Janet

Janet has also made three gorgeous cards, just look at that pink one, a real WOW!!

First card: Shades of Pink/ Embossing/ Pearls or Rhinestones

Second card: Shades of Green/ Embossing/ Happy Birthday

Third card: Shades of Blue/ Ribbon/ Happy Birthday

Janet you have made three stunners this week, that pink card is a real show-stopper,

With those hand rolled flowers and stunning flourish.  The second card is amazing, in my favourite colour, the simple Embossed pattern works perfectly with the shape of your card, the beautiful cameo adds the perfect finishing touch.  The third card is so perfect, that stunning shade of blue you used for that die cut oval edged with tiny pearls, looks amazing, you topped that with an incredibly detailed die cut, you then finished the card perfectly with that rolled rose trim and a gorgeous hand tied bow.

Three stunning cards Janet, thank you so, so much for 'smashing' this challenge!!

Margaret

Margaret loved the Challenge this week, so much she made two cards, 

First card: Shades of Blue/Happy Birthday/ Ribbon

Second Card: Shades of Pink/ Patterned paper/Happy Birthday

Two stunning cards Margaret, you have become a truly inspirational member of the Stampin'Up! community, I am proud to share your cards, being able to say "My team member made these cards"!! 

Your first card was made using 'Blooms & Wishes' stamp set which you used to create your own decorative paper, Stampin' Up! 'Lots of Labels' Framelits frame your sentiment perfectly.  I bet you are glad you bought them, I think they were one of my best buys! 

Your second card was made using  SU Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper in Berry Burst, and "Label Me Pretty' stamp set for your sentiment!  

Two gorgeous cards Margaret, thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge.

VAL

Oh Val such a cute card, I love that cute kitty!

You chose: Shades of Pink/ Pearls, Rhinestones/ Embossing

You have used such a pretty Embossing Folder, it looks like really decorative butterflies, your delicate backing paper work so beautifully with the card you have used for your to die cut your corner flourishes. All finished off with a circle at sparkly rhinestones and that cute cat topper.  

How you have managed to be so creative in the extreme heat amazes me, I hope you were in your 'usual' craft room uniform 😉😉 and had the fan on!

Thank you so much Val.

Michele

Michele I adore this 'Clean and simple ' card style, you have chosen : Shades of Green/Patterned paper/Embossing 

I know you have been under such pressure at work Michele and on top of that you  have had the worry of your Dad having major surgery and having to support him through his recovery. On top of that you have had the worry of Phil's job!  

When you messaged me saying 'this is all I can manage this week' it bought a tear to my eye Michele, I am so grateful for any card anyone makes but when any of you go out of your way to make a card it really gets to me, the fact that your loyalty over rides any problems you have going on amazes me.  You should be so proud of yourself for being able to create something so lovely despite being preoccupied.

But please never feel like you have to apologise! 

Thank you my lovely, so very much.....

Brenda

Brenda was asked to make this card, it's a fantastic example of a 'pesky man' card !! 

Brenda chose : Shades of Blue/ twine/Happy Birthday

I love this clean and simple, tone on tone card, the simple addition of the twine gives the card a more 'rustic' feel, I love that label die with sentiment you have used Brenda, it works so perfectly cut simply for this 'man' card, yet the addition of a few flowers and embellishments would transform it for a girly card too.

Thank you so much for taking part Brenda, I hope you enjoyed your night out last night.

Pat

Pat has chosen : Shades of Blue/Embossing/Happy Birthday

Although she probably didn't realise she had chosen those categories of that she had entered the challenge this week!! (pat emailed me 5 or 6 cards that she had finished)!

This one ticked all the boxes so I thought I would enter it on her behalf!  

I hope you don't mind Pat, lol !! 

This card was made using Sue Wilson's Shadow Box collection, such a fantastic card, thanks Pat for sharing your card.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to take part each week ladies.  

I am going to go and prepare tomorrow's Challenge, if there is any way you could get the cards made by Thursday night/Fri morning  that would be great, however if that isn't possible don't worry, we have WiFi in our hotels on route so I should be able to add any on those days.  I am fully intending keeping the blog running as per usual, I would miss you all way too much if I didn't check in each day.

Enjoy your Sunday my lovelies,

Love and hugs

Sandra
