BREAKING NEWS

My husband has just got his work permit for his new job overseas so there will be no chance for me to put up a new challenge for a couple of weeks. We need to get there and buy a new computer and get internet set up which will all take time.
So this week's challenge will stay up until further notice.

Sorry about this - we just heard last night and fly out on Tuesday.

Hope you will all understand and forgive me for not posting comments for a wee while.

Talk soon from over the waters xx

CHALLENGE 72 DRAGONS

Many thanks once again for your lovely alphabet creations, you can see the sampler on the favourites blog.

This week I have another lovely Guest Designer - Lyn - otherwise known as Blackdragon. Here is what she has to say.

'Hello... my name is Lyn, but I use 'Blackdragon', a name given to me by my dad, as I love all things dragon and I wear nothing but black.
I'm quite new to blogging, and the challenges, but I've been crafting in some way or another all my life.... so I'm a jack of all trades, master of none.
I am a widowed mum of 3, with a grown up son and twin girls of 4, I also look after my oldies, my grandparents 24/7.
I'd like the theme of the challenge this week to be anything 'DRAGON'.... scary fire breathers, graceful Chinese dragons, comical cute dragons.... or even dragonflies. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone creates.
Thanks to Cynthia, Rainbowlady for having me as her guest this week... its been fun.
Hugs Lyn x... Blackdragon'

So there we are DRAGONS it is. Also the lovely Lyn is giving a prize this week - thank you my friend - she will choose from the entries at the end of the week.

So get your thinking caps on and 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 are Lyn's ATCs for inspiration

FUTURE SLIDE SHOWS

From this week I am going to put all my samplers onto a separate blog here.

Many folks are having problems viewing blogs with slide shows so thought I would try something new by putting them all together and see how that works out.

Hope that this works out and you find you get onto the challenge site quicker this way.
