Hi peeps and hope you are all OK and that you are having a nice week so far.
I’m ever so sorry we are a bit late today – I went out and got back late and thought I'd scheduled the post but I hadn't!!!

A huge thank you to everybody who joined in last week –  your black and white + creations were stunning  : )

So who was our winner then ?

Woohooo Sandra this week it’s you chick :)

Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll pass your details on to Mary & Andrea and hugest of thanks to  The Ribbon Girl for sponsoring us xxx

And check out what Sandra did peeps …..

… she went for a classy black and white and silver combi : )

OK, onto this week and as it’s the last one of the month we have a little sketchie for you and …

... here it is - sketch #95

But as we are doing now,  if you would prefer to use another sketch, then please feel free to use any Papertake Weekly sketch you fancy because we have another ...

Sketchie Free For All

All you have to do is to use any PTW sketch (it MUST be one of ours please) and just add the number of the sketch you’ve chosen when you post the link back to us :)

To make life a bit easier, we now have a sketches page at the top here so there are a fair old few to choose from.
Hopefully this will save you having to go back through the archives to find one that you like :)

As always, please feel free to resize, flip and rotate the elements - as long as you can still see the sketch, it’s completely fine so fill yer boots!!!

And of course, as it’s the last challenge of the month, we are sponsored by those fabulous people across the pond.

Yes it’s the one and only and utterly fab

Hi peeps and hope you are all OK and that you are having a nice week so far.

A huge thank you to everybody who joined in last week – there were some fabulous interpretations of  our sketches

So who was our winner then ?

Woohooo Hazel – kbrandy4 this week it’s you chick :)

Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll pass your details on to Heidi and hugest of thanks to Simon Says Stamp for sponsoring us xxx

And check out what Hazel did peeps …...

…. a fabulous take on sketch #61…..

… and I love the shaped card and image she used : )

Now onto this week and as it’s the first one of the month we have our usual

Anything Goes

theme and this month’s optional extra is to  make a treat holder or gift for Halloween.

But remember this is only an option and if you don’t want to use this theme then you don’t have to.
The main thing is to let loose your creative stuff and make a card that pleases YOU :)

As our regulars will know, the first challenge of the month is sponsored by the lovely Lisa & Laila over at

Lili of The Valley

And they have given us a …

… to give to one lucky winner.

And with so much to choose from in the shop, one lucky girlie is going to be spoiled for choice!!!!

Hugest of thanks for a fabulous prize :)xxx

Before we get to our cards, I have some very sad news.
After 4 years with us, our Lisa has decided to step down because she has so much gong on right now.
To say I am gutted is an understatement because the work she does is without doubt some of the most unique and original I have ever seen, not to mention gorgeous.
We wish you well chick and thanks you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for our challenge.
Papertake will not be quite the same without you xxx

And now without further ado, let’s see what our fabulous team have done ….
