Good luck with the move Ali - and you never know you may just manage to get one more card made for the challenge before 2013 is out. ;)
And well done to those catching up this week. :) I am a bit behind with my Christmas cards but hoping to have a better catch-up session once my trapped nerve sorts itself out - not able to sit for too long at the mo because of the pain. This is not the best situation for a crafter!
I've just managed to draft the blog post for tomorrow but need to go and lie down again now! Think it's definitely an arnica soak in the bath this evening.
This is my card for the deck chair prompt. I think that the Cornishware tea set lends itself to the prompt pretty well.
I hope your trapped nerve gets better soon Nat. I can sympathise with you as I had have 3 months off work at the beginning of the year due to sciatica. I couldn't walk as it was so bad but a lot of physio and excercises eventually sorted it out.
Right. Off to do the next card. I have decided to catch up with the Christmas cards when I have managed to catch up on the rest.
I have all the prompts written out and some crafting time at last, so hopefully I will get some way towards catching up today.
Hooray, amongst other things I have actually made 3 cards in a whole day, woohoo, one of them is nice!!
Pleased to be back at it though and in the groove.

I haven't been keeping up with this, since my son started study leave back in May:o
I wondered if there is a list of all the prompts any where? I know they are all on your blog Nat, but that may take me rather a long time to scroll through all the posts!
Virginia there's not one of your cards that I don't like, the dress is so pretty.
Don't remember seeing your work when I last came on here Alibri, very nice cards there. I night try and blag the ribbon idea, the twinkled sequins look great.
HBD too , you've been catching up, hope to join you soon.
Fiona I can send you an excel file of all the prompts so far. I'm afraid I'm not on my PC much on an evening at the moment and don't have the file on my iPad, but if you PM me your e-mail address I'll get it out to you as soon as I can. :)
Glad to see some familiar faces popping back in here - and I suppose soon many of you cardmakers will be ramping up your Christmas card production. I am just thankful I have made 33 so far! I feel like polishing my halo, but I'm sure my mum will be freeing me of a good chunk of those cards! ;)
Virginia, I love your card with the dress on it. Was it very difficult? It looks so special. I would love to make something like that for my daughter in law.
Hi scrappyJan,
I used a decoupage sheet for the dress card. It is Docrafts Papermania Lucy Cromwell
Die Cut Decoupage, Garden Party.
It was really enjoyable and easy to make. I hope you manage to make a card using it for your daughter in law.
I have a day off today and the weather is terrible so a perfect excuse to catch up on a few more cards. Two more made with quite a lot to go but I will get them done!
week 29 card using the Nordic colours red, white and grey.
week 30 card using my favourite brand core-dinations incorporating my favourite style at the moment, steampunk.
Here is my Ribbon banner card. I have to say, I am quite pleased with this one although I don't know anyone who is getting married to give it to! It will have to sit in my box of cards until it is needed.
Here are some of my cards from the last few weeks:

Nat.
As usual your cards are lovely. The only thing is, I now want to buy myself a set of the fresh cut floral stamp sets and dies that you have been using lately! Oh well. It is about time I treated myself again!
Here is my week 32 card using the prompt 'blue' although it did seem to turn out a bit blue and pink.
I'm still plodding away with my cards. that only problem is, I'm not a quick crafter. I tend to spend a lot of time shuffling paper and embellishments around. I am still really enjoying the challenge though. I have dropped a lot behind with the Christmas cards but there's always to to catch up.
All things Birthday.
I thought that I would try to use up all of my bits and pieces on this card so used another die cut set from Papermania. I couldnt get a very good photograph as the glitter kept reflecting the flash. It is very pink though!
yet another card using the papermania die cuts.
Perfect for the layers prompt.
A thank you card using my postcard embossing folder and My Minds Eye 'Lost and Found' bunting stamps.
Virginia, I love your postcard embossing folder. Can you tell me what brand it is please?
Hi ScrappyJan
Its a Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations folder. I love it and have used it quite a lot.
My steampunk card using kraft and red along with cream and black.
Thanks for the info Virginia.
