Spooooooky Hues :)

Hi peeps and hope that you are all OK and having a nice week :)

Firstly, the hugest of thanks to everybody who joined in last week – your shapely cards were amazing.

So who’s our winner then?

Wooohooo Laney …. tis you-hoooooo

Well done chicksie and if you e-mail me I’ll pass your details onto Katharina and hugest of thanks to Whiff Of Joy for sponsoring us xxx

And check out Laney’s beautiful card peeps ….

What gorgeous work.

So onto this week and our challenge is

Spooooky Hues

All you have to do this week is to use Halloween inspired colours, so think reds and blacks, purples and oranges, you know the sort of thing lol!! You can do a Halloween card if you want but you don't have to, as long as the colour theme is there.

We are sponsored this week by our very own lovelies, Mary & Andrea who are The Ribbon Girl (s)

And feast your eyes upon this prize ……

It’s a gorgeous Halloween Mini Kit - OMLife those colours are drool-worthy and thank you so much to our Mary & Andrea xxxx

Before we get to the cards, we have a GDT call so if you want to join us in November please put GDT after your name on old Linky.

So without further ado, let’s check out what the PTW crew did this week - I think they are all AMAZING (the PTW crew AND the cards that is lol!!) :)

Andie – GDT

Annette GDT

So that’s what we did and now it’s over to you, and if you get a sec, don’t forget if you get a sec 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. And also, 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 a 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 :)

And finally don't forget to put GDT after your name if you want to be part of our GDT in November

Hugs from all of us to all of you xxx
