Challenge 179 - Spring shades

Oooh!!!!!

Have you ever had those moments where you feel rather smug thinking you've got ahead?.... only then you discover that actually you haven't?  Kind of what happened to me this week.  Started when I had no electricity on my big cooking day... finally got to bed at 4am and was back up at 6am.... it went even worse after that!

Still here we are eventually!

Thanks to our players form last week - the RPT has done his stuff and he's chosen Lindsay as our winner.  Please email me with the challenge number in the title line.

So this weeks challenge was going to be lovely and appropriate (or so I thought when I chose it!)  The theme being Spring Shades you know those lovely gentle shades of early spring...so looking at our current weather all shades of grey are accepted    Our fabulous sponsor is Crafters Companion, a lucky winner will get £10 for some online treatage.

As always the Gorjussettes have some inspiration for you;

Challenge 177 - something blue

Well its still pretty BRRRR!!!!! here I have to say :(  We've still got far too much snow on our garden and to think a short while ago the birds in the garden were singing songs of lurve!  I think lurve has wisely gone on the back burner!  So please remember to put them out lots of food and water.  Though I was surprised to see Mr Blackbird having a very splashy bath....  I had to put a coat on to go outside!

Now two pieces of news - this week we're saying goodbye to Marianne - good luck round blogland Marianne!  And the good news is that Anke, Christine and Kat W are now full time Gorjussettes!

So thanks to the borrowers from last week - you made some beautiful things - thank you for sharing.  I dug the RPT out from under a blanket and fired him up - he picked Dunja as our winner.  Please email me with the challenge number in the title line.

So on to this weeks challenge, this week its 'Something Blue'  see easy huh?  Though I have to say one of the DT got it completely wrong and made a pink card....  I mean who could be so silly..... ~whistles~

This week we're on a double whammy winner week!  Our sponsors this week are the super stocked Quixotic Papetrie   One lucky winner will get £10 for some online treats - fab huh?  Then our second sponsor is the wonderful Bugaboo Stamps  That lucky winner will get to choose themselves some digital delights!  Good huh?   Some of the Gorjussettes have used some Bugaboo Images...  So if you're ready I'll share...




























So there you go no reason at all for you to feel blue - get your blues out and join in!  Remember its a double whammy winner week!

As always remember the roolz!

Here we go again!  Yes that's just what I said yesterday morning when I got up and saw snow.... quite a lot of snow.... this morning we have even more snow.... lots and lots of snow!  I mean come on weather its supposed to be spring!  I know that for a fact as my two daffodils are peeping through.  I reckon they're actually regretting that now though!

So thanks to all of you who came to play last week - lovely creations as always.  The RPT has done his stuff and he's picked Anita  Please email me with the challenge number in the title line.

So onto this weeks challenge, this week we want you to use something borrowed on your creation.  Now this made be an item or idea you've borrowed, something normally used in another way... get the drift?  Appropriate with the snow eh?  Our kind sponsor this week are those fabulous Ribbon Girls!  One lucky winner will get £10 to spend on some loveliness..... I may enter.....;)
