A warm welcome to the Ooh La La Challenge Blog. A new challenge will be posted here every other Monday. We hope you will join us whenever possible.

Anyone can join in, all you have to do is follow the theme then showcase your project on our blog. We love to see you using OLL images and/or papers but it's not necessary to enter. If you'd like to try some OLL designs click on the link to the shop on the sidebar as there are some fantastic freebies for you there.

Please post your project on your blog with a link to our challenge, most importantly HAVE FUN!

Challenge #155

Hi all, it's Dawn here to welcome you to the brand new challenge here at OLLCB.  The theme I have chosen for you this time is "Faithful Friends".  I can't wait to see how you interpret it!  Now, you don't have to use OLL images or papers to play along but it does make us smile when you do!  If you don't have any OLL designs yet and you'd like to try them out, pop over to the shop and check out the freebies.
Love
Dawn x

DT News

Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to Ciska.  Her day job has become more time consuming and she doesn't have the same time to craft, so, reluctantly she has decided to step down from her place on the Design Team.  Thank you Ciska for your dedication to our challenge blog and your wonderful designs.  We'll miss you, but wish you well in the future, and hope you'll manage to fit in some craft time and join our challenges when you can.

Now for the good news, Pauline has rejoined us!  Sadly Pauline had to step down from the Design Team mid 2103 when things got a bit hectic at home but luckily for us she now has the time to craft again and asked if she could come back ... the door had always been left open for her to do that.  Welcome back Pauline!

Thank you to everyone who replied to the Design Team Call.  We will be looking at all the blogs during the coming week and the successful candidate will be notified by 4 May and 6 others will be invited to be Guest Designer for a month ... keep watching!

Challenge #151

Good morning everyone!  Firstly, thank you to everyone who entered our Fashionista challenge last week, there were some fabulous entries.  Please scroll down to see if you were picked for our top three.

Now this week it's my turn to choose a theme.  I've chosen this particular one as the next fortnight encompasses what would have been my parents' sixty third wedding anniversary.

Sadly Mum passed away in 2009 but I still always think of 10th March as their Special Day.  I used pictures of my Mum and Dad in my project this week, so here we go!  Scroll down through the incredible inspirational projects from all the DT and don't forget to check out their blogs and leave them some love.

Hugs from Alli and the Ooh La La Team x
