Back to black

Happy Friday, crafters!

And a huge "thank you" to so many of you who used up their scraps with us :-)  It appears that quite a few of us crafters are prone to collecting papers of all kinds...

With days getting shorter and Hallowe'en coming closer I thought it might be a nice idea to really focus on the dark (and maybe the colourful against it). It's Svenja here and I'd like to take you

back to black

with me. So make a card that features the colour black as the main colour or as a distinctive central element. Sounds too sad for you? Just take a look at the Design Team's happy and fun makes!

Use up your scraps

Hello! It's Miri here this time.
Thank you for sharing your autumn cards with us last week. We loved seeing all the great elements of October on your cards.

This week I have a challenge especially for all you decluttering queens out there and it might help you achieve some goals you might have set:

Use up your scraps

Are there some papers etc. you want to use up before the new year? 
Is there a paper pad that is lying around since forever?
 Is your scrap box overflowing?
 Do you have a collection of coloured stamped images that never fit on your current projects? 
Show us what you create with scraps and papers you want to get rid of.

October Elemental Inspiration Challenge

Hello. It's Miri here this time.

Thank you for sharing your "tourism cards“ with us last week! 

We enjoyed our virtual tour around the world a lot.

It’s already October and I’m looking forward to some cosy golden autumn days.

Here is the inspirational picture I picked:

Please use at least three items from the moodboard on your card.

Here you can see some lovely examples from our design team:

Miri (hedgehog, leaves, plaid pattern)

Nat (someone in a hood, a furry animal, something knitted, and woodgrain)

Kathy  (Leaves, Woodgrain, Capital Letters, Colours)

Ruth  (an animal, leaves, pattern and something grown (mushrooms))

Dawn (colours, woodgrain, leaves)

World Tourism Day

Happy Friday!

It's Shabneez here and I'd like to thank you for joining in with the numbers challenge last week.  Google informed me that it is in fact World Tourism Day today and it's role is to raise awareness of international tourism.  So I thought what better way of aiding tourism than by showing off creations which make us think of other countries.

For this challenge I would like to see something from another country or culture so for example a cherry blossom from Japan, a henna pattern from India or even a cactus from Mexico!  I look forward to seeing your creations and here is some wonderful inspiration from the Design Team.

Got Your Number

Thank you to all who joined in with last week's dare set by Dawn.  This week it is my turn, Ruth, to set the challenge.

Both my boys have Birthday's in September and my eldest has turned 16.  So my challenge to you is to create something with a number on it!

And it doesn't need to be a Birthday number :)

Over to the team to see what they have created:

Special Thoughts

Hello everyone and a big thank you for joining in last weeks Elemental Inspiration challenge.  

It's Dawn here to host this week's challenge.  

Special Thoughts

The challenge I have set is a personal one for me.  I recently lost my Dad to cancer after a 9 year battle.  My Dad was my hero and I miss him so much.  So I want you to create a card for that special person, in memory of someone special or just to let a friend know you are thinking about them.

As a family we received lots of cards after Dad passed away and it was comforting to know how much people cared.

Let's see how the Design Team were inspired this week.
