Week 29 - Use beads on your card!

This one surely is set to challenge you! Think microbeads, large round beads threaded onto wire, decorative beads in gorgeous shapes! Can't wait to see what you can come up with!

Week 28 Round & Round We Go!

This week's challenge is courtesy of Hope - thank you! It is to make a ROUND CARD! As I am on holidays this week you have 2 weeks to make your card and load it to the slide show - don't worry if it doesn't appear right away though as I will need to send the approvals through when I get back.

I hope you enjoy this challenge!

I'm dreaming of a blue (??) Christmas!

That's right - let's make a Christmas card this week featuring the colour BLUE!
Cant' wait to see what you come up with! I did 2 cards and it was fun!

Week 26 - Lavender & Lace

This week's challenge is courtesy of Susan - Thanks!

The theme is "Lavender and Lace" ie, use some lace and the colour lavender (or purple)...on your card! Sounds easy? Let's see what you come up with!

Week 25 - Add an ARROW!

This week I thought I would try out something new. Arrows seem to be everywhere at the moment in scrapbooking so why not use them on a card? I did and I hope you will be a copycat and use one too! Don't forget to add your work to our slide show!

Week 24 - Flower ribbon & a brad!

Wow what a fabulous response to our first week back! Thank you so much to all of the ladies for making and uploading your card - I hope it was as much fun for you as it was for us enjoying looking at them all!

This week I have made a card using flowers, ribbon and a brad and thought you guys might like to be "Copycats" and make one too!!

It's easy to play - Just make a card, photograph or scan it, click "More" on the slide show and add image. Don't worry if it doesn't show up straight away, I approve all images manually. Please name the image with your name so we can all give credit where credit is due!

Week 23 - Orange Black & White!

We're baaaack!

Hi all - sorry for the break but hey, we're back NOW!

First challenge is to....

MAKE A CARD USING BLACK ORANGE & WHITE!!!!

Please upload your sample by Sunday 7 September! Will be back with my sample and a slide show for you to upload in!!

Tell all your friends please COPYCATCARDS is back!

Week 22 - White & Bright

Hi - I thought this theme would be fun - white base and BRIGHT colours! We all need cheering up now and then...have fun...oh - I won't be on much this week so please, if you can, add your card before Wed so I can get it loaded - thank you to those still droppping by..xx

Week 21 - Hand stitch + Red!!

This week's copycat is to use hand stitching on your card AND, to jazz it up a bit, the colour RED!!
Hree's what I came up with - hope you can join in!

Week 20 - Pink & Purple & Silver

Wow is it Sunday already??? So sorry I haven't loaded my card for last week yet...things just got busy! I think that may have been the case for a lot of us this week actually!

Anyway, for those waiting on this week's challenge - I thought we'd try an easy combo for all of us busy people - create a card using the colours pink, purple & silver...GO GO GO!!! Please join in!!

HOPE was the winner of the Lizzie Anne stamps. Her card which used the Birds & Swirls Cuttlebug die was just perfect for this challenge!...Congrats!

Hope has also kindly donated the PRIZE FOR THIS WEEK'S COPYCAT - it is a great, fun pack of Disney stuff! Thanks Hope!!

Week 19 - Flutter and Flourish!

Thanks so much for joining in! This week I thought we could all try to add a flourish and something that flutters to our card eg. a butterfly with a swirly border, a birdy sitting on a flourishy branch...let your imagination go wild!! The prize this week will be 2 small Lizzie Anne stamps to add to your collection - valued at almost $20!

Happy Mothers Day to all MUMS!!

Week 18 - Just for MUM

With Mothers day this Sunday I thought a good challenge would be to make a card in your Mum's favourite colours, if you don't know them why not ask her if you can and if not why not make it in your favourites!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Week 17 - Inside out

This week I thought we would turn our cards inside out! By that I mean let's put the sentiment/verse we would normally put inside the card on the outside.

So start digging out those verse stamps - there's also plenty of quotes and verses on the net - let Google guide you and have fun! I notice also that Australian Paper Crafts magazine often put little quotes in their mag so if you have a copy or two dig them out for some more inspiration!

Week 16 - No Paper shall be harmed!

Okay so this week we have something different. Other than to make the base of the card, you may NOT cut a full sheet of patterned paper or cardstock. No cheating either! You should USE some patterned paper somewhere on your card but make sure it's paper scraps! You are not to harm any FULL sheets of paper or cardstock! Let's use up those little bits guys!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Week 15 -Cut out a window by Guest DTer Janean!

The sweet Janean has put her hand up to help me out with this week's challenge - all you need to do is to make some sort of window on your card. Too easy! Please just click on the "ADD PICS" button on the slide show and join in!
The prize this week is from Printblocks and we are giving away 3 copies to 3 people so don't wait - add you card now!!! - see below:-

Congrats to Beckie, Leah & Kristy - you get these fantastic books! Well done!

Week 14 - Olympic Fever

The lovely Kristy has put her hand up as one of our Guest DTers and this is her challenge for the week! Please join in!

NB: You will see a button on the top right hand side of the slide show saying "Add your pics". Please click on this and upload your card (with your name and the country you chose). This will save me time in finding and manually uploading it. Thanks!

"OLYMPIC FEVER"
WITH LOTS OF TALK ABOUT THE FASTLY APPROACHING BEIJING OLYMPIC GAMES I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FUN TO MAKE A CARD WITH YOUR CHOICE OF COUNTRY'S COLOURS.
YOU CAN CHOSE ANY COUNTRY YOU LIKE. Just click on the card in the slide show to see who made it!

Week 13 - Punch & Stamp

Week 13 - Punch & Stamp ++ HEELLLPPP

Hi there!

Thanks to those ladies who managed to get their card in last week for that very short week with a very HARD challenge. I made several cards through the week however I realised after inspiration had struck that there was a circle somewhere...on the patterned paper, or a rounded shape or a brad etc...now I realise how much I use circles and rounded lines in my cards!

I thought for Week 13 we will make it a little easier and hopefully those who I scared off last week might come back and play with us.

THIS WEEK is just to USE A PUNCH and A STAMP on your card!

Now, as Tracy is still unwell, Susan has now left on holidays and I am moving shops I could really use some help! I would love a couple of Guest Dters for a month or so...anyone like to offer? You just need to make a card each week for the slide show and choose a challenge for one of the weeks. Any takers please email me with your details and an idea for a challenge! Thanks!

Week 12 - It's HIP 2 B Square!

Week 12 - It's Hip to be SQUARE

That's right NO ROUND anything allowed - no flowers (unless they're square...lol) no rounded corners, no round embellishments, no buttons, no round brads! Can we cope with this? I hope so! Have fun copycaters! I haven't made mine yet so I may be tearing my hair out with you!

Week 11 - Be Creative

Week 11 - Be Creative!

This week we don't want to see Happy Birthday, we don't want to see Get Well, we don't want to see Happy Mother's Day...

WE WANT TO SEE A CARD WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT like...a title to match an image eg. sMOOches with an image of a cow, OR an eye catching word which makes the recipient want to open the card like Seriously?? OR a sentiment used in a different way like putting the words in the shape of a flower...

It's a tough one but please don't let that stop you from playing along...tickle that funny bone and get started!

Week 10 - Get Well
