Heck Of A New Challenge Starts Today

Hello my lovely lovely friends I'M BACK!!! Or at least I should be after this weekend, we are still open so I will be working but it will be more like normal hours from now onwards, which means I'm hoping to find time to create and comment again!!

Today is the start of a brand new challenge blog

HECK OF A CHALLENGE

and I'm super excited to be a part of this from the beginning

Please please please head over there and join us for our first challenge of

Anything Goes

I've been to the shop in Heckmondwike and the Mandies are lovely, I hope you will all support them.  On October 6th we are all meeting up again for a blog girls day in the shop, if you can make it book in FAST! Details on the blog.
This is a monthly challenge so that should give everyone plenty of time to enter, the challenge will close at 8pm on the last day of each month and a new challenge will begin on the 1st of each month.

I was still really busy when it came to making something for this challenge and was about to show you a picture of some cupcakes I'd made a while back for my DT contribution, lol, when I remembered I'd made this album from our trip to Italy and not blogged it!

Huge sign of relief!!!

I covered the chipboard album with the most gorgeous G.C.D. papers called 'Ella Blue'

I made all the pictures black & white then added a couple of colours back into them in Photoshop

We stopped at the 'Blue Train' restaurant on the way in Paris and it was AMAZING!!

We were with a fabulous bunch of characters - I never stopped laughing

Lake Garda is a beautiful place but Verona was my absolute favourite!

This year we went to the English Lakes and I've yet to make an album for that, maybe now I have a bit more time I'll get on with it.

Head over to the main challenge blog HERE to check out what the fabulous DT have created for some inspiration, there really is a complete collection of styles for you there! All the details can be found there including the winner of the opening candy that was up for grabs!
 The prize this month is a £10 voucher to spend in store or in the online sister shop Every Crafts A Pound  HERE

Thank you for stopping by and checking me out today, don't forget to enter my 'Birthday Candy' before you go, it really is a special one!

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
