means least, thank you to everyone who took part in the challenges I set. It was such an inspiration looking at all your creations.
All that remains for me to do now is to hand the challenge blog reins over to my DT colleague and blogging buddy Dawn. I hope you will support her the way you did me and I wish all at OLL continued success in the future.
Big hugs
Anne xx

The theme this time is:
IF THE SHOE FITS!
So whatever you make should feature shoes in it somewhere.
I love challenges where shoes are involved because it means I get to use the fabulous Shoes in Bloom CD's from Ooh La La! If you've never seen them before then why not pop over to the Ooh La La Store and have a look at some of the cards in the galleries there.  If those pictures don't inspire you to buy one of the gorgeous CD's (and why would you want to stop at one I ask??) LOL, then I don't know what will.

So without further ado, let's have a look at what the fabulous Design Team have made for your delictation this time.
First here's what our Guest Designer Kim has produced for this challenge:



My name is Kim and I'm a craftaholic! I admit I'm addicted to so many different crafts and love trying new ones! So many crafts, so little time! I started blogging March 2012 to share my creations & enjoy sharing ideas with other bloggers.  I live in Lancashire, with my long-suffering husband Colin.  I'm mum to Lauren & Jack, step-mum to Charlotte & Lucy, and general servant to a lunatic dog & demanding cat. Ho hum!

Thank you Kim for being a wonderful Guest Designer for the month of September.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed having you with us.

And now on to the rest of the DT projects

Taking a break


If you want to take a closer look at any of the DT projects then just click on the name above their card to take you straight to their blogs.  You might even decide to have a look around whilst you are there because believe me they all produce some fantastic work.

Well, I can't wait to see what fabulous creations you all come up with for our "If the Shoe Fits" challenge this time.  Have fun everyone.

Challenge #112

Hi peeps!  I can't believe that summer's nearly over, the nights are beginning to draw in, the leaves are turning on the trees and we still haven't had good weather!!!  

Thanks to the girlies who joined in with our challenge of Oriental.  It wasn't one of our most popular themes but those who entered certainly gave me a hard time as it was my turn to pick the Top 3.

Challenge #111


Hi everyone!  Hope you are all enjoying watching the Olympics but still manage to squeeze in a little crafting time.  It's amazing that it's August already and the kids (here in Scotland) will be returning to school in another week.  The summer seems to have disappeared so quickly.  The DT have had great fun looking through all the wonderful designs for our Recipe challenge and Dawn found it very difficult making her choice for the Top 3 this week.

Firstly a big thank you to Kevin for being our Guest Designer last month.  It was lovely to have some male input and of course using his beautiful designs.  Kevin has kindly said he would like to GD for us again and we will certainly be taking him up on his offer so watch this space!

Now on to our Guest Designer for August.  We have the lovely Pauline from Crafting with Cotnob with us. 

Hi, my name is Pauline and I live in Hampshire with my wonderful husband Paul and two gorgeous sons, Matt (16) a budding musician and Laurence (14) who knows everything there is to know about pop music. Oh! and I mustn't forget the chickens, Annie and Clarabelle. I am relatively new to card making, I have been doing it for about two years now. I also enjoy making jewellery and home furnishings. I grow fruit and veg in a large greenhouse and on an allotment. I have created my blog to share my love of crafting and to enter challenges.
