Your Challenge Cards

Michele 

Michele has certainly got her crafty 'mojo' back, just look at these four cards, they are amazing, Michele finally 

Managed to get herself that lovely 'Happy Birthday Tree' die, it has been out of stock for quite some time.  I have seen some lovely cards made with it, so I can understand why it has given your creativity a boost!

Janet

Janet has made 4 amazing Challenge cards this week despite being at Marigny with 'limited' stash (although i don't think we crafters ever have 'limited ' supplies)!

All four cards are amazing, so varied in style.

Here is Janet's description.....

My first Challenge card is using the colour BLUE- the die is a Tonic and called 'Dazzling Heart Bouquet Sleeve' The backing paper/ribbon and flower are from my stash. I coloured the flower with a Promarker

My second Challenge card is using the colour GOLD. The die is also a Tonic and called 'Oasis of Roses Sleeve'.. The corner dies are tonic. The ribbon is from my stash.

I only used the main cutting dies not making them into sleeves.

My third Challenge card is using the coloour BROWN  made from a  LA BLANCE 'Vintage Kit'

My fourth Challenge card is using the colour WHITE. The die is a Crafter's Companion and called on 'Scenic Village'. The white lace is from my stash and the glitter is from Crafter's Companion.

Thank you so much Janet,  your cards are incredible. I was so pleased to read that you had a 'Bit Box' and can therefore take part in this week's challenge.  I hope Jim enjoyed reading the feedback on his drawings. xxx

Lynda made this fantastic card is shades of Blue/Grey for her brother for his birthday earlier this week.

Thank you for sharing my lovely xxx

Maria

Maria has made this beautiful card for this week's 'shades ' challenge. 

The card is made using such a pretty shade of yellow/orange, the gorgeous flower in the centre of the card is one that Maria made yesterday, its beautiful Maria,  it's so frustrating that it makes your hands so sore when making them  I had same trouble, i think Sue did too. 

It was worth it though, it really is a pretty flower.

Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge my lovely xxx

Well ladies, another stunning display to brighten our day!  

I will keep short as I am super busy as Matt was rushed into hospital again yesterday  at thought they said it was Sepsis,  but after further investigation it turns out to be another Acute Kidney infection, they are thinking that it maybe down to his supressed immunity due to his strong arthritis meds,  coupled with having  scarred kidneys from two previous acute kidney infections (both at this time of year for past two years). Hopefully  they will investigate fully this time,  he was in Gloucester at his Girlfriend's house, so its a 60 mile round trip to visit.  But they mentioned transferring him to our local hospital as he is a 'complicated ' case and our hospital treated him last time.

I tell you, it doesnt matter how old your children are, they still worry you sick. 

Have a lovely Sunday my lovelies,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
