Welcome aboard Charlene!!!!

Alright.... now on to our newest challenge hosted by Cheryl Nelson

****************************************************************

Hi All!  It is Cheryl back as your hostess this week and I have chosen the theme of "It's a Fabrication"...*and that's the truth*...your challenge is to use fabric on your project this week.  I don't know about you, but I get almost giddy when I walk into a fabric store.  I just LOVE all the pattern and color and texture.  Using fabric on a project can add all those things to it and I'm super excited to see what you all create with it this week.

Get to know Catherine......

I am french but I have been living in the UK for more than twelve years now. I started paper crafting ten years ago. I used to do a lot of cross-stitching but I had to stop because of problems with my hands. I have never looked back since ! I am totally addicted... I used to make memory albums but since I started my blog I have been mainly making cards. I love kraft cardstock, dies, ribbons... and cute images for me to colour ! Blogland is a wonderful place with great people and a lot of inspiration

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 121 ~ Let's Do It Again

Hello Girlies.... It's me Linda
I don't know if you remember a while back when I had you play with an image from The Graphics Fairy on your project (check it out HERE). Well, I had so much fun with this challenge that I wanted to give it another try....
So this week, you MUST use the Butterfly image from The Graphics Fairy. Can't wait to see what you come up with

Get to know Linda......

I’m so honored to have won the opportunity to be guest designer this week. I love City Crafters and these sweet and talented ladies who come up with interesting challenges every week.
    I'm a retired graphic designer who has worked in the craft and hobby industry for my entire life, growing up in a family owned business. My husband, aka The Penmaker, and I love traveling and are always on the lookout for a new scrapbook or woodworking shop. My first love is card making, but I’ll try nearly any paper crafting project. I’ve recently branched out into art journaling, and I have to say, that there’s something great about dried paint and gesso on your fingers.

hi, i'm lauren, and i'm thrilled and honored to be guest designing again with this amazing team. i love art supplies of any kind, especially anything vintage or glittery, and tend to regard most new things i discover in the world by wondering whether they would look good on a card! i blog most days, make christmas cards year 'round at jingle belles, use my abundance of embellies creatively at shopping our stash, and share a few of my treasures via my etsy shop, just enough stuff. and of course i am inspired every single week by kirsty, linda, cheryl and ros!

Hi there!

It's Ros here with you this week ... 

Have you had your summer vacation yet? Maybe some of you are due to go away soon ...
Here in the UK the school summer holidays are about to start so with this in mind, the challenge I have set for you is to make a "Bon Voyage"card or project
Perhaps it will be something for yourself ... or maybe to give to someone ... either way we love to see it!

So I hope you'll come and join us this week ... Have fun!
