Well done to you all. You may pick up your badges from the tab at the top of the page; we hope you'll be proud to display them on your blogs.

Remember, you can still join in our current challenge to use yellow, kraft and gold for a Christmas or wintry card. All the details can be found here. We'd love to see what you create.

May - Colours

Hello again,

It's time for a colour challenge! I think the colour challenges may be my favourites, they open up so many options. This time we have what I think is quite an unusual combination - yellow, kraft and gold. Not traditional, but there are so many ways to use these together when you start thinking about it. I hope you have lots of fun creating with this trio.

To whet your appetite, we have a wonderful selection of ideas and inspiration from our design team:

Myrna Sweet

Fabiola

Alison

Deborah

You have until Friday 2nd June, midnight BST/ 7pm EDT to enter your card to the challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

May - Sketch

Hello there,

It's Lucinda here hosting the Christmas Card Throwdown for May. We're kicking off with a fantastic sketch challenge - you can use any shape, but we want to see multiple layers on your Christmas/Winter cards. There are so many ways to use this idea, I can't wait to see what you come up with.
