The House that Jack Built

 Hi, here we are - Friday again!

Thanks to those who joined in with Zuzana's challenge last week - it seems that it was definitely a tough challenge, but we believe the word "challenge" means that sometimes a little more effort is required, and maybe a step or two out of the comfort zone - so an even bigger Thank You to those who gave it a try.  Give yourselves a well-earned pat on the back!

It's Kathy here this week with a new challenge for you

I've taken the title of my challenge this week from an traditional British Nursery Rhyme that starts with the line:

 "This is the House that Jack Built"

You can read the whole rhyme HERE if you want to - it's far too long to copy here, but really it's just a nice title for a challenge that's all about Houses - or the walls, roof, doors, windows etc that you need to build a house.  Your card could show a whole house or just some of those - maybe just a door, or a window...it's up to you.  Just have fun and get creative

We're looking forward to seeing what you make, so please come and let us know where we can see your creations

Here are some ideas from our lovely Designers

Fun with Pictograms

Huge thank you to everyone who joined Keilly's fabulous "Lace and Pearls" dare.
Your cards were so lovely! We adored your stunning work!

This week is Zuzana here and I think I've come up with a very interesting dare for you:

Fun with Pictograms

 With the  London Olympic games knocking on the door I came up with the idea to  create cards using pictograms, icons or silhouette signs. Choose sport, travel, washing or some other basic signs, print them out -  or if you prefer use die cuts, punches etc
Have some fun and get crafty!

Here are the fabulous cards from our design team to help inspire you
