Sorry for the late post… I left the computer at work this weekend.  With hindsight  it would have been wise to catch up on computer work.

I absolutely love this time of year. I went for a stroll on Sunday at Boxhill, a local beauty spot, with my cousin. It was a gorgeous day and I pointed out the sunlight filtering through the trees onto the leaves, highlighting the stunning yellows, browns, oranges and reds that are just starting to turn from the deep greens we are used to in this Country.

Well she looked at me like I was crazy lol.

 I absolutely love living in the countryside and love to stop and look around. Now I do it from choice rather than when Mum dragged us out, whatever the weather, when we were children.

So the theme for October is ‘Autumn’

I hope to see lots of rich colours or sepia tones on your cards.

*Everyone did so well with the uploads last month I’m keeping it the same again.

A BIG Thank you to everyone who entered Hobby Art’s December blog Challenge.  The entries are really gorgeous and we can see so much time and effort has gone into everyone. I’m so glad we use a random number generator because choosing between them would be so difficult.

So the Random Number Generator chose…

The winner this month is…

Julie Wilson – £50 Gift Voucher (to be used on stamps)

We will be contacting the winner.

You can see all the entries below.

 To all entrants Thank you for all your hard work!

The challenge for January is ‘Bright & Happy’ because at the beginning of the new year there is so much to look forward to with the year ahead. And Happiness really can mean so many different things to each of us.

We will put a sample card, or two, onto the blog during the next day, or two, to give you some inspiration. Hope you find time to ‘have a go’.

A BIG Thank you to everyone who entered Hobby Art’s first ever blog Challenge.  The entries are amazing. Really inspiring.

We instantly had a problem when we looked at the cards/projects. The problem was that the standard was so high it would have been almost impossible to choose one winner.

 In the end we decided that the fairest way of doing it , as lots of other Challenge blogs do, is to use a Random number Generator.  This means that everyone has an equal chance of winning and also has the bonus of saving us stress trying to pick out one from all the fantastic  projects! So this is what we will do with further Challenges too.

The winner this month is……..

1st Winner – £30 Gift Voucher goes to Julia Bettinson.

 Second prize is…………

2nd Winner – Stamp set of choice goes to Sonia Murphy.

We will be contacting winners later today.

You can see all the entries below and also on the Hobby Art blog.

Thanks for all your hard work.
