			<description>This month I want you to use a fancy fold such as step card, diorama, springy card, pop up etc. NO plain A6, A5 etc

Here's one I did earlier in true Blue Peter fashion!











Trees are stamped and embossed then colour brayered over top. </description>

			<title>JUNE CHALLENGE - RECIPE</title>
			<link>http://thecraftycow.darkbb.com/monthly-challenge-section-f13/june-challenge-recipe-t1849.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>topgran</dc:creator>
			<description>Thought I'd do something different this month so here's a recipe.



Take:



1 stamped image



A piece of pretty lace



Some flowers



Mix well together and produce a creative masterpiece!

I usually try to have made mine before I set the challenge but because I've been so busy haven't managed it this time but will try to come up with something this week.



Look forward to seeing all the different results. </description>

			<dc:creator>topgran</dc:creator>
			<description>Almost forgot that today was 1st May! This month I've done a sketch for you to follow.







Don't forget to tell us how you made it and what you used.



It's a square card - don't know where the extra white bit on the right came from! </description>

			<description>Well here it is a day early as I probably won't have time tomorrow with last minute packing etc! 



The theme this month is &quot;Feathered Friends&quot; 



Here's mine.







Made with Crafty Individuals stamp and their matching backing papers. All of which Anne forced me to buy last time I visited Crafty Cow      </description>

			<title>March Challenge - Shades of Blue</title>
			<link>http://thecraftycow.darkbb.com/monthly-challenge-section-f13/march-challenge-shades-of-blue-t1449.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>topgran</dc:creator>
			<description>This month I would like to see cards made using ONLY shades of blue.



And in true Blue Peter fashion - here's one I made earlier.







Although it looks white the flower really is very pale blue.

Forgot to say made with Papermania papers and flowers from stash .Think some of them came from Crafty Cow. </description>

			<description><![CDATA[It will be a month at the weekend since I set the first challenge. As I don't expect anyone will be cardmaking over Christmas I will set the next one after the Big Day to last till end of January. Unless of course you all want to do one over Christmas as an antidote to all the over indulging <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/lol.gif" alt="lol!" longdesc="61" />]]></description>
