Two Weeks - Challenge 113 - Enjoy Life with Oranges and Lemons

Many thanks to Claire our lovely GD for her super challenge last week.  She will choose the sampler pictures and you will be able to see them on the favourites blog as usual.
This week I really feel I should have made a Christmas card as the weather today is sooo bad BUT I did not as it is supposed to still be summer and I know some of you have sunshine. I would like you to create using the theme 'Oranges and Lemons' nice summery colours.  You could choose the fruits of course but I chose the colours - you decide.
As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.
This challenge will stay open two weeks as I am taking a little trip South to see family next week and may not be able to get on the blog.
Here is my card - I really enjoyed making this - not my usual colours at all, hope you like it.

Challenge 112 - Lavender and Lace

Thanks as always for your entries last week - pop over to the favourites blog and see the few but lovely creations.
This week I have a new Guest Designer - Claire - check out her blog to see her fabulous work. Here is what she has to say:
'Hi,  I was so pleased when Cynthia asked me to be a Guest Designer on her challenge. Cynthia's challenge is one of my favourites and I try to enter as often as I can as she has some brilliant ideas and themes. I live in the UK with my hubby, 20 year old son, 2 dogs and parrot. I also work full time for a Mental Health charity and my job can be quite stressful so my little craft room is a real escape for me.

I've always enjoyed crafting of some sort but started paper crafting about 6 years ago and soon after became addicted to rubber stamping. I love trying new techniques, the messier the better. I'm at my happiest tucked away in my craft room getting inky. I've recently got into digi stamps too and I'm really enjoying having a play and trying to use them with some of the inky techniques I love. I only started my blog over Christmas so I'm pretty new to blogging and challenges but I've learnt so much and made lots of new cyber friends.

I hope you enjoy this weeks challenge which is 'Lavender and Lace''

I hope you will all give Claire your support and give the challenge a go this week.
As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.

Challenge 111 - Triple Treasures

Hello crafters - a big thank you for your lovely Art Deco entries last week there are some beauties to be seen over on my favourites blog.
This week I would like you to create a Triple Treasure  using Triple Embossing.
I got my melting pot out this week and enjoyed playing with it so hope you will do the same.  If you don't have a melt pot you can still triple emboss as I am sure you all know already.
As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look.

Next week we have a new GD so hope you will all look forward to seeing her creations.
Here is my card - not as intended at all - but that's the joy of triple embossing.
