Challenge 103 - Pastel Christmas

Brrr!!! Oh my where did winter suddenly come from? Heck we had frost this morning! All rimey white stuff on my car, luckily it went real quick. Eventually the sun peeped out and it was warmish... For me though another 15 or 20 degrees warmer would have been better! I'd be happy if this was winter and summer started again tomorrow!

So thanks to all you Bingo fans who came to play - fun isn't it? So the RPT has done his stuff and he's picked Gina email me with the challenge number in the title line and I'll sort you your prize out.

So what's the challenge this week? Well I've heard that this year we're having a thing called Christmas happening! I mean can this be true? Is it every year? So I reckon one or two
of you might need a few cards just is case it is going to happen ;)) So this week the challenge is Pastel Christmas. This week our sponsor is the lovely girls at Lili of the Valley Some lucky peep is going to be the proud owner of some LOTV rubbah!

Now as always the Gorjussettes have excelled themselves.

Prepare to be inspired!

So there you go - fantastic as always huh?

So we'd love to see what you do for your pastel Christmas - remember that LOTV rubbah might just have your name on it!

As always please follow our simple rules; new stuff only, no back dating, link back to here and link directly to your creation and not your whole blog.

Challenge 101 - Ooh la la!

Bonjour mes amis! I've gone a little bit Francais - well I've just been on holiday to France! I LURVE France. I mean I love America too but the flight.... the traipsing around hauling cases and and luggage, the vile food on the planes, the kid behind you who kicks your seat all the way there.... Whereas the France trip is a drive in the car, hop on the ferry, a nice meal in the restaurant go to bed and wake up and you're there! Of course I'm not including the debate we have over who has the dreaded top bunk! Just for your info this time I got the short straw! Why can't the ladder rungs be more comfy for your feet? So what I'm saying - albeit in my usual round the houses way is that's the story behind this weeks theme... But first you want to know who won last week! Well the RPT picked Kath email me with the challenge number in the title and I'll sort your prize. The lucky commenter is Samantha, email me too ;))

So as i said I've been to France so I fell a little bit Ooh la la! So that's the theme this weeks! Lets have a bit of ooh la la please! This week we're sponsored by Crafters Companion, the lucky winner will get £10 to spend online. A little Birdie tells me that there's something new just around the corner too :))

Now the Gorjussettes went extra Ooh la la! You ready to be inspired?

So are you up for some Ooh la la? There's a prize to tempt you!

Challenge 99 - birds of a feather!

~waves~

Howdy there folks! Have you had a good week? I have ;)) But more of that another time.

Ooh its only anohter two weeks till Strictlys back! Oh and Dancing with the Stars on 'Watch' I shall be glued to the box - obviously it will need to be strong glue! It takes me back to watching dancing on TV when I was small. It still amazes me that they can move their feet so quick without dislocating anything, I mean do those people have double hip joints or something? It does seem to be pretty good for your figure, I might have to take it up!

So who was last weeks lucky winner? The RPT picked Carol please email me with the challenge number in the title.

So on a loose connection to the dancing, bear with me here folks, what's the challenge this week? Well I spotted one of dancers had a beautiful dress with feathery stuff on... that's it I thought! So birds of a feather it is! See I said it was a loose connection ;)) So either a bird, feather or both on your entry please. This week we're sponsored by the lovely girlies from Lili of the Valley

The Gorjussettes just flew straight to it!

Challenge 98 - Nothing square about me

Howdy there! How are y'all? Blimey I went all American for a moment! Whatever brought that on.... Maybe its because I'd just checked the weather forecast for my favourite beach and that's lots of sun! Not what we're expecting over here. Mind you it doesn't help that all the shops seem to be crammed with Christmas stuff already. I mean are we even having one this year???

So thanks to last weeks players - you are all so clever! The RPT has done his stuff and he's picked Lydia Please email me with the challenge number in the title.

Onto this weeks theme, well I'm in a crafting rut I think. All my cards lately are square! So the challenge is nothing square! You may use square mats but the card shape itself cannot be square. Our kind sponsor this week is Simon Say Stamp, the winner will get $10 to spend instore.
