Now onto a new challenge for which there will be a surprise blog candy from me personally this time .. not telling just yet.

On the 29th is is our, Geoff and mine, Silver Wedding Anniversary.... yeah 25 years together... who would have thought it.... so..... your challenge is to use SILVER all over your card and if you make an ANNIVERSARY card you will get 2 entries into the draw for the blog candy.... and if you add PURPLE into the mix you will get another entry ...woo hoo.... as you can see I got married in purple (not the done thing in those days... but imagine me in white... ugh never) - here I am shamelessly asking for anniversary cards lol.

See pictures below... one thinner lady and one much darker haired man lol G says I caused it to go grey faster lol. And I blame him for all the lovely home cooked meals he makes... I don't do cooking lol

On the big day we will, Insha'Allah (God Willing), be in Amsterdam.... so forgive me if I don't get to comment till later in the week.... then we will be at NEC lol but I will get to comment I promise.

As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours.  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.

So onto a new challenge.... this week your topic is 'Falling Leaves'... there are so many of them around on the ground up here in the Highlands and they look so beautiful... I love autumn... my favourite time of year.

There is a new sponsor for you this week..... 'Elegant Inspiration' is the name of the cd we are giving away.... many thanks to Jo for her generosity.  If you live in the Uk you will know that this is the Pick of the week this week on Ideal World and Create and Craft.
It comprises images from the wonderful Canadian artist Rachelle Anne Miller but has the added extras of templates that can be cut using computer driven cutting machines... a first for cds.
Below are some sample cards made by Jenny  and also another friend Trish (she does not have a blog.... have to sort that out methinks) just to give you an idea of what is on the cd.
They are both sample makers supreme... well done ladies.
