Free For All Time Again :)

Hi peeps :)

I hope that you are all OK and that you are having a good week so far.  Here in the UK we are growing webbed feet, we’ve had so much rain!!! If you are one of the places affected, then our thoughts are with you and I hope that you haven't had too much damage.

Hugest of thanks to everybody who joined in last week – your ribbons and pearls projects were soooo pretty :))))

So who was our winner then ?

Woohooo Corrinne Quinn, this week it’s you chick :)

Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll pass your details on to Mary & Andrea and hugest thanks to the fabulous Ribbon Girl  for sponsoring us xxx

And check out what Corrinne  did peeps …..

...  what fabulous colours and I love the ribbon and leaves :)

So onto this week and as it’s the last one of the month, we have a little sketchie for you.

and here it is – sketch #74.

But as we are doing now,  if you would prefer to use another sketch, then please feel free to use any Papertake Weekly sketch you fancy because we have another

Sketchie Free For All

All you have to do is to use any PTW sketch (it has to be one of ours please) and just add the number of the sketch you’ve chosen when you post the link back to us :) To make life a bit easier, we now have a sketches page at the top here so there are a fair old few to choose from. Hopefully this will save you having to go back through the archives to find one that you like :)

As always, please feel free to resize, flip and rotate the elements - as long as you can still see the sketch, it’s completely fine so fill yer boots!!!

And of course, as it’s the last challenge of the month, we are sponsored by those fabulous people across the pond.

Yes it’s the one and only

So that’s what we did and now it’s over to you, and if you get a sec, don’t forget to check out our individual blogs and see what else we have been up to.

As always, could we ask a huge favour peeps please.

Could you help to make our job at leaving comments easier by turning off comment verification and enabling comment moderation instead please pretty please xxxx. It’s ever so easy to do – see our sidebar – and you won’t get spam comments as you can easily reject the comments that you don't want to appear.

Can we remind you nicely that’s it’s fine to combine challenges but please, no back linking. We hope you understand that it’s only fair to those who make a new card xxx

And also, can I just give you another  nice gentle reminder to ask if you could make sure that you link your card and not your blog when using good old Mr Linky please my lovelies. It makes life so much easier for our DT if they don’t have to go searching for your cards.

Thanks ever so muchly – we really do appreciate it xxx

Finally,  just to let you know that sometimes it is not possible for the Design Team to leave a comments on every entry, with these Blogger issues that some of us are having at the mo – grrrrrr what a nightmare. But please be assured that we do stop by and we are doing our best and every single eligible entry goes into the draw for our prizes even if we don’t manage to leave you a comment.

Thanks for bearing with us and huggiest of hugs to all xxx

Anything Goes :)

Hi peeps :)

I hope that you are all OK and that you are having a good week so far. I hope that our East Coast friends are all safe and sound and we are still thinking about you at this awful time – it looked absolutely horrendous on the news. 

It  has gone very cold indeedy here in the jolly old UK, brrrrr. Some of us have even had snow would you believe!!! But compared to what you guys have had, this is nothing. Thoughts and prayers and much love to you all xxx

Hugest of thanks to everybody who joined in last week – there were some great interpretations of our sketches.

And talking of sketches, I’ve added most of our sketches in a page at the top of this blog, which I hope will make life a little easier for you when you are looking for one for our end of month challenge. Please feel free to use them at any other time though – they are there for inspiration chicksies.

So onto this week and as it’s the first one of the month we have our usual

Anything Goes

theme with the optional extra to make a card or a project for Christmas (well, they will come in handy soon won’t they!!!).
But remember this is only an option and if you don’t want to use this theme then you don’t have to. The main thing is to let loose your creative stuff and make a card that pleases YOU :)

As our regulars will know, the first challenge of the month is sponsored by the lovely Lisa & Laila over at
