    Oh wow I won!!:D

    Thank you to Melissa for setting the challenge and Brandon for picking me, and everyone else for your congratulations. LOL - sounds like an Oscar acceptance speech.

    I'm going to go away and have a little think about the next challenge, will report back later with some details. I've never hosted a challenge before, so hope I don't mess it up!

    Too much :rotfl:the christmas goody bag, summer in bloom and silent night papers and ribbons, born to shop papers and cardstock stickers, a hot foil kit and a few other bits and pieces :eek:

    Ooh i'm going to get the hot foil kit when I pop into the Range this week! We went to the Art Stamps show at Newbury Racecourse and they were demonstrating a hot foil machine but it was expensive so thought i'd try the new Papermania range as an alternative.

    The Wife well done on walking 5k - how long did it take you?

    Finally started having a play with my Craft Robo to make by GDT card and loving it :D x

    Well nice day today, sun was out but I was busy packing!! 15 kg seemed alot but even though I am not taking much, there won't be much space for shopping. I'm off to Marrakech tomorrow afternoon! Thanks again to Mad-Frog for the book, I will make good use of it!!!

    andymandy - lovely pencil bags, they look great.
    Congrats to WBR!!

    I've tried to catch up on the blogs by commenting on something on everyone's blog but I am not up to date and now I will be away until Sunday so will have no chance!!!!

    Have not made any cards for about a week but as I have bought alot of things lately I will make a big effort to have a cardmaking binge when I get back from hols!!!

    OK - had a think and have come up with the following challenge, hope it's OK??

    I challenge you to use a new technique. It can be anything from resist embossing, painting with distress inks to trying out an easel card, the only stipulation is that it must be a new technique to you.

    The challenge will run for two weeks, so I reckon that will be 20/7. I'll try and sort a small prize out for the winner who will be picked at random. Enjoy. x
