Challenge 39 - Thinking of you

Hi there reader! OK come on confess who stole summer? Come on someone has! Oh and just to make matters worse, as if that could happen with rain/thunder/wind/chill etc it only went and rained on St Swithins day! So that's another 40 days of rain to look forward to then.... Well at least my Busy Lizzies like it!

So thanks to you all who shared your lovely creations with us last week, I almost needed to wear a Mac! There was water everywhere. I didn't realise just how many images there are that have a watery connection. The winner as selected by the RPT is Glenda! Please email me your details and I'll arrange your prize.

So this week I started to think.... hard I know. The little cell rattled all on its lonesome. So as I was thinking I thought Eureka! Thinking of you is this weeks theme - kindly sponsored by Crafters Companion and is for a £10 voucher of spends in the shop!

Now I know lots of people think of a 'thinking of you' as a sympathy card. I think (there I go again thinking) that it can be for a number of reasons. I like to put that kind of sentiment on a 'get well' card, or if you just want to let a friend know they're in your thoughts and you want to say hello. So we'd love to see how you interpret the theme.

The Gorjussettes have made some super cards to share.

So wow huh? You see 'thinking of you' covers wide range of things.

We'd love to see what you think! Oh get me a comedian huh? Remember there's a prize from Crafters Companion for the winner.

Please enter via our friend Mr Linky, when he's behaving anyway, and link to your entry and not your blog.

Challenge 38 - water water!

Summmerrr timmmmeee and the livin' is eassssyyyyy, Yay! Sorry for the singing there folks but hey its summer! I mean we've not had one for years! Or is just that it seems that way? I know we could do with a drop of the wet stuff...(more of that later) but if that could just come at night time... OK?

So thanks for your lovely interpretations of my little sketch - they were super! You certainly made it look lovely. So I cranked up the RPT and who did he pick? He picked Lindyloos Email me your details and I'll sort your prize out for you.

So onto this weeks challenge. After my little reference to wet stuff as in the 'R' word I'd like to see water on your card! Now that can be in whatever way you want! As long as there's something to do with the wet stuff ;)) This week the prize is a fabby paper pad.

Now I'd also like to introduce our two new Guest Gorjussettes! Please welcome the ever so fab-u-lous Mary J and Nina! I'm sure you'll welcome them both. Their work is just fantastic!

So here's the inspiration

Challenge 37 - a sketch

Howdy there peeps! Isn't the weather fantastic??? Well OK I know the grounds dry and some are saying its TOO hot (not me!), and the gardens dry and the grass is going brown... but hey I'm getting my tan going nicely here folks! Plus the last couple of summer's have been a er... tad on the wet side shall we say? Well I think us Brits are never happy unless we're complaining about the weather are we? Gives us something to talk about I suppose.

So thanks to those who played last week, there were some lovely bags. I hope we inspired you. Oh the ones you were going to mail me full of stash aren't here yet.... Should I be holding my breath?....;)) So was the winner? Well the RPT picked Annie! Email me your details Annie and I'll get your prize sorted as soon as I can.

So onto this weeks challenge, its a nice easy little sketch. Now remember when I do them I can only do simple! Its gets too complicated for me in paint or draw or whatever the programme I do them in is called. This week we're sponsored by the lovely Joanna Sheen A source of everything the crafter needs, a fabby shop and no p and p either!

So here is the sketch - told you it was simple!


And here's the inspiration by the Gorjussettes.

So enough football talk. Lets get onto important stuff! Our last challenge - big thanks to all who came and played - super super super makes. Thanks so much!

I chucked all the names in the RPT and he obligingly picked Christi Email me your details and I'll sort your prize out.

So what's this weeks challenge? Well I thought you all needed a challenge :0)) So I thought and I thought and then thought a bit more.... then I looked at the bags on my desk.... and thought.... Gift Bag! I'd like you to make a nice little gift bag for me. I mean if you want to put me a present in it and send it to me....No? Sure?...Oh well I tried.... ~sighs~ This week we're sponsored by Tracy at Dies to Die For - a little birdie tells me she's got some new lovelies in....

So the Gorjussettes have come up trumps again.

Yo!

Howdy there peeps! Well firstly who came and stole the week? Again?? I mean we've, well me am suffering a repeat offender here. I mean one minute its Saturday and then in the blink of an eye its Saturday again! Only thing is what happened to all the days in between? I mean someone must have seen them surely? Just not me! Its not my age honestly.... I'm 23 for goodness sake.... ~whistles~

Enough of my age! So mahoosive thanks to all who came and played last week! There were some fabulous makes! And people say they don't like making cards for the men in their lives! No reason to say that at all - You all deserve a prize! Sadly though there's only one ;(( So who did the RPT pick? Well he stuttered a bit with all those names but he picked Distressed Miss Fabby name! Email me your details and I'll sort your prize for you.

So this weeks challenge is Sugar and Spice and is sponsored by Crafters Companion - you'll find everything you need there, oh and some things you didn't know you needed but you'll find that you do! The winner will receive a £10 voucher for spends in their on-line store.

Going to play?

Wanna know how?

Easy!

Make your sugar and spice card, pop it on your blog (and link to your card/work and not your blog).

A couple of little rules though, please new work only, don't use something you've already blogged. Its not fair to people who've made new stuff and you won't go in the draw for the prize. Oh and to make commenting easier please turn word verification off, if you're worried about spam comments set your blog for owner approval please.

Oh and if Mr Linky runs away again please check back - I'll be after him with a BIG stick!

Challenge 34 - for the boys

Howdy there peeps!

OK 'fess up who stole the sun huh? Come on who thought that wall to wall rain was a good replacement for sun? Huh? Huh? Not me! On a good point, if there is one with rain, it made planting my new apple trees easier. It meant I could dig soil as opposed to it being like concrete - the 'joy' of clay soil.

Still enough of my whinging! Thanks to all who came and played with my little old sketch! You all interpreted it beautifully! Thank you so much! So who has the Random Picky Thing picked? Well he's picked Jackie Well done Jackie. Please email me your details at the Gorjuss email.

So what treat do we have for you this week? Well the clues in the name.... yes its everyone's favourite. A card for a boy/man/chap/fella/hombre/Herr/señor or a male if you prefer ;)) Now the Gorjussettes were thrilled when I told them...... well maybe not exactly thrilled... but when I saw what they'd made I was! The inspiration is just stunning! I'm sure you'll be inspired too. Just to encourage you further this week we have a new sponsor - Fantastic Ribbons and boy do they have beautiful ribbons! Well worth a look, great selection, great service and great ribbon. What more do you need?

So here you go.

Challenge 33 - its a sketch!

Howdy! Well the sun had his hat on here today, well technically yesterday but its still today because I've not been to bed yet.... confused? I am and I'm writing it! Well a beautiful sunny day here, its going to change apparently though. So I'm making the most of it while its here.

It seems lots of you had a wee bit of play time last week, many thanks to all who entered and showed us your wings. There were some beauties! I know I enjoyed looking and so did the Gorjussettes. Its really nice to see how the same theme is interpreted in different ways.

So who was last weeks winner? Well the random picky thing picked Penni - please email me your details.

So onto this weeks challenge. Its a little old sketch! Well actually the size can be whatever you want and its not old because I've only just drawn it.... but you get what I mean ;))

Anyways the Gorjussettes have made some super cards to inspire you. To inspire you even more this week we have a £10 voucher as a prize from the craft shopping haven that is Joanna Sheen How fabulous is that? Yup that's right its fabulous! So what will you do with the sketch? You can rotate it, twist it etc but show us what you do!

So here's the sketch....
