Marie Antoinette

Thanks to all of you that joined in with Rein's fabulous post theme last week. It was great to see so many fantastic cards.

This week's challenge:

I want to see your Vintage Parisian/Palace of Versailles creations as this week's theme is

Marie Antoinette

There are lots of possibilities with this theme - your card doesn't necessarily have to feature the Queen herself, but can be in a Baroque/Palace of Versailles style, or something inspired by the fantastic gowns and wigs she wore. Or, you could even opt for a 'let them eat cake' inspired card (even though she apparently never actually said that!)

Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Post It!

Thanks to all of you that joined with us last week, what a lot of fabulous cards we had to see

It`s Rein here this week and my dare for you is

"postable" people

Please use things with a postage/mail theme such as postmen, postage stamps, parcel delivery or perhaps postage-inspired greetings on you card.

Have fun, and don't forget to come back and show us what you've made. Here are some ideas from the team to start you thinking!

Pretty hearts and paper doilies

It's lovely to see that so many of you enjoyed last week's dare.
There was definitely a lot of love in the air with those red and pink colour combinations!

This week's challenge:

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I wasn't about to let the opportunity for using my current two favourite design elements pass us by!

This week I want to see you make a card that features both...

Hearts and Doilies

There are so many ways to combine the two. Why not experiment and try something new?

Happy creating!

February's Colour Combo Challenge

Thank you to all who joined in with Jo's Wishi-Washi challenge lasdt week - you certainly came up with some great ways to use Washi tape, it was fun to visit your blogs to see your cards.

Our Big News this week is that as we really couldn't bear to let her go after her time as Guest Designer we've managed to persuade the fabulous Gez to join our team full-time. We hope you're just as happy to hear she's staying as we are!

This week it's the First Friday of the Month Colour Combo Challenge and it's Jo back again with her choice of colours:

Pink and Red

Just in case you need a little more colour-inspiration here's a photo to get you thinking:

We're looking forward to seeing a blaze of pink and red shades when we visit your blogs this week - just the right colours to brighten February up, and of course a great chance to get ready for Valentines Day - though any sort of card is fine, of course. Just have fun

Here are some cards from the team to get you thinking
