#151 Thank You

Julie is hosting today and she would like to see your Thank You creations. You might want to make a remembrance card as it's Armistice Day on 11th November, or just an old fashioned thank you card. Whatever inspires you we want to see it.

Here is how the team have interpreted the theme

Julie

Vania

Josephine

A fairly simple card from me - using a stamp set from a recent magazine and some Sizzix Susan's Garden dies.

Ina

I used the Poppy Die from Memory Box for Remembrance Day and in memory of a friend who served in Vietnam.

Mary

I used a Tatty Twinkle stamp called Just for you and added a thank you peel off to the tag.

Pam

This adorable little image is "Fore You" by Di's Digistamps. This is a very special thank you to the owners of a golf course that my mom and dad were members of for many years.

Marlene

I made this card using a Pink Gem Image. I made this as it is Remembrance Sunday next weekend coloured it with Promarkers

Jenn

I created using kraft cardstock and colored Kaisercraft papers and added a house mouse stamp hand water colored by me and fussy cut

Bec

Bold and bright with this Shine Bright range from Kaisercraft.

Sally

I have used a cutting file from the Silhouette store, Distress Inks, Acrylic paint, a stencil, paper flowers and Hobby Art Butterfly stamps to create my Thank You card.

Kimx

I made my Thank You card using a couple of lovely Hero Arts background stamps and the 'Resist with a Twist' technique.

Maike

I love the critters from Purple Onion Designs and wanted to create a simple card with Cedar the fox that lets the sentiment shine.

#150 Autumn Colours

Jackie is hosting our challenge today and she would love to see anything with warm Autumn colours.

Here is the team’s interpretation of the theme

Jackie

For my "man's card" I used a Sheena Douglas embossing folder, distress inks, gilding wax, a swirl die and some Hunkydory toppers from my stash.

Ina

I bought some gilding flakes at a Craft Show recently and this was the perfect Challenge to use them.

Josephine

I decided to make a Christmas card in autumn shades - red, brown and gold. I die cut the snowflake panel and 'Noel' and mounted them onto red card. The snowflakes are heavy cardboard which I triple-embossed using some Cosmic Shimmer UTE powder.

Vania

I like to create cards in brown colours and I made this one with big pleasure.

I used lace and some flowers in sunny colours .

Maike

I love the many colours of Autumn and have really enjoyed making this card. I used a "Peek-a-boo" window and a very cute image by Tiddly Inks.

Marlene

I have used a Lili of the Valley Stamp, coloured with promarkers and added Ribbon and Pearls

Julie

I have used Hunkydory Santa Paws

Pam

I chose this cute little image from Pink Gem Designs and stitched leaves dies from Lawn Fawn to create my Autumn Colours card.

Kimx

I love the Autumn, with all it's glorious colours so this was an easy challenge for me.

My card has been made using a Kaleidacolor ink pad, Woodware grasses and LOTV sentiment.

Mary

I used a Tatty Twinkle stamp coloured using Promarkers

Sally

For my card I used some papers from Joy Crafts, and a mixture of Creative Expressions stamps for the leaves and sentiment and the pumpkins and lamp post are old stamps by Sheena Douglass.
