Take Your Pick

Hi peeps and hope you are all OK and that you are having a lovely week so far.

A huge thank you to everybody who joined in last week.
We had a fabulous response and your ‘cut above’ cards and projects were amazing .

So who is our winner?

Woohooo Laura C,   this week it’s you chick :)

Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll sort out your voucher for you.

And check out what Laura  did …

… oh I utterly LOVE this.
The colours are so pretty and the die cuts she used are fabulous

OK, onto this week and it’s time for another

Take Your Pick

In case you aren't familiar with how it works,  the last challenge of every month has several themes and you simply take your pick from them.
There’s a sketch, a colour theme, a product theme and a technique theme to choose from.

You can use any theme and if you want to, you can combine two or more.

So  here are this month’s  themes  -


Colour theme

Pastels – any or a combination, tis up to you.

Technique theme

Make a treat holder for Easter

Product theme

Anything oval

Sketch

Sketch #99

But don’t forget as always,  if you would prefer to use another sketch, then please feel free to use any Papertake Weekly sketch you fancy,
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!!!

So all you have to do is simply  Take You Pick!!
I hope that this all makes sense but please feel free to email either myself or any of the PTW girls if you have any queries or questions.

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 and utterly fab
