Hi all
Before we start with this weeks challenge. Suzy and myself would like to say goodbye to Fiona who is leaving This Thursday due to time commitments. We have enjoyed working with Fiona and I am sure like us you have appreciated her examples every week, we hope that she has every success with her business and challenge blog. You can go to Fionas blog and leave a message http://magickdiva.blogspot.com/ and check out what she will be up to next..
Our good friend Rosie of http://alteredartandstuff.wordpress.com is stepping into Fionas shoes this week, Thanks Rosie your a star, and you will all meet the new design team member next week. All we will say is we have chosen one of our regular entrants to be our new design team member. Susie and myself are really pleased that she has agreed to join us, and we know that she will bring a lot of talent to the team.
So this weeks challenge is “Colour is my obsession” a quote from Monet . So you can work in your favorite colour or colours or just make something really colourful, We will also accept peices inspired by Monet. Deadline for all entries is 6pm Wednesday night Uk time
The prize this week is
10 sheets of Digital Collage sheet downloads chosen by the winner from this weeks sponsor Patti from Lisas Altered Art The team really enjoyed playing around with the digital collage sheets
a few words from Patty
I have been collecting vintage children’s photos for years now. I have always been drawn to them. When I began collecting I actually had no idea what I would do with them. I just loved having them. I loved visiting antique shops and would literally spend hours flipping through any old photos I found. Some of the images on my collage sheets are not the most beautiful or well dressed children, but for some reason, I found the child familiar, sad, or just in need of a good home.
I studied and passed ‘O’ Level and ‘Higher’ Art at school and had a fairly impressive portfolio, but for reasons I can’t really remember, I did not pursue it any further.
As an adult my attention switched to crochet and I spent many hours in front of the TV armed with nothing more than a hook and a ball of wool. I’m probably responsible for hundreds of babies and dolls being dressed in the frilly, fluffy baby bonnets decorated with rosebuds and ribbons with matching matinee jackets, hooded capes and shawls. Whoops!
My current passion is papercraft and especially cardmaking, although I did dip my toes into the wonders of scrapbooking, by making a ‘Memory Album’ for my parent’s Golden Wedding Anniversary in January this year.
My likes and dislikes change depending on my mood and I wouldn’t be so bold as to attempt to credit myself with a particular style nor indeed talent. Quite liberating really as it gives me freedom to do whatever I feel like at the time, without worrying about getting bored and whilst I achieve varying degrees of success with the end result, I always enjoy the actual process of creating and that’s what’s important.
Like many crafters, I’m very rarely completely satisfied with my own projects and am constantly seeking to improve. I’m always very grateful to all the talented crafters out there who provide such wonderful inspiration, tips and original ideas which I can mix together and see what happens. I can’t imagine my life without crafting of some kind or other … and will keep creating as long as I’m enjoying the journey

Sorry everyone, due to unexpectedly having to go away at the weekend, and going down with a migraine accordingly I haven’t managed this challenge yet. So unless I get home early enough and have some inspiration (which might happen), I will have to pass this time.
Well I have made a quick card, bit rubbish but hope it will do!
Sorry posted wrong link which didn’t work anyway.
Here is my card
ehm….the link to lisasalteredart.com sends to a pornsite…
