All in one! Challenge 13

Its thawing! Did you hear me? Its thawing! At last the snow is going - hooray!!! Do you think I'm pleased? Just need the 5" of solid ice on our road to thaw too.

So enough of the weather you say ;)) Thank you to everyone who entered last week. There were some GORJUSS cards to look at. So I cranked up the Random Picky Thing and he picked Sandra! I loved that image you used.

So onto this weeks challenge. Our DT teamie Sarah came up the the theme of monotone - as in one colour of your choice. See how kind I am I let you choose your own colour!

This week we're sponsored by Jill from The Hobby House (A super shop which has everything you could wish for and then some!) Now if I was one of these clever sorts I'd take a photo of them and make them look even more lovely..... however I'm not! Trust me they are lush! So much so I had to buy some for myself. The good thing about them (apart from them being lush) is that they are clear so you can colour them to match your work. A quick lick of a Copic or a Sharpie and your're away.

Right enough waffle... here's what the DT have made.












So there you go! Aren't they fab? I think it really shows just what you can do with shades of one colour.

So remember we've those super brads up for grabs.

Challenge 12 - its a sketch

Well Hi there! Welcome to our new challenge day of Saturdays! Just in case you wondered where we were.

So hands up if you're sick of the snow - yes you can put both hands up if you're really sick of it! I've put mine up twice in fact! We've around 8" - 10" on my drive. I know I shovelled if off yesterday and then it snowed again!

So enough of my whinging, though if you like it I could do you 1,000 words on what I don't like about snow.... no? OK!

Onto the important stuff - last weeks winner. We enjoyed looking at all your lovely thank you cards. Super work and lots of ideas to pinch, er I mean inspire us! Well me anyway. So the Random Picky Thing picjed Angela If you email me yuor details at the Gorjuss email I'll sort you out your prize - the super voucher to spend at Joanna Sheens.

Right so this week I gave the girls a sketch - as always they's come up trumps. You may rotate the sketch if you wish. So here's the sketch


And here is what the girls have done with it.








So wow aren't they super? I think the girls have made a simple little skecth look much better than I ever thought it could. Its fine to add a few flowers or gems - I always want to tweak a little too. Can't beat a good tweak I say ;))

So please enter via Mr Linky (he's had a smack after last week). Link to your card and not your blog or email at totallygorjuss@gmail.com

Thank you! - Challenge 11

Happy New Year!

Now will someone please tell me what day it is? I'm so confused! All these holidays, not that I'm complaining! Just don't ask me about the snow though - grrrr!

So who was the winner of our last challenge? Well RPT picked Cathy! Well done your tag was really pretty.

So what did I ask the girls to do this week? Well we thought how lovely it had been for all of you who came and played with us and decided we'd make you all a thank you card! In a blogging sort of way!

So this week we'd like to see a thank you card from you! This week our challenge has kindly been sponsored by the wonderful Joanna Sheen.

Joanna has kindly donated a £10 voucher! Wow how good is that? Joanna has all the latest must haves in her shop too. Remember its no p and p either! And the delivery is always super quick.

The DT ladies have once again made some beauties - one of them even contains a bar of chocolate, how clever is that?













So aren't they super?

Remember you don't need a Gorjuss Girl to play but if you do you get a double entry to the draw. Any cute girly image is fine. Email entries to totallygorjuss@gmail.com
