Challenge 10... Apertures...

Well you certainly got March off to a great start wth the wonderful submissions to our Embossing Challenge and consequently, we were the ones who ended up being SPOILED STUPID!   Such talent and creativity cannot go unrewarded, so all the entries have been put into our Bah! Humbug! Prize Draw hat ...  one lucky random winner of the promised Dreamweaver tree stencil will be selected and announced over the weekend.  Good luck to you all.
Meanwhile, we have another challenge to be getting on with and this week we'd like to see some luvverly projects using 
Apertures
Once again we are joined by our fabulous Guest Designers Fiona and Judith, who, we're sure you'll agree, have produced some gorgeous examples as inspiration, along with our very own Humbugger Ann.    
If you'd like to know more details about this week's DT projects, or leave some love for Ann, Judith and Fiona,  please click on the links above each card to visit their personal blogs.
Ann at 'Just for Fun'


*********************
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 17th March 2011
 *********************
You are free to create whatever you like ... it doesn't have to be a card ... in fact, show us as many different Christmas Projects as you want to share.  
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity. 

Ann and Max xxx

**Message from Max**
I'm champing at the bit to return and play along with you all, but in the meantime, am enjoying seeing all your wonderful work.  My wrist, hand and finger movements are all still very restricted and progress is frustratingly slow.  However, I'm doing the physio exercises every day and hoping to rejoin the team soon.   Thanks to everyone for the lovely messages and kind concern you have shown - they really help to brighten my days.

    Ladies, your projects are amazing and beautiful! Always inspiring! Max, I hope you are feeling better and back soon. I don't have an entry this week :-( Real Life has been hyperactive this week, actually in a good way, so I haven't been in my studio all week. Hopefully I can go to my island of creativity soon. Love you all!

    Lovely to hear an update from you Max. It is great to hear that you are at the 'Physio' stage but as with any physio, getting movement back it is never quick enough. Thinking of you xx
    Terribly late with my entry. .. but as they say, better late than never. Totally superb DT creations .. My entry can be found

    I had meant to get a card made this week, - I even bought some bits on Saturday. I took advantage of the nice weather on Sunday and was out walking & have not felt like crafting in the evenings after work. I may still make the card that I had intended (who knows it may fit in with another challenge later in the year :) )
