Challenge #148

Hello again everyone and Happy Monday to you all.  I hope you are all well and looking forward to taking part in another challenge from OLL.  I have chosen the theme of 'A Man Card' this time as it seems to be a difficult one and I'm going to ask you to don your thinking caps and come up with something special. Remember, it's not long till Valentines day so perhaps you could make a card for your significant other! Whatever you come up with ... enjoy!  The design team are looking forward to seeing your wonderful creations.
Hugs

Hi! My name is Kevin, I've been card making for about 6 years now, I started card making when I had to pack up work due to ill health.  My wife got me started and I've never looked back and being blind in one eye has not stopped me, it just takes me a bit longer to produce my finished cards.

Welcome, Kevin, to our happy team!

I loved the way the die cuts were used to enhance the gorgeous image and provide such depth to the design, and the fact that this card could be used for any winter occasion, not just Christmas.

The attention to detail on this is wonderful and the amount of depth in the design is superb.

The lovely clean feel of the gingham, and the simple colour scheme along with the beautiful die cutting is just gorgeous.

This week we also have a special mention for
Litasha


Litasha is 14 years old and lives in India and I was really impressed by the gorgeous Christmas tree and the lettering on her entry.

Congratulations to all our winners.

Challenge #146

Good Morning All!
Alli here, well only two more sleeps left until Christmas day.  I hope you are all organised and have some spare time for a bit of crafting either before or after the big day is upon us.  I know we are probably all Christmas carded out right now, but what about all those other Winter occasions, Birthdays, Weddings, Christenings, Anniversaries.  This is what this challenge is all about, any project that has a winter theme to it, and whilst Christmas is not excluded I'd love to see how you use all those lovely Winter themes to celebrate other occasions.  Scroll down to see the fabulous inspirational designs from the lovely ladies of the DT.

Finally, have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for supporting Ooh La La Creations Challenges during 2013 and we look forward to seeing more fabulous work from you in 2014.

Challenge #145
Different Use of a Doily
chosen by Ciska

Doilies are really popular in the crafting world right now and I can definitely see why; they really add a little something extra to a project, especially vintage-style projects. Of course you can use them as is, but I want to challenge you to think outside the box a little bit and alter your doily. Cut it, stamp it, colour it, emboss it, fold it, do whatever you feel, as long as you don't use the doily straight out of the packet! The DT girls have incorporated fantastic ideas in their project to share with and inspire you. I'm curious to see where your creativity will lead you :)
