Congratulations Ladies - and we hope to see you back playing with us again soon!

Someone who is returning, this time as a Guest Designer for October,  is Wendy 

Hi my name is Wendy L, known as Spanish Crafter in blogland. 


 I have been card making for a number of years and still get so much pleasure from it, it has also helped see me through some bad times in my life. 

 I am lucky to have been able to retire early, thanks to my great partner, and we decided to live in Spain to get some warmth into our bones !!!!!  I do go back to the UK two or three times a year to see family, especially now that I have two gorgeous grand daughters and a Grandson  to spoil.

I craft most days and give nearly all my cards to local charities here, as well as making some for friends and neighbours.  I also couldn't live without my laptop and hop around blogland most days too.
xxxxxxxx

Wendy has created this for us:

I have used Sue Wilsons Gemini Cygnus die and pricked and stitched the centrepiece.

Isn't that just gorgeous! Love the abstract sun die and the stitched suns - such a pretty card.

See, it doesn't have to be an actual picture/photo of the sun - I think some of you think this is a bit too hard!
Berina and I from the Design Team also have some more inspiration for you to look at
.....and there is always Pinterest for further inspiration!

Why not go off the the blogs of these people and check out 
how easy it was to create these cards (or not)!
Don't forget to leave a comment too!

Remember - no Stamps please

There is another great prize on offer and the link for entry and further details on the next challenge - Challenge #51: The Sun, with a twist of Gold, Gold, Gold can be found on the bottom of this post


Go on - have a go!

Challenge #51: October

Boy oh boy oh boy......September is over already and we are on to the next challenge #51!

This time it is 


 the SUN - rising or setting, but always with 
a twist of GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!


The prize for this month is this embossing folder


There are many and different ways (arrays?) of portraying the sun - a photograph or a beautiful sunrise or sunset; a picture created of the same; embossed rays or use a stencil to get the same result. Remember, it does not have to be a card. A few months ago I used this canvas for a challenge in multi-media - and I do believe it was a sun.......so a multi media canvas would be great or any other multi media creation or repurposed item. Don't think - too hard........think, WOW, how can I do that!



The Design Team have created amazing things again, and here they are to assist you in your thinking







No not a stamp - go to my blog to see how this was made.
