CHALLENGE 85 RECYCLE

Well, another new year has started, thanks so much for all your lovely entries last week - so many new folks joined in so welcome all.  You can see the sampler over on the other blog. If there was a prize this week Catt would surely win for all her lovely entries.
I am sure if you are anything like me you would have lots of packaging, labels and paper around the house over the festive season so my challenge to you this week is to RECYCLE something and use it to create your work of art.
I was bought some lovely socks positioned in cupcakes stuck to this wrapper - hmmm - thought it could be used for something and here is the result.

So 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.
If you feel very brave and would like a second part to the challenge you could use THREE APERTURES as I have done.  Have fun.

If you would like to be one of my Guest Designers this year please add GD to your message posting thanks.

Happy New Year

To each and everyone I wish a Happy, Peaceful and Healthy New Year.
Thanks for your continuing support.
Love and Hugs xx

CHALLENGE 84 - NEW

Wishing you all a very Happy and Healthy and Peaceful New year.
May all your hopes, wishes and dreams come true this year of the Tiger.
Many thanks for the lovely DEER  entries - they can be seen on the sampler.
Your new challenge, the first of the year will be NEW. 
New Year, New You, New products, New techniques or New  gifts that you received for Christmas.  Anything new would be a good start to the new year I think.
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.

A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

Many thanks for all your lovely entries and comments over the year.
I  just wanted to say have a Happy and Safe holiday season and a wonderful New Year.
The DEER challenge will last another week to give you chance to have a go and I will be back on 31st with a new challenge for you all.
Take care and love and hugs to all xx

CHALLENGE 83 - DEER OR LARGE ANIMALS

Well another challenge ends and a new one begins.  Thanks for your entries not many but lovely they are - you can see them on the sampler.
This challenge will last until the 31st of December and I challenge you to make something showing a DEER OR LARGE ANIMAL.  This could be tame or wild whatever you choose - I used a STAG as it is that time of year (we see them all the time in the Highlands beautiful creatures they are too) so if you have a DEER do use it but if not any large animal will do.
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.
If you want to be a Guest Designer next year just add GD to your message.

Wishing you all a very Healthy, Happy and Wonderful Christmas and thanks for all your support over the year.

Here is my STAG for you.

CHALLENGE 82 - MICA POWDERS

Many thanks for your lovely entries last week - you can view them over on the sampler.
This week my challenge to you is to use MICA POWDERS or MICA SHIMMER MISTS on your creation. These are always popular (though they don't show up on scans too well I am afraid) and look wonderful in real life.

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.

I am looking for Guest Designers for next year so if you would like to volunteer just add GD to your message posting.

Here is my card for inspiration - enjoy the challenge.

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