Challenge 67 - Love

Howdy there peeps! How's your week been? I hope you've all had a good one, its been a busy one (as usual) here at Caique-Momma Towers! At least the weather seems to have picked up a bit. Now this is unusual for this time of year, its been my birthday this past week, 23 just in case anyone is wondering, and usually the weather is pretty vile. Cold/snowy/wet/icy or a combination of all of them but this time it was sunny and mild! How odd, I think the birds are getting confused too as we have nest wars going on as the doves and pigeons are battling for the penthouse spot in the big conifer! While they're busy doing that Mr and Mrs Blackbird will probably sneak in and take it ;))

So thanks to all of you who came and played with my little sketch last week - you made some super cards with it. In fact so good I had to check it was mine! So I chucked all the names in the RPT and he picked Teresa Email me your details with the challenge number in the title line and I'll sort you your voucher. I mean I'd hate for it to vanish in the middle of my big lottery win emails!

So what would we like this week? Well its almost 'that' time of year again (no I don't mean summer!) Valentines is almost here! Yipes so we'd like to see some love on your cards, it can be hearts, the word love or a card for someone you love - we want to see them! This week we're kindly sponsored by Crafters Companion, the lucky winner will receive a voucher for £10 to spend in their super stocked on line store( Pssst they've new stamps just in!)

So without further ado here is the inspiration from the Gorjussettes;

Challenge 66 - its a sketch

Wow! Its so windy here! Apparently we're forecast to get winds over 100mph tonight.... I'd best make sure the hatches are battened down! In other words try and wedge the recycling bin back under the patio table and wedge the dustbin in too! I love to start the day picking up rubbish off the garden! Especially when its lashing it down with rain! Which incidentally is hammering against the window! Oh roll on summer. Mind you it could be worse, what about those poor folks in Australia! I hope anyone you know out there is safe.

So last week! What can I say other than WOW!!! Thank you so so much to everyone who came to play - it makes all that the Gorjussettes and myself do really worthwhile. The Random Picky Thing wasn't quite so keen when I piled in all the names! He really chugged and groaned but when I threatened him with a pokey thing he soon revved up and gave me a name ;)) He picked Donna Send me your details Donna with the challenge number in the title line and that ribbon will be on its way to you.

So what do we have for you this week? Well this week its a sketch, nice and easy (I did it so its got to be easy!) We're sponsored by the super stocked Joanna Sheen! the lucky winner will receive £10 to spend in Joannas online store, with free p and p to boot! Joanna stocks... well everything!

So enough from me, here's the sketch....

Here's what the Gorjussettes did with it - they made it look much better than I did!

Hey in my world that seems perfectly logical... can you remember my hair colour? Yup.... blonde! Well its decidedly chilly here again, at least there's none of that nasty white stuff, cold is nasty but better than that.

So HUGE thanks to all of you who came to play and made us feel hot! I needed shades on when I checked out some of the entries - thanks so much for sharing them with us. So who did the RPT pick?

So what would the Gorjussettes and me like from you this week? Well what with me being all heart..... I thought someone nice and easy... OK they're all easy but super easy!

Challenge 64 - hot hot hot!

Howdy there folks! All I can say is BRRR!!! Well you know me and you know I can say a lot more than that! We've had some lovely sunny days this week but its been cold! Still I'd rather that than that nasty white stuff or the wet stuff. Bring on the sun I say, ideally about 70 or 75 degrees warmer too..... Oh the feel of the sun, cool drink in your hand soft white sand and warm sea.... Ooh I felt a cold draught then - that snapped me out of my dream!

Well a big thank you from me and the Gorjussettes for all those cuddles last week! How lovely. The Random Picky Thing worked hard on all the names, he chugged a bit and picked Nana email me your details and include the challenge number in the title please.

So this week to add to our sunshine, I hope you have it too. Unless of course you actually like rain and snow.... odd but I know my friend does.... We'd like to see something hot on your card! So lets see those hot colours! This week we're kindly sponsored by Crafters Companion The lucky winner will receive £10 to spend in their on line store - they definitely have something for everyone!

Challenge 63 - Cuddly!

Wayhey there folks! I'm guessing you're all settled into 2011 by now? So did you all make some resolutions for the New Year? You know all the usual culprits like a diet, less stash shopping (very drastic in my opinion!), resolve to be tidier in your craft areas (another impossible one for me!) Now you'll all be impressed to hear that I've made the same resolution that I've had for a couple of years. Now I can say hand on my heart that I've stuck solidly to this resolution. Mine is not to eat any tripe or cow heel! And yes not one piece has crossed my lips. Oh for you oversees readers Google it for images - you'll see why it was so easy to avoid!

So who won last weeks challenge? The winner of the voucher for £10 at Joanna Sheens is Teri Email me you details with the challenge number in the title and I'll sort your voucher for you.

So this week I'm thrilled to introduce a new sponsor to Totally Gorjuss - drum roll please for Simon Says Stamp!

The winner will receive $10 to spend in store. Oh and trust me when I say their shop is fantastic, you'll be spoilt for choice ;)) I mean there's only 100,000 things to choose from.... So what would we like this week? Well having had one of those weeks (again and its only early in the year!) I thought cuddly! We'd like something cuddly on your entry!

Oh and more news we're joined by a new Guest Gorjussette - please give a TG welcome to Alberto.

Challenge 62 - its a sketch

Well howdy doody! And a great big Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you've all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year. I trust Santa was good to you? Well he brought me a very unexpected 'present'....pneumonia! I can say for sure THAT wasn't on my list! I almost needed a bank loan at the chemist when I collected my consignment of drugs! The bit which made me laugh, and in turn cough and almost pass out, was the way people moved away from me when I collected my haul! I then thought what a lot of stash it would have got me! Still I'm all better now. I hope none of you had such a 'different' time!

So many thanks to you all you shared your special entries with us - they were fabulous! The RPT almost blew a gasket at the names... still after a bit of prodding he picked Pauline C email me your details and include the challenge number and you'll get your prize.

So whats the first challenge going to be? Well this week its a sketch (easy of course because I did it!) Our sponsor is the super stocked Joanna Sheen the lucky winner will receive a voucher for £10 spend at Joanna's online store.You will be spoilt for choice, its full of everything from crafting essentials, up to date must haves and a super special offer section!

Also this week we new Guest Gorjussettes! I know you'll welcome them and love their work too.
