Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge.

Winners results for #62 are in the post below.

Please make sure you check as it could be you.

Unclaimed prizes go back into the pot and there have been quite a few!

Thank you all so much for playing along.

We are  already more than half way through

the new set of letters and themes.

I've introduced  a new mix into the challenge too!!

Each challenge will be a different letter of the Alphabet.

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

you will be eligible for going into a second draw to win 

an additional prize.

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

 My Guest Designers

will choose which letter goes next and I will supply the theme.

I'm  delighted to introduce you to my next Guest Designer

Please Welcome  

Zoe
(Winner #57)

Hello I'm Zoe and delighted to have been asked to be the Guest Designer for this challenge.   On reaching 60 earlier this year came retirement, completely loving this and taking full advantage of the time it gives me to do what I love best.   What is that?  Messy arty crafty things of course!

My earliest memories of card making are of a card and glitter set my Mum got me when I was about 8.   Because of dyslexia my thought process are pictorial it came as a big surprise when it was explained to me that most people mentally visualise words and letters.   Try as hard as I might that skill eludes me, but hay the compensation is a rich parade of pictures often in cartoon form! \ little wonder then that expressing myself visually.

Happy to play with most mediums, not so good with needle and thread but that cross stitch project might get finished one day.   Favourite activities are things you get your hands into the messier the better.  Which with this project might be a bit of a surprise, but I love the challenge of white on white which needs texture, light and shade to work.  In the past I've tried white stamping but it does not show up in photos so not suitable for this project.    In recent time jewellery making has re-entered my creative palette, the inclusion of wire allowed me to bring that interest into this with the little wire butterfly.

Our hostess loves to see the fortnight creations and is very welcoming of new joiners.   A great deal of effort goes into running a challenge the reward is the entries and wonderful projects people share.   Please show our lovely Mrs A you care and join in with her fun butterfly challenge.  XOXO

Doris

(Winner #56)

My name is Doris and I live with my wonderful man – he’s my blog-administrator and we create together sometimes :-) - and our cat, named Sammy in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. I’m a creative craftsmen since 2007 and I love to create cards, no matter what style and with what technique. But it does not always have to be on paper, as I like to try new things and I am open to new ideas. When I use some stamps I will colour them with aquarellcolours. Or I use 3D - projects for my cards.  And this I like to show you on my blog ... which I lead since 2014.

Doris has chosen
