Blog Challenge Winner and a New Colour Challenge

Well I cannot believe it is 2 weeks since I set the last colour challenge, where does the time go.... I have also decided not to pick my favourite card, I didn't realise that this would be impossible as all the entries were so good, so have decided to let Random.Org pick the winner.... and here is the winner, I didn't include my entry in the picking so just entered numbers 2-5 and the winner is......... ta dah!!!!

Here are your random numbers:4

and that is Carol....

Woohoo, well done Carol.

There will be a little something winging its way to you as soon as you send me your address.... to LindaLloyd@gmx.net.

And on to this fortnight's Challenge....

Whilst blog hopping one day I came across a card using these colours but in typical Linda fashion I jotted down the colours but not the blog address so cannot show you the card... but I have made one on time this week to show you and here it is....


All stash is Stampin' Up!, the Stamp Set is Autumn Days and I must admit this is the first time I have inked it up despite having it since before Christmas. The Patterned Paper is the More Mustard from the Hostess Level 1 Set of Patterned Paper, and the Perfect Plum Patterned Paper Pack. The flowers were made using the Scallop Circle Punch and Boho Blossoms Punch and oooops must admit sneaking in a Martha Stewart leaves punch too.... the Ribbon is Very Vanilla Grosgrain but I inked that with Really Rust as well as the edges of all the cardstock I used.

And do you think the pheasant is inked wonderfully.... well I am going to do a video tutorial to show you how this was done which will be up on my blog either Wednesday or Thursday, so keep checking back to see how this works....

And the above photo is the inside of my card, have taken to decorating the insides again this week..... lol

I look forward to seeing your entries during the next fortnight and again there will be a little something on its way to the winner.... unfortunately I can only ship the prize to UK and Europe but would still love to see International entries...

Have a great day all xx

MoJo Monday Challenge

I thought I would try entering a challenge a day, well we shall see how we go.... so todays challenge is the MoJo Monday Challenge and you can find it here.

I used Rose Red Patterned Paper and the new To The Nines Speciality Patterned Paper both from Stampin' Up!, Chocolate Chip, Rose Red and Sage Shadow Cardstock and Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon. The sentiments were both computer generated and the little flowers were cut in Sage Shadow Cardstock with the Boho Blossoms Punch. Hope you like it..

Cya soon xx

3 New Cards

I have 3 new cards to show you today... I have been really busy making 70 Christmas Cards for my 2 little boys to write for their friends at school, plus I am making 30 boxes for Saturday and haven't even started yet.... lol

Patterned paper is from stash, flowers are made using 2 of the Stampin' Up! Punches, 5 Petal Flower and BoHo Blossomes, Cardstock is Night of Navy and Whisper White from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is from Verve Stamps.

Stampin' Up! Old Olive Cardstock, Summer Sun and Whisper White. Ribbon is Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Up! Ribbon. Isn't it wonderful how it all matches each other.

Stampin' Up! Bravo Burgundy and Whisper White Cardstock. A Tree For All Seasons Stampin' Up! Stamp Set and the sentiment is Computer Generated.

Will post a photo of my 70 Christmas Cards tomorrow, plus have 2 other projects I have been working on that I cannot post yet as I dont want people to see them until they receive them.

My Christmas Shopping that I did on Sunday is starting to turn up today, really pleased as that is another thing out of the way, just need to check now who else I need to buy for and to get on with the making of the gifts that I am making. And bigger bonus, my little boy's birthday present turned up today, was worried it wouldn't arrive in time for Saturday as he will be 7 then... just need to get around to making him a card now...

Have a great evening all, take care xx
