Good morning all, thank you so much for all of your entries last week but can I say how sorry I am not to have commented on some of the entries but I will put that right during the course of the coming week. I have been quite unwell with a chest infection and haven't been on line much at all, prefering to go to bed early once I'd got in from work. I'm now on another course of antibiotics and hopefully these will do the trick and I'll be fighting fit for this weeks entries.

Last week we said goodbye to Colleen who has done a fab job for us over the last month but as you all know as we say goodbye to one guest we say hello to another and for me this month is a bit of a treat as my sister is joining us, Sue has been enjoying her crafting for a slightly shorter time than I have but she is making some lovely things so we thought it was about time she joined us as a guest.

She has written a bit about herself and I have pinched it off her blog to share with you all, please go over and have a look at what she does, she loves to have visitors and you'll find her here, this is what she says about herself.

I have always held an interest in arts and crafts. I started with dress making and knitting, both came in very handy when I started my family. I started making cards after my mum became interested in it, she made some beautiful cards and gave me some bits to start me off, from there I found scrapbooking and it just took me over. I love digital scrapbooking with serif's craft artist and this has brought me right back to making cards. The more I make the more I want to make and learn all the techniques. I follow lots of blogs for the inspiration, tips and talent that I have found out there hoping to find my forte, I love shabby chic and distressed but as yet have not got it mastered so onward and upward untill I do.

So now we are onto this weeks challenge and as the title says the theme this week is Trees and Shrubs, the team have all come up with something different and our guest just to get off to a flying start has given me three cards to choose from so instead of choosing I'm going to share them all with you.

Good morning all, what a blustery morning we have but it's dry at the moment so maybe I'll get some washing dry.

We had a lovely sweet week last week and your entries were super, and this week we are using colour as our theme but I think Christine may have been influenced by last weeks choice because she has chosen chocolate and cream plus one, see the way her mind was going, eating again.

This week is a bit sad as we are on our last week with our guest Colleen, she has done a sterling job over the last month and we thoroughly enjoyed her stay so will be sad to see her go, so thank you Colleen you've been a star.  We will have a new guest next month so watch this space.

Onto the reason you're all here and this week's challenge, as usual we will start with our guest and once again she has done a great card,. so here we go.

Now our last card is from our old friend Christine, at long last she has come back from her travels and has managed to get a card to us, she won't be back online proper until 3 May but it is good to welcome her home.

 Backing Paper - Sharon Duncan Embossabilties CD 
 It has been a good week for us and I think our samples are all so different so hopefully they will help you along with a touch of inspiration so you can join us.
As usual you need to use a bit of something from a cd but really just have fun with it.
