Belt and Braces

Thank you for the bumper crop of Stripes last week. You obviously love a stripe as much as we do. Let's see if this week's challenge floats your boat.
The theme is
Belt and Braces
in the UK it is 31 years today since seat belts were made compulsory and to celebrate I thought it would be nice to belt up on a card as well!
Here are the amazing design team cards. We would love to see your creations so do add a link at the end of the post

"What's Your Tipple?"

A HUGE thank you to all those who shared such beautiful cards using our January Colour Combo - what a great start to 2014's crafting!

This week it's me (Kathy) here with a challenge for you.

 "What's Your Tipple?"
 or alternatively, "I'll Drink to That!"
 is all about the things we like to drink;  Tea, Coffee, Wine, Beer, Drinking Chocolate.....and the bottles, cups, glasses and mugs we use for them too
I love my cappuccinos, but at this time of year it's often a big mug of thick, rich, hot chocolate that hits the spot.  I like to heat the milk using the steamer bit of my cappuccino machine so I can top the mug off with some milky froth... mmmm I think I'll go and make one NOW!

So to recap (and get myself back on-topic) this week I'd like to see lots of drinks and drinking vessels on your card.
Cheers!

Here's what the team have been creating to help get you thinking

January Colour Challenge

Happy New Year fellow crafters!

Welcome back - I hope you're ready to join in with another year of inspiring challenges. :)

It's Nat here introducing you to the first of our dares for 2014.

This week sees the return of our ever-popular monthly colour dare. It's my turn to choose our palette for the week, and I couldn't resist this lovely mix of shades - perfect for cooler tones, but also bright shades to lighten up these grey January days.

Here's your colour inspiration for January:



We hope you enjoy mixing and matching these shades and look forward to seeing what you create!

Here are the cards the Design Team came up with!
