Today is Royal Wedding Day
although only someone in hibernation could be unaware that Katie and Will are getting hitched as Royal Wedding Fever has well and truly hit the UK this week. Flags and bunting can be seen at every turn and mementos of all kinds are being snapped up before they even hit the shop shelves. Possibly in the hope that they'll one day be worth loads'a'money or maybe just as a souvenir of a happy event to share with generations to come. Parties are being organised and there's a fantastic holiday atmosphere with lots of smiley faces to be seen wherever you go. People will no doubt be celebrating well into the early hours ... and beyond! ... so fortunately, as this is a Bank Holiday weekend, it's leaving plenty of time for recovery for those who're going to overindulge.
We Humbuggers are not ones to pass up the chance of a wee 'drinky-poo' ... hahahahaha ... so we'll be dusting off our crystal glasses, filling them with jolly juice and toasting the happy couple, (repeatedly), to wish them every happiness for the future together.
Adding to all this partying and hi-jinks, we have our own little souvenir of todays Right Royal Celebration on offer to one lucky random person who enters this week's challenge of
Pleats and Ruffles
A super Joanna Sheen stamp set featuring Beefeater Lofty is up for grabs and all you have to do to be included in this special draw, is to indicate your interest when you submit your challenge entry, by starting your comment with 'LOFTY'. NB: Only those entries marked as interested will be considered for this prize.
NOW ...
At the risk of putting a bit of a damper on the celebrations, we have to announce that this is the final challenge week for our April Guest Designers, Kelly and Veronica, so stop waving those flags for a minute and join us in thanking them for providing wonderful inspiration during their stay at Humbug Hall. We hope they have both enjoyed sharing their talents with everyone and will continue to participate in our up'n'coming challenges in 2011. Meanwhile, just take a look at their final DT examples below. If you'd like to know more details about this week's DT projects, or just want to leave some love for Ann, Kelly and Veronica, please click on the links above each card to visit their personal blogs.
**You'll notice that a certain Humbugger's name is missing again this week ...blush... but that's because there's been far too much time spent practising toasting skills and curtsies outside in the sunshine and not enough time in the craftroom - whoopsie - **

Hi folks,
ReplyDeleteStruggled with this one as hubby and I are packing to return home to Blighty tomorrow - I realised that this card isn't strictly pleated or ruffled so I'll understand if you have to disallow it but I have limited stash and couldn't come up with anything else which hadn't already been done. I'll leave it to you, my fellow Humbug-ers! here’s my entry”
Beautiful DT cards. Can't wait to see all the other ladies' cards.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine:

Hugs x Chris B
Phew, I made it! That Lofty is so cute! Shouldn't have been, but this was tougher for me than usual, ladies but HERE'S my card. xxD (Hope I did that right, my eyeballs are buggy! LOL)
ReplyDeleteMorning Ladies,
ReplyDeleteFab inspirations as always. Sadly I haven't made a card yet so I will miss the deadline but if you don't mind I will still do the challenge & link it up. I know if I let this one go, I'll lose my momentum & all my hard work so far will be in vain. Should be back on the ball next week as life calms down (hopefully!).
Hugs,
Abi xx
OOPS! Well look how long it's taken me ladies but at least I will have the ultimate satisfaction of knowing I did(eventually) make a Christmas card every week lol!
ReplyDeleteBetter late then never!!
