Kitchenalia!

Thank you to those who really stepped up to the challenge and joined in with Zuzana's fabulous Social Networks dare last week - a "virtual" gold star to all who accepted the challenge!

This week it's Kathy here with a challenge which I hope will get you cooking up some great cards.

Kitchenalia!

As we've just started work on remodelling some areas of our house, including knocking the Kitchen and Utility rooms into one space, kitchens, and all things Cookery are very much on my mind at the moment. So these are the things I'd like you to incorporate on your card this week. I'd like to see kitchen and cooking themes - but not just cupcakes, though of course you can add some of those into your design if you wish.

We can't wait to see what you'll be cooking up for us this week, so please join in and have some "cheffy" fun with us.

Here are some fabulous "Kitchenalia" cards from the Team to start you thinking

Hi, it's Zuzana here setting this week's challenge.

You know that we are living in the new communication era, so I have chosen a

MIRACULOUS SOCIAL NETWORKS

dare for you.
I would like to see Facebook, Twitter, Skype, You Tube ... on your cards.

You can use funny sentiments, colour scheme, fonts, style, layout or PC image.

Here are some teasing Design Team's cards to inspire you :

"First Friday" Colour Combo1

Happy New Year!

Helloooooooo

We're back after out Christmas Break and raring to go with lots of lovely new dares to challenge you. A huge thank you to everyone who joined in with Keilly's "Spots and Stripes" challenge - the cards were wonderful (as always) and entries have just kept on coming!

This week we have the very first in our brand new "First Friday" series. Over the last couple of years we've used Birthstones and Flowers for these challenges,and they've both been interesting and inspiring themes to work with.

For 2012 the First Friday of each month will feature a

Colour Combo Challenge

It should be fun - we're all taking a turn at choosing a combination of colours to base our card-making around so there should be a fab variety of hues and tones to get us creating. We hope you'll enjoy the idea and feel inspired to join in with us.

Fran is kicking off this new series in style with a fab inspiration photo and colour palette

We're really looking forward to seeing what you create using these wonderful colours, so please come back and leave your link (and a comment would be nice too) when you are ready to share.

Here's how the DT used this colour palette for our crafting this week

Spots & Stripes

Thank you to everyone who joined in Fran's 'Nordic Christmas' dare last week. We enjoyed visiting all your blogs and viewing such wonderful projects.

Well, it's Keilly here and my turn to set the dare this week, which is

Spots and Stripes

Whether its a last minute Christmas card or a birthday card, we're looking forward to seeing what you create so please come and leave a link (and a message) when you're ready to share with us.

* We'll be taking a little break over the Christmas holidays so this dare will stay open a little longer until January 6th with our first dare for 2012 *

We'd like to wish all our followers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

A Nordic Christmas

Hi everyone, it's Fran here, and before I tell you about this week's Dare, we'd like to thank all of you who joined in with December's Flower of the Month Dare - such lovely projects on show.

Now onto the challenge! Taking inspiration from the photo above, I'd like you to create cards / projects with a Nordic Theme this week - think knitted jumpers, reindeer and lots of red and white!

We can't wait to see what you create!