Wow, what a fab catch-up! I think my favourite has to be week 35. :)
I like week 35 too, that embossing folder looks fab :-)
Somehow, even after my big catch up, suddenly I find myself behind again :blink: here is my week 36 kraft and one colour :lol:
Wendy
2 more cards done today. I know one is Christmas but glitter just lends itself to Christmas cards.
Hooray!!!! I have finally caught up.......until Monday!
Here is my card incorporating a speech bubble. I found exactly the right stamps to use in my stash.
Now I think I will go and catch up with some Christmas cards.
Well done on the speech bubble, looks fab, I have no clue as to how to approach that one :lol:
Here is my week 38 - glitter I don't do glitter..... but I am using up 6" paper pads and found one that had some glittery papers in. I had to go and lie down in a darkened room afterwards...... :lol:
Wendy
Hello Ladies - it feels soooooo long and way too long since I last logged into here. I don't want to see what week was my last make. Cardmaking has been sadly missing in my life lately. School holidays and a month spent with a bad back have put paid to the amount of time I've had crafting. That and a worryingly lack of wanting to as well:(
Had a massive look back at all the posts and as usual have been so inspired! Stupid really, can't think - look here, simples!
Well done everyone for some wonderful creations, I hope to continue and hopefully even catch up with this, I love this challenge and am sad I've not managed to keep up. Onwards and upwards.
Lovely to see you back Lilli and hope you are back on track with your crafting soon. :)
I've just drafted the post for tomorrow's prompt so that might be a nice one to start back on.
I can't believe we only have 12 more prompts left to go! Eeek!
Thanks Nat
Thanks Nat
one of those is heartfelt :wub:
the other is me poking my tongue at the reminder of the lack of weeks in the year! this time of the year the weeks seriously fly!!!!
:P
Lol, well... I was a bit shocked myself to realise how many weeks were left. Lol
only 12!!!! Eek :)
Here is my take on the sketch, can't remember now what week it was!! The papers are My Minds Eye, I think.
Wendy
Week 40 - the umbrellas were in nice shades of Autumn, I thought, so have gone with those colours for these two cards :)
Wendy
Lovely cards Wendy. Those backgrounds are fab!
What lovely cards. Wendy those last two are beautiful, I love the colours.
Like you Lilli there has been very little crafting from me. I really miss it though and worst of all I haven't even started on my charity Christmas cards yet. Life really does get in the way of crafting doesn't it.:rolleyes:
I have dropped behind again .... here is week 41 'pointy' :lol:
Wendy
I've been awol for ages I know, I did jot down the last three challenges, did the leaves and pink one last night posted it today, and er, forgot to get a photo/scan it, doh. Sorry girls. Was so good to see HBD at the ATDML retreat, at first I couldn't remember where I knew you from Wendy, then slowly it dawned. I knew it must be UKS somewhere.
Going back to see what you've been doing :)
Well I see I'm not the only one to have backslid!! Quality is up, up, up, even if quantity is not the same in the no of participants. Nat, I do appreciate the effort involved in the prep of all these challenges even if you don't see results from us. thank you.
Well done you two (Wendy and Virginia) for keeping things ticking over here.
Gorgeous cards girls.
I have loads to do for Nov, so you never know....
Well, we're nearing the home straight. This week's prompt is up and will be particularly welcome to those that requested a "digi" theme in the past. ;)
quite a challenge for me!
Me too usually as I'm not at all a digi crafter, in fact had to buy a new set of cartridges fir the printer after over a year of no use. ;)
I see it's been a bit dead on the thread - how is everyone's cardmaking coming along in general?
I have had some trimmer issues and was on the brink of chucking my Cutterpede out the window, but decided to see if my beloved Making Memories trimmer was indeed dead after it started distressing my cuts rather than cutting them. I gave it a few goes on some PTI cardstock and it's now cutting again - not quite as perfect as it once was, but much better. Also a Fiskars trimmer I had just about given up on after really dodgy cuts is now cutting much more accurately... That's at least saved some expense and frustration of finding yet another "perfect" trimmer.
I was rather pleased so got to work on a special card project I can't share until after it's been delivered and received...
