Morning all! It's Nat here bringing you this week's challenge, but before I get into the finer details, we'd like to thank everyone who played along in last week's sky-themed challenge! This week, skies of a more wintry variety may be on the agenda, because in 5 months time we will be celebrating Boxing Day, enjoying a round of left-overs, and managing to survive on festive nibbles.... If you want to get ahead with your Christmas cards and be done in good time before December, this challenge could be the perfect opportunity. I know Christmas won't be on everyone's agenda, but you can still pla ..read more

Happy Friday! It's Shabneez here and I wanted to thank those of you that joined in with the challenge last week.   The Sky’s The Limit This time I'd love to see your creations featuring the sky, whether day, night, sunrise or sunset. Maybe a scene with flying 'things' eg. balloons, birds, planes, or insects... Or perhaps you'll make a deep space themed card. Or with 'Christmas in July' in mind how about a snowy sky?   Helen    Kathy    Nat Shabneez Here's this week's cover: You are invited to the Inlinkz link party! Click here to ent ..read more

Yes, the seaside!  (Image source) Choose 3 elements from the image to interpret on your card (remember the colours count as one element) and share your wonderful creations with us ..read more

Hello Cardmakers,  thanks for joining us last week, we loved seeing all the takes on the letter M!  Showers and Flowers It’s Joanne here with this week’s challenge. It seems to have done nothing but rain here in the UK for weeks! That does mean that everything in the garden is doing well so this week I’d like to see you being inspired by showers and/or flowers. Your card might represent rain or use a technique that involves spraying water, it might be floral — extra brownie points if both showers and flowers get a look in! Here's some inspiration from the design t ..read more
