Ooh la la and wunderbar!

Hello, it's Lythan here this week - first a big thank you to all who joined in and played along with the Dr Seuss themed fun last week.

Well, this weeks dare is a little bit retro. As it is the European Day of Languages today I would like your card to feature a foreign language.

This takes me back to one of the very first Daring Cardmaker Dares (November 10 2006 to be precise) which was a similar challenge. So why not also see if you have any cards to show from 5 years ago to see if your style has changed?

Here are a few new ideas from the fabulous team to get the creative juices flowing

It's Jo here this week to dare you with the theme of Dr. Seuss.

I loved reading Dr. Seuss books when I was little and my children love them now so this week, I would like to see Dr. Seuss inspired cards - whether they feature Green Eggs and Ham, The inhabitants of Whoville, The Cat in the Hat or are inspired by the colours, font or rhyming phrases, it will be brilliant to see what you make!

The DT have made some gorgeous cards, and we hope you'll be playing along with our theme this week, too

(What's the Story) Morning Glory....

Thank you all for joining in with last week's dare - it was wonderful to see just how many "natural" items you all found to use along with the Kraft card theme. We'll all be looking at feathers, twigs and string in a new way from now on!

Now on to this week's challenge....

It's the 2nd day of September and the first dare of the new month so we're looking to the flowers associated with September for our card-making inspiration, they are:

Asters and Morning Glory

We'd love you to join in and play along with us, using either one or even both of these lovely flowers as your starting point - we are really looking forward to seeing what you create, so please remember to come and leave a link and a comment when you're ready to share.

Have fun!
