Week 73 – Colour combo

Wow where are the weeks going??  It only seems like yesterday we were announcing last week’s challenge lol!  The DT had a lot of fun looking at all your recycled items last week – you are a very imaginative lot and there seemed to be lots of chocolates eaten just for the ribbons haha!  Please call back later to find out who Tracy has chosen as her top 5 and to find out who the lucky winner of the Pink Gem Designs stamp will be. 

Our challenge this week has been set by Andie and she has given us a colour scheme to work with “orange, black, green and purple”  with the option of halloween.  Now most of the DT have opted to make halloween cards but that’s entirely up to you, you don’t have to.  Please remember to be included in our prize draw you must use your promarkers or aqua markers. 

Our sponsor this week is The Craft Garden and the lucky winner winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

The DT have created stunning samples for your inspiration once again this week (to visit their personal blogs just click on their names):

We hope the ideas have started to flow and you will have chance to enter our challenge this week.  We can’t wait to see what you come up with and look forward to visiting your blogs.

Week 72 - Theme

Morning crafters and welcome to a brand new challenge!  Before we go into the details of the challenge we want to say how beautiful your entries were for Sue C’s ‘vintage/shabby chic’ challenge last week.  You all obviously enjoyed that theme and the standard of the entries was superb.  Please check back later to find out if you are one of Sue C’s top 5 passionista and to see who the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen will be. 

So, onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Tracy and she has chosen “recycled”  i.e. use something on your projects that wasn’t originally intended for crafting such as buttons off your cardigan, ribbon from inside your tops – your get the drift!!  Also to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your promarkers or aqua markers. 

Our sponsor this week is Pink Gem Designs and one lucky winner will receive 1 stamp of their choice from their store. 

The design team have been raiding their cupboards and drawers this week and found lots of bits to recycle and this is what they came up with (to visit their personal blogs please click on their names):

Tracy

recycled an old pair of jeans & buttons

Andie

used newspaper for buttons and ribbon from inside of skirt

Anja

recycled inside of toilet rolls

Debs

Denise

Emma

Wow we’re sure you’ll agree that the DT have done a brilliant job once again this week and that they have given you lots of ideas of things you could use on your own projects.  We can’t wait to see what you create this week and look forward to visiting your blogs.
