Sorry for delay....

I did these at the begining of the month, so here's my challenge....the theme is halloween/Autumn....and I'm attaching three versions of the idea I had....lets see what you come up with

[paper2go]

There is a free Halloween download sheet that you my find useful at www.paper2go.co.uk. Various backgrounds, solids and outlines.

Hi,

Had a play to see what I could come up with. Here's my attempt. The folding is supposed to look like a sunset, (hubby said it does). The cobweb was designed in Inkscape and cut on the Robo along with the house.

Hope you like.

That is lovely - nice and colourful!

I am struggling with the folding - might have to improvise

[Elsonbabe]

Fantastic card Erika...love the colours and the effect is brill...

I didn't actually mean for you all to try the iris folding...it was the three in a row effect, probably should have said that....more may have attempted something....I used the iris folding as I wanted to put effect with the plain die cuts...but you could use three different things, leafs, buttons etc....hth's

[craftymama]

Yes Joy that helps, I've been looking through my books for help with the folding! Might be able to do this challenge after all.

[Janice]

Ahhhhhh thats ok, I can do that then Will give this a bash over the weekend

[CraftyPrincess]

I made an Iris folding instruction sheet once, I'll have a dig around my comp see if it's still on my hard drive. I've done some with ribbon before too, that looks good and great for using up little bits.

*edit, I've found the sheet and attached it bellow. If you print it out choose scale to A4 on your print preferences because if you print it in the browser it chops it up, I just found that out

sorry didn't do this weeks challenge although the cards I have seen are really lovely, has week 4's challenge been posted yet

[Sharon Betts]

Likewise - hectic week last week, dh away, football practice mon eve for boys, my eve class tue, parents eve thur, ds birthday, my mum's birthday. I started the challenge, printed out papers from paper2go, cut out the bits, but it never progressed beyond that. I may finish this week sometime, and post it then! Better late than never!

[Janice]

I think we are changing the day of posting the new challenge up Margaret as Ching has pc troubles and needs to do the uploading from work.

Stillhoping to get a card done this week to meet the challenge

[MargaretD]

I hope I'm not too late to upload these cards. The tall one is for this challenge, but the other was done a couple of weeks ago. I thought I'd put it on as it's a halloween one.
