Challenge #150

Hello again everyone and Happy Monday to you all.  Ciska here with a new challenge for you, this time I would like to see some "FASHIONISTA".  I'm not really into fashion but I do love to see images from times gone by and check out ways they dressed back then.  Whether it's the Victorian age with their beautiful long dresses or flashes of neon from the eighties, it really inspires me in my crafting, so wanted to give you the same inspiration.  Let your project become a fashion victim and show us some fashionista!  It can be from the olden days or today, as long as there's someone with some fashion sense.  Make sure you let us know from which era you found fashion inspiration!

I have a special mention for Ingvar Kvinnesland
I am a man, 36 years old, living in Norway who have been scrapbooking/card making for about 2 years. Most of my projects are 3D made from paper. I cut most things by myself, but also like to mix the paper project with other materials, like wood, plastic, metal etc.

My contribution don't have a name, but the idea was to make a heart trophy with lots of flowers, glitter and mist.

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 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.
