February, March & April Winners, Top 3 & DTSM

 Hello everybody!  It's a very late post to announce the February, March & April Winners.  There were some really fabulous entries and we always love seeing what you're inspired to make by each theme.  Are you sitting comfortably?  Then let's begin!

____________

The February winner of the £20 Country View Crafts voucher, selected by Random Generator from the challenge entries is

#20 Paper Crafter At Large

Wow,  everyone certainly rose to my Spring challenge.  And we could tell that there were so many interpretations of the 'Spring' theme. 

So, without further delay, here are my top 3 for February:

Darlene

I adore the pop of colour on Darlene's make.  It reminded me of the excitement and hope of warmer evenings and the colour explosion of flowers as they bloom.

Kati

I love it when my tulips start to bloom.  It's sign that they have made it through another tough season and are looking forward to the coming months, almost hopeful.  Kati's card made me reminded me of hope and sunshine - just beautiful.

Aimslee

Aimslee's beautiful card reminds me of looking out of my office window while working from home.  Aimslee has created a beautiful scene here.

Thank you to all of the Top 3 for cheering my February up.

Designer Special Mention:

Alice 

Alice (ScrAPamondo) blew me away with this card.  Every time I look at it I see more detail.  It reminded me of Spring bursting into the season and the birds looking happy to see it and tweeting a sweet tune.  The detail is divine. I wanted to reach in and touch the card.  Thank you so much for the inspiration Alice.

Tag with French bulldog and Eiffel Tower

 Monika

Hello everyone,

I'm here with my second inspirational project for our May theme:

We will always have Paris.

Well, I made a tag with the Eiffel Tower and a French bulldog.

As usual, I used again Tim Holtz's products for creating this.

You can find the tutorial and the supply list on my blog.

A tag for Paris

 Hello it's Jane here with some more "We'll always have Paris" inspiration. For my first post I made a masterboard and used it to make 4 artist trading cards. I had some leftovers so I used them to make a tag for Paris.

If you would like to see how I put it together take the Eurostar (I wish!) pop on over to my blog here where I am sharing a step by step.

Enjoy the rest of May,

Au revoir, à bientôt!

Haute Couture

 Hello all, it´s Evelyn with my second page this month.

When you hear Paris what are the first things that come in mind?

Champs Elysee, Eiffel tower, Arche de Triumph, .... and - Fashion!

I made a little art journal page with a atelier in which Madame designs dresses for haute couture.

If you want to see, how I put it together, please visit my blog!

Now it´s your turn to make something "Paris" for the challenge! You have plenty of time left!

Thank you for your visit today!

Parisian Café

Hi everyone, it's Jo here.

Today I'm sharing a mini art journal page for this month's We will always have Paris challenge.

 

I had fun using some Andy Skinner products to create this grungy Parisian Café page. To see how it came together and the products that I used, please pop over to my blog Let's Art Journal.

Thanks so much for joining me today, happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x

Paris, encore et toujours!

 Hello crafters, 

I am back to give you more ideas for our Country View Challenge, for which this month, I chose the theme.
This mini album should give you plenty of ideas...

May 2021- We Will Always Have Paris

Welcome to our May challenge! This month's theme, chosen by the lovely Craftyfield is:

We will always have Paris!

She wants you to take her to Paris and show her the sights! But don't worry, if you don't have any Paris themed supplies, you can use anything that says "France". Think fashion, wine, lavender fields of Provence, old adverts etc... Tim Holtz has released a few French inspired stamps, tissue tape and embossing folders over the years so dig dip into your stash! Just make sure that the theme is obvious and not a tiny bit of French script or fleur de Lys lurking in a corner of your make.

Craftyfield
I am thrilled to be hosting the challenge this month with a theme dear to my heart. Yes, the beautiful and romantic city of Paris, so close to British shores but, in these times of travel restrictions, so far...  

Do come by my blog to see how I made my scene with the major landmarks of the "City of Lights"

 Debs

Good morning and welcome to the weekend. For this challenge I thought why use 1 product 
when I could use about 20, so I did!

There are more photographs here on my blog if you would like to see how these came together. Take care and thanks so much for looking x

Corrie

Hello everyone, 
I have made a postcard for this fabulous new challenge and this is it:

You'll find some step by step photos on my blog HERE.

 Monika

Hello everyone,
for our May challenge I created a tag with a little mademoiselle and the Eiffel Tower.
For this tag, I got the inspiration from the Ladurée bakery.

If you like it and if you need a tutorial, please hop on my blog.

Jane

 Happy May! This month's challenge took me back to our 30th wedding anniversary in 2011 when my Hb and I stayed in Paris to celebrate. On our actual anniversary, 25th July, we were at the top of the Eiffel Tower sipping champagne! I made some artist trading card as a reminder.

If you would like to see how I made them and also some photos from that time in Paris, just catch the Eurostar  😂 I mean pop on over to my blog here.

Bye for now,
