Challenge # 37 : Pink Cards for Breast Cancer

Hilde says:

I have previously had Breast cancer myself about 10 years ago now, and it's come back, but I am fighting it hard, it's been detected early enough to attack it with medication only at this point...so God willing that is all it will take.....

So as you can see, this subject is very close to my heart...

Never give up I say, I have too much to live for, and who else is going to tell my husband what to do, if I am not around? LOL...oh yeah..

Our sponsor for this challenge is Sami Stamps,

Winner's Blog for Challenge #28: Zentangle Card Challenge

Well, Hello Peeps and welcome to our Challenge Blog - this is our post mid-fortnight to announce the winners of the previous Challenge and any other news there is.......

Last Challenge was to Zentangle  and then to create a Black and White card using that tangle: you could tangle freehand or within a digi or other stamp outline, as many of our DT team did - we had fun too and some of us are still 'tangelling' as a result of this challenge - and so are many others out there in blog land, but unfortunately, not many crafters did it for this challenge!

Our sponsor for this amazing challenge were

Winner will receive 3 Digis of their choice

Really love the way the special number birthday was framed and the black and white Zentangle was made the centre of attention. ( great patterns too)

How cool is that one! Love those owls!

Ladies, Congratulations to you all - please contact us via the tab at the top of this page, and don't forget to collect your badge and display it proudly! Remember, we are looking for Guest Designers as well so if you are keen, let us know asap!

Well, what are we up to this fortnight?

Challenge # 29 : ATC's or Artist Trading Cards - a group/set of 3

In this challenge we are asking you to create 3 ATC's, as a group or a set......that means they match.

If you think phhhffttt, not going to do this one, please re consider, because even if you are not an ATC fan, they do make the perfect card toppers.....so please, give them a go...

What exactly IS an ATC?

An artist trading card (or ATC for short) is a tiny, original piece of art created with the intention of swapping or trading it with another artist, not selling it. Today, people make them and use them as toppers for cards. The one rule an artist trading card must adhere to is the size. An ATC must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches or 64 x 89 mm. Click here for some more basic info on them.

Again, we have two wonderful Sponsors for this challenge:

Pickled Potpourri

Winner ONE will receive a voucher of $7.00 to spend in the store


and QKR


Winner TWO will receive 3 Digis of their choice

The DT had a ball making these, why not go and have a look if you haven't seen them yet. Then you can show us what you come up with - I know many of you have been making these for yonks! Why not share your skills and who knows, you could be a winner!

Remember, be a member of our blog to be eligible for the prize.

Challenge # 27: Pegs

This fortnight we do have a challenge with a difference - and that is: PEGS! 

We mainly mean the wooden ones - small, large or the dolly pegs. 

Whatever takes your fancy.

They can be decorative; useful - such as magnets or just to hold things; could be on a card; or something else. Let your imagination roam. 

We do not have a sponsor for this one so the winner will receive a surprise gift from me (Hilde), yeah!!

Another bit of news:

300 follower candy.

Once we reach 300 followers, I will do a random select and that person will receive a surprise gift.

So that could be you!! 

If you are a follower that is.....

Winners Post for Challenge # 23: Make something for Easter

I am very late for our regular post of winners (sorry)

for

 Challenge# 23

Make something for Easter 

it could be a card or it could be a scrap book layout, Easter basket, anything.....

I have a house full of grandchildren, and their parents  and life just gets away. So lovely to see them all, all the same

Now, we have two really generous sponsors for this challenge - so here are the two winners chosen by Hilde

Squigglefly

The winner is:   # 70 Jane Savage 

 I love all the details of the baskets and the Daffodils, the cute Meljens image, a perfect Easter creation 

and Bugaboo

The winner is: # 63 Jennifer Scull

This beautiful elegant and colourful card depicts why we  celebrate Easter, just lovely

TOP THREE

These are chosen by Ina today - her last job on the team as she is leaving us to concentrate on the family - we will miss her a great deal!

My Goodness - what a task. Hilde 'pinched' one of my picks but there were so many others I had to go to and fro to only pick 3.

#2 - Karen H.

An absolutely gorgeous box that I would love to have filled with chocolates on my dining room table for me to indulge in over Easter. A beautiful piece of work and in my favourite colours.

#67 - Sandra.

 I loved all the embellishments added to this beautiful card. The layout is fabulous and the soft colours so pretty. The attention to detail is superb.

#3 - Dream Laine. 

Again the attention to detail caught my eye. Beautifully laid out in gorgeous bright colours perfect for Spring. So pleasing to the eye.

I also give a Highly Commended to #5 - Leanne. 

Her card was such a lovely cas one, showing us the true meaning of Easter and the bling just finished it of beautifully.

We hope every one had a great Easter break and enjoyed the festivities and the reason for the season!  I hope the Easter Bunny left a lot of chocolate behind him  - I know we are currently feeling the effects of chocolate overload at our house but that is all part of it, isn't it. Well, now moving on to our current challenge

Challenge # 24: Mothers day/ or Special Lady

Our Theme for this fortnight is
