Hello, Ruth here with the Top Honours for the May Pick A Previous Sketch Challenge.   Thanks so much to those who took part, we had amazing entries, everyone did wonderful work with our sketches!  The voting was extremely close - so close in fact that we have a tie for the top spot.  So, without further ado, here are our Joint Winners and 4 Honourable Mentions.

Hello all, it's Ruth here to announce the Top Honours awarded for the May 'Old, New, Borrowed, Blue' Stash Challenge.  We had many lovely entries so it was tough to choose!  But I have a winner and 4 Honourable Mentions to announce. 

Hi everyone, Ruth here with my final May challenge.  There is a 5th Saturday in the month which means it's time for a Pick a Previous challenge and I'd like you to pick a previous sketch.

Please visit our sketches archive HERE and select any one of the sketches to work with.  You can change shapes, rotate the layout, make a rectangular or square card - as long as the basic layout comes through to us, it's all good!  Don't forget to tell us which sketch you selected!

Hello, Ruth here with the winners of the May recipe challenge.   My goodness, the voting was very close and we have a tie for the top spot!  So we have joint winners and 4 honourable mentions to announce.

Hello folks, Ruth here again with another Christmas card challenge at 52 {C}CT and it's time for a stash challenge.  I love it when I can use a new stash item with an oldie but goodie stash item.  I'm fortunate to have crafty friends who I can borrow items from - or more often swap items with.  So mulling over old, new and borrowed led me to thinking of the wedding tradition of "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue" and my May stash challenge was decided on! 

It would be great if you could use all 4 categories but if that's not possible, please do use at least 2 of the categories for creating your Christmas card. 

Hello, Ruth here to announce the winner's of the May colour challenge.  You all must have been enjoying life outside in the sunshine as opposed to making Christmas cards indoors as we had just a few entrants again!  So we have a winner and an honourable mention to announce.

Ruth here welcoming you to a new weekly challenge at 52 {C}CT.  I do love a recipe challenge and I hope you enjoy this one I've come up with!  It's a C.A.R.D. recipe and I'm asking you to:

• COLOUR something in (an outline image or sentiment)
• ADD RHINESTONES and/or RIBBON (use rhinestones or ribbon or use both)
• DEBOSS (use the recessed side of a piece of CS you've embossed with a folder rather than the raised side)

It's time to announce the winners of the May sketch challenge.  You must have been busy with other activities that week as we didn't have many participants.  There's still time to enter this week's colour combo challenge - you know it makes sense to keep topping up the Christmas card stash!  So this week we've got just a Winner and an Honourable Mention to announce. 

Hi everyone, Ruth here again with a new May challenge - this week it's a colour combo challenge.  We want you to use at least 3 of the colours from the graphic below.  Neutrals (white, cream or black) and hints of silver and gold can be added in too - but please do not include any extra colours that are not in the graphic.
