CHALLENGE 105 HOME SWEET HOME

Good evening folks - many apologies for not getting my challenge up yet. I have just last night returned from my wonderful overseas trip and am not yet over the jet lag completely.
I do thank you all for your entries which I know will be great. The sampler from last week is now up and running on my favourites blog.
However to get you started on this week your challenge will be HOME SWEET HOME - interpret as you wish - can you tell I am glad to be home?
As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge and thanks also for your patience.

CHALLENGE 104 - NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Many thanks for your lovely ocean colours entries last week - all beautiful as always.  You can check them out on the sampler over at my favourites blog.

Now onto a new challenge for this week - when you read this I will be on my way to New York for a few days vacation so this has inspired my topic this week.  On first reading  you may not have anything that says New York but stop and think for a minute -

the big apple, yellow taxi cabs, tall buildings, the Hudson river, Broadway with it's theatres, American football, red rose the state flower, sea scorpion the state sea fossill, blue bird the state bird  - any/all of these will be acceptable for the challenge.  So go on give it a go - you may surprise yourself with what you come up with.

As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.

Here is my card to inspire you - the background is the one I made for the previous challenge.

 

CHALLENGE 103 - OCEAN SHADES OF BLUE AND GREEN plus...

Lots of lovely entries last week so many thanks to you all. I will get the sampler done very soon on the favourites blog.
This week I am over the waters in Bermuda where the ocean is very blue as is the sky - sorry folks if you have cold and rain ....  so.....
My challenge to you is to create something usung OCEAN SHADES OF BLUE AND GREEN but please use an INITIAL or two as well. Could be the initial for the person you are making the card or for something on the card as on mine for the butterfly.
 As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look.

Here is my card to help with some ideas.

CHALLENGE 102 - YOUR OWN CHOICE with a twist

Many thanks again for your Alice entries - you will be able to see them on the sampler very soon.
Onto this week and the new challenge - you may do whatever you wish - BUT I would like you to make your own background paper please, no printed papers at all.
I have actually made mine but alas time does not permit me to make the actual card as when you read this I will be flying away over the waters again.  I will try to post it when I get there.
As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.
Now please don't be alarmed if I don't check your entry straight away - it will take time to get internet set up again over the waters.
I hope you get messy making your background - have fun and create.
