Queen for a Day

Good Morning Crafters! First of all a huge “thank you” to everyone who played along with Dawn’s 4-themed challenge. It was great to see so many of you joining in! But now for something completely different… On September 22nd of 1515 Anne of Cleves was born, 4th wife of King Henry VIII and Queen of England – not for a day but for just over 6 month. But, hey, I think she’s the only Queen referring to my hometown Kleve and she managed to keep her head on her shoulders! Therefore the theme I chose for you this Friday is… Queen for a Day! Let’s all celebrate Anne’s 502nd birthday with some royalty themed cards. (And, yes, of course… fairy queens and frog princes are allowed to the party, too.) Just take a look at the Design Team’s creations first and then… have fun! Svenja    Dawn       Shabneez Kathy      Jennifer   Miri

4 Of Something

Hello Crafters.

Thank you to everyone that played along in last weeks challenge from Joanne to celebrate International Literacy Day.

Its Dawn here with this weeks challenge and I have decided to call it.

4 Of Something

I celebrate the big 40 yesterday and today is our wedding anniversary so this weeks challenge is to put 4 of something on your card.

Lets forgot the zero as I intend on staying 39 for every birthday from now on.

So you could include 4 designer papers, 4 embellishments or the number 4.

Hope you will join in and here is what that Design Team came up with.

International Literacy Day

Hello, Joanne here today.  Thanks for playing along with us last week - wasn't Kathy's mood board pretty?

Today is International Literacy Day according to UNESCO. I've always been a reader and can't imagine life without a book on the go.  So, let's celebrate the joy of the written word - your card could feature images of books, a favourite literary character or quotation, a portrait of an author, you could acknowledge a special teacher... where will your imagination take you?

Here's what the design team came up with.

Fast Food and Coffee to Go

Hello and welcome to another Daring Friday!

Thanks to those who joined in last week with our "Action" challenge.  This week we're still on a sort of action theme, but this time it's the good and drink that's on the move!

Our challenge is all about

Fast Food and Coffee To Go!
 

We're heading to the Take Away or the Fast Food Outlet for this one.

 Burgers, fish and chips, pizza, noodles and stir fries, maybe Fajitas or a sneaky takeaway curry.  And don't forget those takeaway coffees, teas, colas etc

Here are this week's ideas from our fab team

Action

Happy Daring dare Everyone!

Thank you to all who joined in Enfys's fun 'Unnatural Colours' challenge 

last week - what great ideas!

This week we have just one word for you

Action

It's a one word challenge - the idea is that you use the word however it inspires you, or whatever it makes you think of. 

For example it could be sports action, or film, or an Action phrase like 'Action Stations', 'Take Action' or 'Lets see some Action!, or the card itself could have an action or moving element,  

Or anything else inspired by the word - it's all up to you.

So, how did the Design Team respond to the Call for Action this week?  With some great ideas, of course!

Unnatural

Hello, it's Enfys here to set this week's dare. 

First of all, thanks to everyone who played along with last week's challenge, as always, the team love seeing your take on the dares

This week's dare is using colour in a way that isn't found in nature, so I am calling it

Unnatural

So think of purple trees, pink elephants, yellow pigs and multi coloured forests........ we look forward to seeing where your imagination takes you!
