and crystal clear gems. 
This weeks challenge was set by Kate and the only rule was to make a Mothers Day card but no flowers allowed.
I cheated this week and altered a card I had made for my last workshop, I had intended it to be a Mothers Day card but didn't add the text at the time to leave the option open.
The PaperPlay challenge this week is to use three rectangles and some glitter/bling. The background paper I used is from the Amy Butler K & Company pad and should carry a glitter alert, some of the sheets are really overloaded with glitter.
This weeks PaperPlay Challenge was set by Mandy .I used a stamped image for the main picture watercoloured and highlighted with diamond glaze then layered on stamped and distressed card and papers and embellishments from Crafteire and The Scrapbook Store ,
Blossom..Button...patterned paper. This weeks PaperPlay challenge is to use one and only one each of these in your creation -1. Patterned Paper 2. Button 3. Blossom/FlowerYou can use cardstock and anything else you wish but you must have one of each from the list.
I set the PaperPlay challenge this week and my theme is.....
MONOCHROME= " images in neutral colors are also known as grayscale or black-and-white" My challenge is to create something using mainly Black and White, you can include other colours but they must be kept to a minimum.
If you would like to take up the PaperPlay challenge you can post your take on the theme over on the PaperPlay blog.
This is a selection of cards we made at the workshop yesterday and also lots of sample cards I bring along for ideas.

Had a great day today at the workshop, thanks to everyone for making it so enjoyable, the atmosphere was great, one minute you would hear a pin drop with all the concentration the next everyone was chatting and having a laugh, we had a few new faces there from the Craft Supplies forum and it was great to meet up with everyone IRL. I am looking forward to the next one already.
