CHALLENGE 74 'THE ROSE'

Firstly an apology for this not going up earlier and also for not showing the slide shows . Could not get on blogger at all last night and had slide show problems too. Hope to resolve all later in the day computer glitches allowing.
Thanks for all your entries - will look at them later Blogger allowing - those I saw were fabulous.
This week I am in song mode and 'The Rose' is a lovely one. Westlife of course recorded it recently but I also have it as an instrumental by Acker Bilk from years ago - love the clarinet sound.
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.

Hopefully Blogger will improve as the week goes on and I will be able to get on and see how you are all doing.


Here is my card, made from Steph's 'Special Edition Roses' cd and covered with an acetate bubble (the light catching the bubble on the photo).

CHALLENGE 73 ACETATE

Many thanks to the lovely Lyn, Blackdragon, for last week's Dragon challenge and for your great entries. I will do the sampler as soon as I return home late on Thursday evening.

Back on line again

Just to inform you all I am back online over the waters right now however, I am flying back home on Weds arriving Thursday so there will be a new challenge this week - it just may be a little late on Thursday rather than early morning.
I would like to thank Lyn Blackdragon for her great Dragons challenge last week.
The sampler will be up as soon as I get home and organised once more.
Hope everyone well and happy
xx

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.
