Challenge 18 ... Going Green ...

Wow! ... it's May already!  
Regular visitors to Humbug Hall know that the first challenge of a new month brings the chance of winning a super-dooper prize ... and we have selected another real beauty for one lucky random winner.  BUT more of that later because first we'd like you to join us in extending a warm Humbug welcome to Karen - Serendipity Dragonfly and Clare - Miscanthus Crafts.   
Welcome ladies xxx
We just know you are going to love their submissions for this week's challenge as much as we do and no doubt there will be a lot more crafty goodness to look forward to over the next few weeks.  So on to the challenge ... which is
Recycling or Shades of Green
You may choose one of the options or alternatively you can combine them - whatever you like.  We really don't mind.
Thousands of UK kids received their first introduction to 'recycling' when watching the likes of Blue Peter and The Wombles on TV.   Many a toilet roll holder, washing-up liquid bottle and ... to the despair of mothers everywhere ... kitchen table, was transformed beyond recognition with the help of paint, glue and strategically placed tissue paper!  AND you couldn't even begin to guess at the wonders that were achieved with wire coathangers and tinsel!   
Following our Springclean at Humbug Hall, (and because many of us are having to tighten our crafty belts at the moment), we thought it would be a good idea this week to challenge everyone to do their own little bit of 'Wombling' or in other words - recycle some of the items you have begged, stolen or borrowed, with good intentions of using, then sadly left neglected and forgotten in a corner somewhere.  We know you're just itching to see what the Humbuggers and our Guest Designers have created this week so take a look below.  If you'd like to know more details about this week's DT projects, or just want to leave some love for Ann, Max, Karen and Clare,  please click on the links above each image to visit their personal blogs.  
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday  13th May 2011
 *********************
As promised, here is a picture of the prize we have on offer for this challenge.  How much would you love to have this jolly Santa in your sticky little fingers?  Yeah ... bet you would!  Well you know what you have to do.
One random winner will be selected from all the entries to this week's challenge. 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.
Love 
Ann and Max

PS: The winner of the LOFTY stamp set in celebration of the Royal Wedding will be announced over the weekend.  Watch this space and good luck if you were one of the entrants.

    Here is a bit of something for this week's challenge. I am sneaking in just under the wire.

    I hope all is well with you. Summer has hit in full force here in Georgia. I had to drag out the air conditioner today as it is now 90 degrees on a regular basis (at least 105 inside without the air on).

    Thank you for another wonderful bit of inspiration.

    Hi Everyone,

    Wow I am just in time for this, and blogger has finally decided to play ball and let me post my card and the link here.

    Ann, Max I also sent you a email begging for help, but think it may be sorted now.

    Any how here is my card

    Blogger is definitely unpopular  at the moment - have just discovered that my last post has gone to hyperspace, so here's hoping this one stays home................you must be psychic, extending the deadline by 2 days..................

    Oooh me too Donna, glad I came back to check although blogger did say it was restoring all the missing posts & comments, not sure how much faith we have left in them though!

    Here's mine!

    Not sure if I needed to relink lades but I have. I don't expect you to leave double comments though (unless you're very bored lol!)

    I can't believe I didn't come back and check to see that Blogger hadn't eaten my post. It was still on my site so I assumed it stayed here.

    Have a look even if it is too late to do anything about it.

    Now I'm really ticked off at Mr. Blogger.

    Oopsies! My mom's comment was "eaten" as well. (Ruth at Celtic Crafters) She posted it last Wednesday, but because we went out of town Thursday we couldn't check. I know she'd love for you to see it. Thanks ladies! (And thank you for the well wishes!)
