I would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to photographer Les Arnot who allowed me to select this photo. Les is a superb photographer who has a vast portfolio of amazing images.  Please visit his Facebook and website pages to see his daily images.  (He's also a great guitarist).

Challenge 11 - A Touch Of Green

As the months progress, and we head towards Easter in a couple of weeks, the greys and browns of winter are now giving way to the greenery of new life in our gardens and parks, little shoots here and there....so let natures most common colour inspire us with an unending variation of the shades of green.

This week we thought we'd open up the theme a little, a touch of green doesn't just have to be about plants, make a project that has a touch of green (without being 'overly' green of course).  I would like to encourage you to have a go at something like a canvas, materials, journals, altered art as well as cards and tags.

Our brilliant DT members work wonders every week.

Challenge 10 - Girly Theme

As Sunday 10th March is Mother's Day here in the UK, to keep matters a little more open we thought we'd encapsulate the day with a general girly theme as sadly not all of us still have our Mother's with us.

Take a look at our Design Team's projects to give you some inspiration, visit their Blogs to see how they have made their individual items and leave your comments.

I would also like to encourage the use of alternative items, altered pieces, a journal or scrapbook page dedicated to a girly theme.

Please ensure that your entry is a finished project and meets the theme.

Challenge 9 - Alter It

This week, we'd like you to do exactly what it says on the tin, or box, or frame....etc etc...OK, not the best lead in in history but I try heh heh.

Altered pieces are becoming more and more popular with everyday crafters and mixed media artists alike, we just like to encourage people to experiment and think outside the box (or tin, or cardboard tub etc etc...there I go again lol).

So get your thinking caps on (yes, we'd accept an altered cap too), and let's get those old frames or unused item and colour it up, stamp it up....alter it.  Your entry must be a finished piece and evident that it has been altered to a distinct degree (basically, something like sticking a ribbon on an old cardboard tube won't be accepted heh heh).

Now what can I say? (a lot I hear you reply...get on with it)....but our ever talented Design Team never cease to amaze me. We're so lucky to have such talent with us.
