Hello everyone!
The prompts for April are going up a little early here on the forum and additional hints for how to interpret them on your cards will be available on my blog tomorrow here.
As always full info about this challenge can be found here in the January post.
Here are the images - hope you enjoy!

Happy crafting!
Well I failed miserably with March's prompts and with a very poorly FIL I'm not sure if I'll be able to join in this month just yet but love the fab prompts Nat ^_^
Nice prompts Nat, love those colours.
Ellie.
Love these prompts. Not so many people or events to make cards for this month..but I'll do my best.
Sorry you're having such a bad time with FIL Jayne, it is tough looking after older family. I hope he's okay.
I have birthdays to make for but I seem to be constantly dealing with paperwork at present and of course now the garden is calling. Still, one way or another I do need to get some cards done so I hope I can make the prompts fit. Mind you, you know me, if they don't fit I'll cheat!:lol:
Here are my two .. main card .... and Christmas ...

They are both lovely cards. I love the pastel shades in the engagement card, very pretty.
Gorgeous cards francis
Lovely cards Frances. The Christmas one is quite graphic and very effective.
Ellie.
Here's one and I do have yellow and green in there and you could say having a dinosaur rushing to wish you happy birthday is an awfully big adventure!:lol:

So sorry Nat, haven't had time to make any this month.
Been busy, seeing to my poorly dad, had the decorator in, and
Getting ready for my guests from Australia to arrive on May1st.
Might not manage any next month either!
Ellie.
One paltry card this month! I'll try harder next time
But such a beautiful card Elaine..
Ellie.
Thanks Ellie..I decided to make some more cars as May and June are busy birthday months for me..so there may be more to follow after all!
That's really pretty Elaine. I love the Swiss dot card stock, it makes such a pretty background.
That's lovely Elaine, I do like the Swiss dot for backgrounds :)
Wendy
Managed to do an alternative Christmas card.
Can't take credit for the rhyme paper, that's one of my DD designs :)
Ellie.
Love that card Ellie ! Nice rhyme paper, clever DD :)
Oh I love the card Ellie, so different. I love the rhyme paper and also the background paper, both gorgeous.
A card from me...wonderful card from you Ellie
Beautiful card Elaine! I love the muted tones and the lovely combination of the bird, flower and leaves and that pretty banner.
Thanks ladies :)
Elaine your cards are always so elegant, love it..
Ellie.
That's a nice thing to say Ellie..thank you!
And thank you too Susie.
All I can say is you've done so much better than me! :D Fantastic cards and hooray for a Christmas card - and a very clever one at that! :D
I've had a really busy month after getting back from holiday in Cornwall that has left me very little time or energy for unwinding with crafting sadly, but I am off for a weekend away with craft friends later today and I hope to high heaven that means I will actually get some cards made (considering the amount of stuff I need to get in my car now!).
I've prepped the blog post for May's prompts - who knows they may inspire mother nature to turn on the sunshine. They should go live on my blog on Sunday morning with tips, but I'll go set up a dedicated thread now so you will get the prompts a little early in case this weekend is going to be a nice crafty one for you!
I've been making cards today..lots of them!
And three more
and here's three more
and finally...
nothing like leaving it 'til the last minute is there?
My you have been busy :lol:
Like all of them but especially the nautical one, and
the flowers. How did you do the green and orange background of them.?
The last one, with the bird, is very effective Elaine.
I bet you are all carded out now:lol:
Ellie.
Good grief, busy isn't the word for it!:blink: I am so jealous and they are all lovely. The flowery one is just beautiful but my absolute favourite is the last one, the anniversary card. I adore the colours you've used.
Thanks ladies...I used a Stampin Up stamp for the background of the yellow and green ones. I'm not happy with the ribbon so I will change that but all. All a good days work..and yes..I am all carded out now. I made 14 in total but some were duplicates so I have a stack ready for all occasions.
My favourite ome is also the Kraft one with the bird..it's for my DH..our anniversary isn't until 14th June but there's no harm in being prepared. :lol:
The nautical one is for Father's Day on the 19th of June..for my FIL as my own Dad is no longer with us.
Wow, they are all simply gorgeous Elaine!! :D
Great job Elaine, they are all lovely. Was it a stampin up class ?
Yes..all the ones without birds on (10 of them but not all pictured as some are duplicates) we're the make and takes for the day..all the ones with birds on are ones I thought of myself using the Polka Pieces stamp set..and my anniversary one also uses gorgeous grunge stamp set too. Thanks for yr kind comments everyone
Getting there, one prompt at a time!
Here's my interpretation of the main prompt - chevrons, lots of pink, triangular geometric patterns. :)
