Hi peeps, 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 -  what a wonderful response and your Mum /  girlie cards were absolutely beautiful. There's going to be a lot of very happy recipients for sure :)
So who was our winner then ?

Woohooo Rachel this week it’s you chick :)
Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll pass your details on to Mary and hugest of thanks to The Ribbon Girl for sponsoring us xxx
And check out what Rachel  did peeps …..
...  what a fab card in a box.
And Rachel has very kindly posted a link to a tutorial on her blog for one of these very popular cards if anybody wants to know how to make them.
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 #88
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 MUST 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 and utterly fab

And check out what  Andrea did peeps …..

What a gorgeous card using sketch #87  - I love the image and colours she used :)
You will notice that I added an extra number onto the entries and this was because one lady was not able to get Linky to work - I think there were problems last week, but it was only fair to include her.

Now 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 your own flowers.

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

Lili of The Valley

And they have given us a …
