Hello everyone, 

First I'd like to thank everyone for all the fabulous entries into my 'Animal Magic' challenge. I have loved looking at each and every one of them. It was very difficult to chose only three but I managed to pick three favourites in the end. So here goes; my top three in no particular order:

1)  #77 - Rosmarie 

I love this card, especially how some of the rats have been places in the holes. Fabulous design! 

#85 - Emma T.

This is a great project, love how the cat is actually placed on a cats head shaped piece of MDF. Fabulous colours too ! 

#138 - Dee Adams 

I think this is my favourite entry this month! love the colours, the metallic details, the fish and the way the project has been put together. Fantastic ! 

A special mention goes to:

#55 - Sid

These zebra's are adorable ! Love them, great card!

#17 Onionsandpaper

Hi Everyone,  Miriam here.

Firstly I want to thank you all for joining in with the Tea Party challenge.  I really love to see you how you all interpret my theme.  And they certainly cheered me up.

Here are my top 3 of the month:

1. Elle 

I love this so much - it incorporates two of my favourite things - Alice in Wonderland and Tea Parties.  Amazing mixed media project.  Pop over to Elle's blog to look at the full project.

2. Helen

This shows that less can be more.  I love the splash of colour in this journal page.  And the sarcasm in the quote made me chuckle!

3. Jo

I always love Jo's style, and I love everything about this journal page.  The colours are perfect and remind me of a hot summer in the garden, sipping tea.

And the Designer Special Mention this month goes to.....

DSP: Jane

Who doesn't love a shaped card?  This project is perfect for the tea party theme.  The papers remind me of old china and I love how the flowers work so well.  Perfect.

So there you have it - thank you so much to everyone that took the time to join in with the May challenge.

Happy crafting!

Miriam

Fantastic work all around!  Congratulations - your badges will be on their way soon, and we hope you'll display them with pride and don't forget there is still plenty of time to join us in our June Challenge hosted this month by the lovely Rachel with the theme Summer Fields

I am totally inspired by nature and I adore going on walks - especially when the weather is better - that really is where my theme came from. I do hope you can join us in creating something that evokes summer fields in our minds as well as yours! Have fun!

Hello!
For the "summer fields" theme this month I made a double page in my art journal with poppies.
If you want to see more, please hop to my blog!

Jane

 Although it is not officially summer until 20th of this month the last few weeks have felt every bit like summer here in South East England. My grass verge has not be cut since Lockdown started and now looks like miniature summer dandelion fields which inspired my card.

Bye for now,

Good morning and welcome to June. What a fabulous May we had weather wise, and I hope June continues along the same lines. We have many fields and hedgerows around us, and they are looking beautiful with the wild poppies.

Take care and have a happy and safe June x

Ladies at a birthday party

Monika

I'm here with my second inspirational post for our May challenge, 

this time I chose the Birthday Party theme.

I created a birthday card with two beautiful ladies and with a vintage vibe.

If you like it, you can find my tutorial on my blog.

It's Party Time

Good morning and happy Friday, it's Sue here with my second Tea Party piece, and this time it's a card that I made for my Dad's recent 80th birthday. My Dad is like all of us, his body may be getting a bit older, but in his head he's still 21 -  maybe 25 now, so I know he'll appreciate a wacky card.

We were all meant to be in Tenerife to celebrate his birthday, but there's always next year. There are more pictures on my blog so I'd love to see you over there. Thanks very much for looking, and take care xx
