Can Anyone Help Please

Ever since Hotmail decided to change itself to Outlook I have been having problems with the comments on my blog.  I have comment moderation set but I'm not receiving email's for all of the comments that have been left - I get some but not others.

I was beginning to think that I had done something to offend everyone because I wasn't receiving many comments, but when I went to investigate they were all sitting there 'Awaiting moderation' although I had not received any email notifications - has any one else had this problem, if so did they manage to resolve it!

All Dressed Up

As another new week begins it's time for a new challenge at Ooh La La Creations, our theme for this fortnight is - Green and Orange - you don't have to use an Ooh La La Creations product but we love it when you do.

I have used a fabulous image from the Ooh La La Creations  - All Dressed Up CD, you've probably noticed that I like this CD rather a lot - you can purchase it from the Ooh La La Creations online shop.

The image and green patterned paper are both from the All Dressed Up CD and the orange paper is from another Ooh La La Creations CD - I'm sorry I've forgotten which one.   I have layered them onto Core'dinations card stock and punched a border along one edge.  The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment is LOTV, I have also added some hand made card candy to the top left hand corner but it doesn't show up very well.

I have decorated the inside of my card using the same papers and  layout as the front.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 200 - Mother's Day/Female
Shelly's Images Challenge - Anything Goes

A Strange Request

My husband asked me to make a card for him, that in itself is unusual but then he told me what the subject was - A TANK - apparently it is the second birthday of the online game World of Tanks!  They are running a competition with lots of prizes for the best birthday cards that are sent in - well I'm always up for a challenge and I knew just where I would find an image of a Tank!

This is the card that I have made for him:

The decoupage image, sentiment and camouflage papers are from my The Best of La Pashe CD, I turn to this CD again and again, there is such a variety of images on it.  The map paper is from a road atlas that I rescued from the bin after my husband had thrown it away and everything has been layered on to black card stock.  The number 2 is a Penny Black stamp, I have heat embossed it and also added some 3D Crystal Lacquer.

I cut out another small tank image and decorated the inside of the card to complement the front, you can also just about see the decoupage layers in this photograph:

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz Challenge 12 - Happy Birthday
Sarah Hurley Challenge 78 - Recycle (map backing paper)
A Gem of a Challenge 72 - On the Move
Creative Card Crew Challenge 32 - Masculine
Creative Corner Challenge 12 - Anything Goes

Happy Easter everyone.
