oooo I'm scared it's a head scratcher will be thinkin at work today luv a good challenge

[SharonMcD]

Your points add up to 40. Is that correct?

[jo.bee]

Can't view the gallery - too busy. When you mean mosaic - do you mean chopping things up into squares - without seeing yours I really don't know what you want. And what if you can't sew???

[linda321]

Your points add up to 40. Is that correct?

I'm not sure how you get to 40. It's 15 +5 +5 +5 =30

[dotty_dotty]

fab challenge will try and give it a go

[linda321]

Can't view the gallery - too busy. When you mean mosaic - do you mean chopping things up into squares - without seeing yours I really don't know what you want. And what if you can't sew???

Some of us have chopped up photos into little squares (very effective!), and some of us have chopped up paper into little squares (mounting letters for titles, or flowers). I guess you could use other shapes too, eg triangles, hexagons - especially if you have a punch that shape.

I'm sure you can improvise if you can't sew. What about stamping or doodling stitches? In my LO I have stitched the leaves rather than flowers.

[joanold]

Great challenge. Must put my thinking cap on to warm my brain!

Sorry, I saw one of the "10s" for the french knots and counted it too! So sorry. Just looked at your samples, really lovely. Must have a go at this one.

Here is mine .Thank you for neat challenge ,and getting me to try some thing different

[Mary Buttons]

Here is my Digi version done all but the scraps as this LO just could not take any pps or cs even digi ones. so claiming 25 pts. Turning gold (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=141486&cat=500&ppuser=11077)

[Silverstar]

Here's (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=141503&cat=503)my interpretation of this week's challenge. Another one who can't get French knots right I'm afraid but I did try ;):D Great challenge girls, really outside my comfort zone for sure :)
I did another LO first before I read it properly ( first thing in the morning is NOT the time to start a challenge LO everyone!!). It's here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=141426&cat=500&ppuser=20915) but the wrong colours so in the end just another LO.

[MrsH]

Wow - just amazed by the number of you who've tackled our challenge already! Your LO's are all inspired and it's very much appreciated that some of you have really come out of your comfort zone to take part. Well done everyone.

Really pleased that some of you have tackled this challenge digitally too :)

[Jillybee]

tough one this week, but enjoyed it.

[LynnFair]

Here's mine, thanks for the challenge. Did stitching in between the flowers instead, hope that still counts!

[Marja]

Got it (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=141834&cat=500&ppuser=5746) done but I seriously struggled with this one! The mosaic requirement was totally not something I'd usually do and I didn't want to cut my photos up so did the patterned paper. I also tend to scrap with pretty bright colors so this made the autumn colors hard for me as well. I guess that's why it's called a "challenge" :lol:

Thanks Ladies!

[janetlinda56]

Just got it done in time, the first weekly challenge for a few weeks !

Well done everyone! We are so pleased that so many of you particiapted in our challenge. I think the mosaic and hand stitching was a bit of a challenge - so well done if you tried something new!
