Monday Challenge

Good Morning Ladies,

Here we are at the start of another week, Michele has organised us all another Challenge, this weeks challenge is something completely different, you will love it.

Challenge No 3= Use something that Sparkles. Glitter, Gemstones or Gilding Flakes, Mirror card. 

or just about anything you consider sparkly, get out those glass beads you bought when Sue Wilson used them a few years ago or using double sided adhesive and adding glitter to a pretty background paper.  This challenge will be great for getting those Christmas cards started.

As always I can't wait to see what you decide to make, Michele has made you three amazing sample cards to get you inspired.

The first card is a printed image that Michele has added sequins and gems to to give it that super sparkly look, you couldn't fail to smile when you opened this card.

The second card has a die cut top with Gilding Flakes behind, they give such an amazing shiny effect, the photo does not do this card justice. I think you really get what you pay for with Gilding Flakes, just look how many colours are in that background, you can so many colour combinations too, I have one from Indigo with rich chocolate browns in with a lovely gold.

Michele's last card is a simple but really effective card, if my memory hasn't failed me that die was a magazine freebie, what an amazing freebie too. Michele has simply added glitter card behind the die cut front.  I love how it looks, I think it would look really good with those gilding flakes behind too, maybe die cut into Kraft card, oh I am in my 'Virtual' craft room creating it as we speak.

Michele, I am so grateful to you for taking over running the Monday Challenges while I have been away, you have done an amazing job, choosing three very different, interesting challenges.

We are in the last week of our holiday now, we leave here this coming Saturday and begin our journey home.  Sophie and Lucy made a little error, they thought that they were flying home on the day before we left, (so Friday the 7th), so we had planned to go drop them off, have a nice dinner out, enjoying our last day.  They have actually booked to fly home on the actual day we leave, so we will now pack the car, leave here, drop them off at the airport late afternoon and then travel on to our first hotel, which should work out ok, they may have to kill an extra hour or two at the airport, there are plenty of places to eat etc so I am sure they won't get bored.

Right I am off to enjoy these last few days,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
