  • Be inspired by lego!
  • This could be small coloured pieces to make up your background or mosaics or something else you can come up with.

There's your challenge! 

We don't have a sponsor this month, but I will send a prize to our winner.

April challenge

 We hope you enjoyed your trip to the sea last month. 

Now for something completely different.


This is a gothic cathedral in Mexico. I'm sure you will agree it is very pretty.

Your challenge this month is inspired by the shapes. so we want you to

  use 5 florals and at least 5 circles.

It's a good change to dig into the scraps and use some of those smaller pieces.

Our sponsor this month is



Our winner for March is Sharon Bishop. Congratulations!

March Challenge

 The year is going by fast or am I just getting old? Here it is March already!




I found these pictures of a whale building in Oklahoma and thought straight away of a Sea themed month. 

Leslie is visiting this later in the year so she can report back on it.  

So, your challenge this month is to include a whale or sea theme on your layout, card etc.

We are sponsored generously by Mystical Scrapbooks.



As usual our Design team have been busy coming up with examples for you but here's two of mine.


These beluga whales were in Vancouver aquarium and have since been freed because the animal rights people said it was cruel to keep them. 


Later on, during that same trip we cruised around Alaska and spotted these whales in the sea just near Glacier Bay.

February challenge

 


Can you guess what colour we are featuring this month?

Our challenge this month is to USE PINK AND A HEART.

You may use a minor amount of other colours, but PINK must be predominated. 

You need to have both to qualify. With Valentine's Day coming up this should be an easy one. 

Here's the prize you can win if you're in Australia or New Zealand.


Once again, it was donated by Mary Bennetts. 

Our Design Team have once again been busy creating these ideas.

January Challenge 2023

 Happy New Year 2023!!!!!!

People keep asking so here is the link to where you enter.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/627040677839553

You need to ask to join the group to enter.

Now on to our Challenge for January.


Use this sketch and include some kind of building on your layout or card. (Both components are necessary.)

Here's my example to get you started. 


My building is the coffee shop, so it doesn't have to be anything grandiose, so long as it qualifies as a building. (Doghouse, chicken shed etc all qualify) 


Our prize for this month is a selection of goodies from Mary Bennetts , yet again.


Now here's some ideas from our Design Team.
