CRAFT Challenge 65

Hello everyone,

A bit late in doing this post. Here is my card for the current challenge at CRAFT challenge. It is a card I made for our karate teacher, who was 60 last Thursday.

I hope you like it. The image is one of my own creations, which I will upload on my digistamp blog at a later date. At the moment I'm a little short on time as there are a lot of changes happening at CRAFT Challenge. Our wonderful teamleader Claire, aka Hope Jacare, who is also our sponsor this week, is leaving. There are a few others of our team leaving as well. Both Andrea and Julie have left this week, we will miss you ladies! Claire and Ei will be leaving as well.

This will only leave Suzi, Rose, Enola, Tigerlover and myself. I have therefore been promoted to teamleader and with this comes a lot of organising. This on top of a busy job and household, lol. So bear with me as I get myself organised. It also means we have a DT call out for some more members. Closing date is the 2nd of September and we aim to get in touch with the chosen new members within 2 days of the closing date.

So, now to my card, here it is:

 I have used some papers by Toucan Scraps from he Birthday Blue papers.

And here is the wonderful stamp that Claire is offering to the winner this week, don't you just love it?

So, quickly start creating, and if you would like to be considered for the DT, please get in touch soon, just another 2 days before the deadline!

Love,

Jo.

Update no.1 CRAFT Challenge 61 and 64.

Hello there and evening.

I have not really had a chance up till now to add these two cards to my blog. The first was my DT entry for CRAFT Challenge 61, Hot and Spicy. I actually made 2 cards suiting this challenge and here they are:

For the second card I used some backing papers from Toucan Scraps, her 'Blue Birthday' range, aren't they gorgeous?

For last week's challenge was photo inspiration and here are my attempts for that one.

They are both quite similar.

Thanks for looking, I will be uploading some more cards soon and do look out for tomorrow's CRAFT Challenge.

Love,

Jo.

Hello again!

Hello everyone,

It has been quite some time since I have last blogged. I am afraid I have been extremely busy in the weeks leading up to my holiday, then had a great time on holiday and now need to get back in the swing of things and try to get everything up to date again. I will try to do better from now on.

Lovely to be back.

Love,

Jo.

CRAFT Challenge 56, black, lilac, lime.

Morning all,

Another Thursday, another challenge with us at CRAFT Challenge. This week we have a colour recipe for you : BLACK, LILAC and LIME. Hope you like my example for it. Unfortunately it somehow seems like lilac tends to look a little like blue on most photo's we take.

The image used is one of the many gorgeous images from our sponsor this week Sassy Studio Designs. Well worth taking part again this week for a chance to perhaps win access to some of these gorgeous designs.

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated.

Have a great weekend and looking forward to seeing your creations.

Love,

Jo.
