Hello again everyone and Happy Monday to you all.
Time once again for a new challenge at Ooh La La.
 Before I get on and tell you what the new challenge is for this next fortnight let's have a look at who our winners were from the last challenge
So, firstly let me say thank you for all your lovely entries once again and without further ado let's have a look at who our winners were.
This time the top 3 have been chosen by the host of the challenge, Michelle.
Michelle has said that this was such a difficult choice as there were so many beautiful creations to choose from.  So here goes with Michelle's Top 3 then.

Right, so onto our new challenge then.
THINGS WITH WINGS
This time the theme is hosted by our lovely leader Wendi
So Wendi it's over to you!
I have always loved butterflies and dragonflies,  as a little girl ( and yes I can just about remember ) we use to chase after then hoping they would land so we could see them up close, they were always so pretty usually Red Admirals and Purple Emperors, and Cabbage White of course, when I saw the artwork of Shawn Jenkins I fell in love all over again. 
French for butterfly is  Papillon and  dragonfly is Libellule

**************
So then, onto the Design Team's inspiration.
You will see that most of the Design Team have used images from the brand new CD - The Shawn Jenkins Collection.

As a special treat for one of our entrants we are giving away a copy of this CD in addition to the Top 3 this time.  What better reason to take part in this challenge!!

Just a quick footnote:
You may have noticed that Wendy (Purple Crazy) has been missing.  Wendy is having one or two problems at the moment so will be taking a short break to make sure she returns to us when her health is better.  Get well soon Wendy. Big hugs from all the team.
Well, I can't wait to see what fabulous creations you all come up with for our "Things with Wings" challenge this time.  Have fun everyone.

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!

#64 Viv

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.
