Always Autumn/Forever Fall

Hello everyone!
Its Dawn here with this weeks challenge but first I would like to thank everyone that joined in last week with the "Take a Break" theme from Miri.

I love this time of year as the season changes and all the months that end in "BER".  The colours are just beautiful and I love to get all cosy at home.  So this week I would like to see your cosy autumn inspired projects.

Always Autumn/Forever Fall

We can't wait to see what you create and happy crafting.

Take a break!

 
Thanks for your collage cards!
It’s Miri here and I have a new topic for you:
Take a break!
I guess that most of us are back to everyday life after summer. And now let's not forget to take breaks regularly. Show us on your card what "taking a break" means for you: a cup of tea/coffee, a nap, a walk in nature, taking a sun bath, crafting etc.
Here is some inspiration from the design team: 
 
 I'm just one coffee away from being in a good mood!

September Elemental Inspiration

Good morning!

Well, it's hard to believe but we've rolled over into a brand-new month!

So that means a new elemental inspiration challenge.

But first, thank you to everyone who played along with Shabneez's butterfly bonanza last week!

As we're moving into the last throes of summer, I've picked an image that will work with autumnal elements but also still has plenty of scope to keep that summery feeling living on!

Here's hoping we still see some splendid summer days in September. I'm not yet ready to get the heating on or put away my summer wardrobe.

~~~

Pick at least 3 elements from this image to interpret on your card (remember colours count collectively as one element) and enjoy some crafty time!

Here's what the design team came up with:

Billions of Butterflies

Happy Friday!

It's Shabneez here and on behalf of the rest of the Design Team, I'd like to thank those of you who took part in the pearl challenge last week.  

This week I am challenging you to use butterflies on your cards.  

I don't think I've seen as many butterflies this summer in the garden before.  I'm a huge fan of butterflies and I'd love to see them on your cards - the more, the merrier!

If you're anything like me, you'll use them to add interest to your cards or as a focal point.  

You can see lots more inspiration by the Design Team below:

Pearl

 hello Lovely Cardmakers!

Here we are at another Friday, saying  "Thank You" to those who joined in with us last week, and hoping this new challenge will inspire you!

Pearl

A couple of weeks ago Hubby and I (Kathy) celebrated our 30th (Pearl) Anniversary - wow, where did that time go?

So this week I'd like you to use the word 'PEARL' for your inspiration.
I had a think and came up with a few ideas; using flat-backed pearls, pearl strings, pearl buttons, creating backgrounds with pearlescent paints, mousse or card, Mosaics with pieces of abalone (Mother of Pearl) shell, 

But I'm sure you can think of more and I can't wait to see your ideas

Have fun!

All Taped Up

Hello Cardmakers, 
thanks for joining us in our exploration of the many and varied elements of last week’s inspiration picture, it’s always great to see the different takes on it!
 
All Taped Up
Joanne here again this week, and today I’d like you to use some sort of tape as you create your masterpiece. 
It might be decorative washi, a technique such as faux leather with masking tape, dry wall tape as a stencil — there are loads of different types of tape and lots of crafty possibilities. 
Show us your creative take on tape!
