Your Challenge cards

Good Morning ladies,

Michele kindly set you another Challenge last Monday and this Challenge was to create a card or project that features 'Sparkle'

Michele kindly made 3 stunning samples to inspire you, all very different, using different kinds of 'sparkle' too.

Here are your incredible challenge cards...….

Janet

Four amazing cards from Janet for this weeks challenge, all completely different, they range from delicate floral patterns to bold Gold and Black cards.

The first card has a glitter card background and had two die cut triangular pattern pieces positioned on top, such a great effect.

Next card mixes pretty lilac card with a foiled background, it works perfectly, its nice to see Sue's Noble dies being used too.

Janet's next project is a stunning Christmas wreath, all in gorgeous greys and white, the dies used were all Sue Wilson dies, including the sentiment.  I love this wreath Janet, I bet it's owner gets it out every year!

Striking Black and Gold for Janet's fourth card, That die cut on the top of your card is exquisite Janet, I believe its a Crafters Companion die, I love that die cut sentiment too.

Thank you so much Janet for taking time of from 'stripping' to sent me some of your gorgeous cards.

Lilian

Lilian has made an absolutely gorgeous card for this weeks challenge, It looks like she has stamped a beautiful background pattern onto the card and then added double sided adhesive sheets and covered with iridescent glitter. I love the beautiful pearl embellishments you have used to finish your card Lilian.  

Thank you so much for taking part my lovely.

Maria

Maria has had a very busy crafting week, she has made 4 absolutely amazing challenge cards, she has been kind enough to include a description so I will add that below.

21) Let it Snow in White Glitter card with Blue Glitter card Snowflake

2) Black Embossed card, Little too heavy on the Gold Gilding Wax,

with Deep Red Poinsettia. The greeting has the Red card behind and

Black card with more gilding wax. Not sure if I like it that much.

3) Robin stainglass window, Silver glitter card, Little bit of Gilding flakes

but found it so fiddly so have put it away again. Jeez you should have seen 

the kitchen hahaha

4) Happy Birthday in Pink Glitter card  and White Glittercard behind with

Lilac / Purpely frame."

Thank you so much Maria for making 4 cards for Michele's 'Sparkle' challenge, I love all of your cards.

Karen

Karen has made two totally different challenge cards for this weeks 'Sparkly' Challenge,

I will add her descriptions below.

"The daisy one is an image from a free digikit from Serif  The inside has a joke about needing repotting The centres of the daisies are covered in micro beads Very effective in real life

Here's my 2nd card. 

So it's an image from MCS I think Janet or is it Lillian has this cd-rom Art Deco Follies. My craft club ladies love the cards I make using Art Deco (still!) and sold this card last night!"

Two amazing cards Karen thank you so much for taking part.

Margaret is making up for lost time with three gorgeous cards for Michele's 'Sparkly' challenge.

All three of Margaret's cards have glitter card as the background, 

the first card has a super cute,decorative 'Thank You' die cut cut into the top layer.

The second and third cards have beautiful sheets from the Stampin'Up ! Delightfully Detailed, Laser cut paper collection.  They feature some beautiful designs that need no embellishment.

Thank you so much for 3 stunning Cards Margaret.

Thank you once again for taking part and supporting Michele's challenge again this week, I just know she will be amazed at the stunning display of cards.

Friday was another glorious day weather wise, in fact I went into the pool, I have to add that I went in the sea on Thursday and it was so much warmer than the pool!  We had a lovely relaxed day, just lounging and reading etc.

I am a little 'miffed' though, the campsite usually stays open for another week, which is perfect for people without young children, its so much quieter so you always get a lounger at the pool etc, however this year they are closing today because they have thousands of students from Belgium arriving tomorrow for a festival called 'Route du Soleil' , so all we have heard for the past few days is hammering, banging, drilling and the constant beeping of a reversing fork lift truck! Yesterday they started erecting bizarre things around us at the pool too.  The frustrating part is that we have paid up until Saturday night, they have closed the sports courts area so the girls couldn't go play volleyball, or ping pong! They should start the construction of the festival site after they close the camp.  We are wondering if we will be asked to leave earlier so that they can get finished rather than us waiting by the pool until its time to leave, so we get almost another whole beach day in!  I am going to make them aware of our disappointment, even though it won't change anything, we have been coming here since 1995 (with the exception of about 3 years when the girls were babies), I think that counts for some kind of loyalty but I am guessing they won't be too bothered.  This festival is bringing in thousands of students paying for camping etc at a time when the camp site is very quiet. Watch this space! 

(soapbox stowed)!

Love and huge hugs to all of you,

Sandra

PS.  I hope that I managed to include everyone's cards, the internet at our Cabin in the woods (overnight stop) had pretty poor internet and wouldn't let me access my emails, so any cards that arrived after Friday night would possibly have been missed.
I will still feature them on the blog though when I get home. xxx
