Challenge 175..... use 'SILVER + ANNIVERSARY'

Really loved looking at all the gorgeous falling leaves on your fab cards this week... I love Autumn/Fall the best time of the year for me.Thanks so much for your entries.

Yet another week has flown by... I truly do not know where this year has gone... I know we say that every year but this one seems to have vanished in a haze.
We do however have a winner for the Elegant Inspiration cd...... come in number

32


that's you.... Cath...well done...you will enjoy your candy I am sure..

please email me before 26th October to claim your prize.

Many thanks also to Jo who gave us 'Elegant Inspiration'... thanks so much

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.

Now take a look at the lovely DT cards... they come up with something different every week... thanks ladies.

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.

For Hilde and everyone

Sorry not to have made comment on your card but my anti virus is picking up some Malware on your blog so can't get in to see it .... just so you know why... I am not ignoring you

Since my first message I have had a few more to say other people are being affected by this... there is some trickery afoot.... please be careful and don't open blogs that appear to have a problem xx
