    Exclamation ** Card a Day challenge: February 26th - March 4th **

    Glad to see so many of you got the challenge bug last week.

    Here's our next set of prompts, and because it's a new month, there is a bonus card if you are feeling über-creative.

    Bonus card - "Good Luck to You" - Inspiration: Green/yellow/brown, journaling card/label, alpha stickers, badge.

    Fri 26th - "Always and Forever" - Inspiration: Tone-on-tone colour scheme, bling shapes, square card, satin ribbon, elegant font.

    Sat 27th - "Little Prince" - Inspiration: Hounds tooth pattern, gingham, crown, fabric rosette/flower, label.

    Sun 28th - "Bucky the Beaver" - Inspiration: Woodgrain/wood, woodland characters/theme, twine, green.

    Mon 1st - "Bird on a Branch" - Inspiration: Digi elements, dots/spots, embroidery thread/twine.

    Tue 2nd - "Read" - Inspiration: Hobbies, brackets, metal hardware, knotted ribbon.

    Wed 3rd - "Button Tree Thanks" - Inspiration: Button elements, spots and stripes, mini-greeting, kraft.

    Thu 4th - "Love is Music" - Inspiration: Circle card, twill, inking, vintage elements, a quotation.


    Looking forward to seeing what you all make.

    About this challenge: Every Friday I will be posting prompts based on card designs that appear in the "Card a Day" 2010 idea book from Papercrafts.

    This is a stress-free challenge as you just take what inspiration you want from the prompts to create as many or as few cards a week as you are happy with.

    How you interpret the prompts is up to you, you can use the title, elements, or none of the above as a springboard to your own ideas. And you can try to incorporate the elements in cards for other challenges.

    Just share what you make in the dedicated weekly thread.

    Hi - I found this challenge yesterday and it is ideal for me as a gentle way back into papercrafting after several months break. I have had a go at today's prompt, but am having trouble getting a photo of it in my post. Can anyone remind me how it's done? I have uploaded it to Flikr and am trying to copy/paste the URL from there, but nada. Do I need to use something else, like photobucket? Thanks for help.

    Just had an Aha moment while browsing soimeone's gallery - looks like I can get URL from my gallery. Why did I never realise that before?
    Off to try...

    Fab start to the thread Gillian.

    Here's mine for Friday's prompt, yes I know it's very loosely based on it... but it is a square card!

    That's so sweet, Nat - where is the red riding hood image from?
    Mine was not a square - I'm making some cards for Cancer Relief and they need to be A6 size.
    I've also done Sat and Sun, will photograph and upload tomorrow...
