It will always be Butterflies  with the addition

of an item/theme beginning with a chosen letter.

Along with this letter will be a corresponding  colour.

You may choose to use just the letter /theme + butterfly

or use the colour + butterfly.

If you make your project 

using both the letter and the colour + butterfly

an additional prize.

So that's 2 chances to win  on each challenge.

Please Welcome  back

Alice P.

(Winner #55)

I'm a 54 years old italian teacher (of primary school).

I live with my six(!) kitties in a little country hill near the sea.

I started my blog in May 2014. I have always played with papers, glue and colours, but I have known cardmaking/crafting world only recently, when I bought my first Big Shot and some dies... Such a fabulous invention is it!

I like learning and try new things and always look at the amazing works of the so many talented crafter in Blogland.

I like to recycle, not only for an ecological and economical factor, but also because everything can be re-invented. When I was a kid, my Grandmother taught me to throw away the less possible, because everything can be looked with different eyes and used in different ways. She made me small boats with hulls of walnut-tree, and dolls with a knotting handkerchief... She preserved the papers of my Easter eggs, and then I made collage and decorated boxes with them. I enjoyed those papers!

So, now I hate wasting...I'm a compulsive hoarder :D

I love so much all the colours, the "girly style", animals, flowers and nature and all the sweet things make me happy!

My English isn't very good, so I hope to haven't made too much mistakes in this my presentation... Lol

Hope you like my little works and I can't wait to see yours!

Winners #57

Hello again.

Time to announce the winners of 

my  Years and/or Yellow Challenge.

 2 new players participated. 

Welcome. 

Thank you all so much for joining in..

All of your entries were excellent
examples of  yellow

and those of you that played with years

came up with some interesting 

outside of the box examples.

Not all ones I had thought of

so well done.

 My Top 3

I kept coming back to these 5 cards

time and time again  and would 

have been here till the cows came home

trying to whittle down further so I didn't!

My reasoning why is below.

In numerical order they are

(8) Vilinke

(With this pretty exploding box with the 

daintiest rose nestling in the base with a butterfly).

(11) Brenda

(The wording cleverly represents Years

and I love the big butterfly).

(14) Caroline's Creaties

(I love the layers and those delicate flowers

with the butterflies nestling in the lace /trellis).

(25) Shartl

(The single red flower +butterfly against the
 striking yellow background had me mesmerised).

(33 Nana Connie

(I love the feel of the Jungle in this card and wow
what a magnificent Jaguar!).

Congratulations Ladies please  take a bow and  help yourselves to the

 Top3 badge from the side bar. 

Now onto the winner picked by 

Random Org. 

I'm  pleased to say the winner was also in my Top 5 last time.

(5) Zoechaos

(Look closely at the stem of the roses.

Brilliant interpretation).

Congratulations.
