Your Challenge Cards

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

Well, apart from lack of internet access yesterday turned out to be a delightful day, we had the odd cloudy moment but for the most part the weather was glorious.

I ended up having to get Paul to take me out in the car to be able to upload your cards to the blog. So if yours hasn't featured today it will have arrived after we got home, I am sorry but rest assured I will share it in the week.

So without further delay, here are your cards....

Susan Dawson

Susan is one of the very talented ladies over on our Facebook group,  she has made a stunning Card with a beautiful insert and a matching box for the challenge. Your card is so pretty Susan, what makes a card extra special is the extra little touches like matching insert and the box turns it into a lovely gift.

Karin Vervoot 

Karin has made two beautiful  Post It Note Holders for our Challenge this week, I love the papers you have used Karin and that gorgeous flower that you have made to embellish your first Box.

It's really nice to see something other than cards for the challenge,  it shows that we can use the TicTacToe grids for other projects. 

Karin's Description....

"This is what I made for this weeks challenge. For the first one I chose Purple,butterfly and flower. I made a little trinket box with a flip top lid. This is my own design. I was not happy with it so had to try another one.  The second one is purple, stripes and a fun fold. The lid is my fun fold and it is a post- it note holder. I used the design by Ann Melvin of Positively Papercraft. I hope you like them."

Thanks so much Karin for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX 

 Maria

Maria has made an amazing Fancy Fold Card using some lovely Water coloured papers, Honey Doo and Carnation Stamps and Dies. 

Maria I absolutely love your card, I know how much effort you would have put into making something so amazing, it's worth every moment of your time and effort though.

Maria's Description...…

"  I saw this FANCY FOLD so

I thought, lets have a go    My first ever 4 fold card  !

I had some blocks with ready made Watercolour papers so I used that

as Background and also for the Flowers.  First line used  

Then I went hunting for some words and they are taken from SU Beautiful

you and stamps I had in my folder."

Thank you so much my lovely, I am blown away by your amazing card XXX

Michele has made a really pretty Birthday card for this weeks TicTacToe challenge, I always forget about those amazing embossing folders and how quickly you can make really lovely cards.

I love this pretty image on Karen's challenge card, it looks like a really pretty topper you will be surprised at its origin, I will let Karen tell you..

Brilliant find Karen, fantastic card, thanks for inspiration xxx

Cheryl

Cheryl has used the lovely Watercolour piece she did a few weeks ago to make a fantastic Birthday card, what a brilliant idea Cheryl, all you have to do is add the sentiment and mount it on a piece of purple card stock. 

The background has really made the colours pop.

Two fantastic Challenge cards from Janet, one simple yet elegant the other a gorgeous vintage style card.

Janet's description... 

"My first CC is made from scraps for the base layer and flowers from my stash. The butterflies are a Crafter's Companion edge die. I used STRIPES/SHADES OF PURPLE/BUTTERFLIES AND FLOWERS.

For my second CC I used base card from STAMPERI SPRING BOTANIC. The lace decoration and butterflies are from my stash as is the flower. I used SHADES OF PURPLE/FLOWERS/BUTTERFLIES."

Two fantastic cards Janet, love them both although the vintage style always wins my heart, thanks for taking part xxx

Amazing cards ladies, just look at all of those different, individual styled cards and Boxes, you are all AMAZING and I am so very grateful to you all.

We have another lovely day of Air Displays today, the highlight of which will be the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, it will bring back lovely memories of when we lived in Lincolnshire at Coningsby which is the home of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, that used to fly very low over our house every Sunday afternoon, such a delight.

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend too,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
