Right, so onto our new challenge then.
This time the theme is hosted by Lisbeth
So Lisbeth it's over to you!
Oh boy, I thought my challengetheme was so smart! As usual I didn´t think twice, so this one became quite a challenge for myself as well ;)
Cards for men are difficult! I think gifts for men are difficult too! 
But men do have birthdays and deserve cards and gifts too, so every once in a while we need to put away the laces and bling and try out a  little masculine touch…
My card has the magnificent Elvis as motive, a man most people knows!

So then, onto the Design Team's inspiration.

An absolutely stunning wedding card inspired by Westlife's I do. 
I was totally blown away when I saw this design.
Congratulations Viv

Love the fact that an actual CD has been used on the card as well as the nod to vinyl (which is more my era) and the image is perfect for the We Will Rock You inspiration.


The image is exactly as I have always imagined Puff the Magic Dragon and I love the soft colour scheme and shading on the die cuts to give real depth to the card.

I am only sorry I'm only allowed a top three because there were so many more that I loved. Thanks to everyone who entered and good luck with this weeks challenge.

So that's our winners announced and just before we get to the theme of the new challenge I have one more little announcement to make.
We recently lost two of our fabulous design team who stepped down due to family commitments so that meant two vacancies.
I am very excited to announce that we now have two brand new DT members starting with us today and they are MICHELLE & ANNE!
Welcome girls - thank you for saying yes to the invite and I wish you a long and happy term here at Ooh La La. 
 I just know you are all going to love their creations.
***************
Right, so onto our new challenge then.
A STEP BACK IN TIME
This time the theme is hosted by Ciska
So Ciska it's over to you!
I love going back in time for crafty inspiration, there's so many eras to choose from, each with their own style. The gorgeous fashion doesn't hurt either and I love using elements of the clothing style to choose my embellishments, such as lace, pearls and patterns. I am very curious to see where this theme will take all of you!
