Challenge 30 - round and round

Hi there reader. Ok who has stolen spring? I mean come on we've had frost the last few mornings. and I DON'T LIKE IT! Its supposed to be spring after all. Oh no I've just had a worrying thought.... has summer happened and I missed it! Or have they swapped the sequence of the seasons??? Whatever it is its rubbish.

So big thanks to you all who came to play last week - you are a clever lot. There were some beautiful submissions. Thank you for sharing them with us.

So the winner of last weeks challenge is Lizzy. Well done! Email me at the gorjuss email and I'll get the prize on its way to you.

So this weeks challenge is 'round and round' I was sat thinking up new challenges and this one kind of went round and round in my head.... so there it is! We'd like to see circles on your submissions please. It can either be a round card or something round on it please. The prize sponsor this week is from Meyer Imports - they have the most fantastic German glass glitters and fibres you can think of!

As usual the Gorjussettes have made some fantastic samples to inspire you.

Challenge 29 - pink and green

Hi there! OK who stole the whole of summer? I mean surely those two days weren't all we're having? Its been absolutely perishing here today! A lazy wind, you know the sort that goes straight through you its so cold. So I do hope you're having a better time of it than here.

Thanks to all who came to play last week, you made some wonderful things! Some of you are very talented in the stitching department. So who did the random picky thing pick? He picked Bella! Email me please and I'll sort out your prize.

So what is the challenge this week? Well we thought we'd brighten things up a bit and have a colour challenge. Something nice and cheerful - pink and green it is then! The prize this week is a lovely paper pad from the super talented Stephanie (I'll try and pop a photo up when I've time)

So what have the Gorjussettes done? Made some beautiful cards that's what!








Debs



So cute huh? Do they make you feel a bit more summery? Well at least until you look out of the window anyway!

So we'd love to see your pink and green combinations.

Challenge 28 - in stitches

Yooohooooo!

OK fess up! Who stole most of the week? I mean one second it was Saturday and now its Saturday again! What happened to the time in between? When I do find out who has it.... well I shan't be pleased. I mean it has nothing to do with three games of golf does it? Nor the copious amounts of cakes I've made either..... Well perhaps it might do just a smidgen ;))

So thanks to all who came to play Gorjuss with us last week. You did some gorgeous things with those Gorjuss Girl stamps you clever lot - the Gorjussettes and me were uber impressed. So to the lucky winner, well the Random Picky Thing did his usual moaning and groaning but eventually he chose Debs Well done Debs your little pink GG was a treat! Email me at the TG email and I'll sort your prize for you.

So onto this weeks challenge. Now you know me - not literally but I like a laugh so I want you in stitches this week. Yup I'd like some stitchery on your cards. Now again me being me if can be real stitching if you're clever or it can be fake if you're like me! So real or not we'd like to see what you do please. This week we're sponsored by the lovely Joanna Sheen. The lucky winner will receive a £10 voucher for her shop - and there's no p and p either ;))

Let me show you what the Gorjussettes have done - they're super duper!












So wow huh?

Pretty darn fab I reckon. So the Gorjussettes and me would love to see what you do. Remember real or pretend stitches are just fine so get those needles, or if you're like me, pens out!

Howdy!

Well have you had the mixed weather we've had? Warm, cold, warm, windy, cold, sunny, cloudy and all within an hour! Mind you this volcano ash thing - how awful for those waiting to go away or meet up with loved ones. If you're waiting to go I hope you get away soon.

So massive thanks again to all who played last week - we tried to get round you all. I had some mega blogger problems. I could look but he wouldn't let me comment for some reason. Anyway thanks to you all. So I cranked up the Random Picky Thing and tossed in all the names (it took ages incidentally ;)) So after he gurgled and chugged he through out a name which was Linda! If you email me your details and the challenge number I can get your prize on its way to you.

So what did I ask the Gorjussettes to do this week? Well I think they're charming.... stay with me folks.... so I wanted charms on their cards. As always they've proved that they're really charming! I'm splitting me sides here! Are you?..... Oh..... This week we're again sponsored by Crafters Companion with a fabby £10 voucher - there are some super things on there - can I enter?

Enough from me, so in no particular order here is are some-things the Gorjussettes prepared earlier.

Well I threw the names into the Random Picky Thing, who doesn't grumble now (he knows its not worth it) and he purred, now that's a first, and he gently slid out Lindsey Now I'm not sure how she got in there myself.... but send me your details and you can get your voucher.

So onto this weeks challenge - are you all still awake? Well this week we're again sponsored by Meyer Imports (who have the most lushest glitters and stuff) so I asked the Gorjussettes for some texture on their cards. As usual they've done a super job.
