Challenge 76 - Celebrate!

Challenge 76 - Celebrate

This month our challenge theme is 'Celebrate'. We want to see your creations that are celebrating - they can be a celebration of the new year, birthdays, anniversaries, anything you like! We can't wait to see all your celebration entries and see how you all celebrate in style :D

Nicole

I created this layout to celebrate some of the simple moments in life and how silly little moments can be so full of memories! 

Jaine
I used two of my favourite digi kits from 2012 which are Say Cheese and New Directions plus a dashed border and ink splats from the digital journaling kit to celebrate my family.

Claireliz

I created this birthday card using Sarah's Steampunk Collection & some chipboard stars...

Lisa

My card is for a 21st Birthday and was created using scraps left over from a mix of Sarah's kits (I think Craft Basics and Santa's Workshop!). The badge, doily, and chipboard shapes are all from Sarah's Etsy store.

Carol

My card is for someone who has passed their driving test. I used a fab mini digi stamp from the Britannia kit, coloured it and layered it onto a map. The black and white honeycomb paper and the "chequered flag" are from Black & White Scrap Basics.

Elaine

My card is to celebrate the New Year by bringing to some cheer to one of my friends. I used the English Country Garden kit and Butterflies from the Fairyland Craft CD. 

Sharon

My card is a birthday card for a Paris mad friend! I used the I Love Paris kit which was perfect. I love the teal paper with little Eiffel Towers.

Jess

This is my challenge entry. You can't see in the New Year without 'a wee dram', so I've created a little favour box which secretly holds a Whiskey miniature!!!!!! I've used papers from the fabulous Pic Nic In The Park Digi Kit, some die cut shapes and a loo roll middle!! Hope you like it.

Candice

This is a birthday gift bag and what better way to celebrate than

with a handmade treat!

I used a little bit of the Valentine line coming up along with

Retro Home journaling tag, Steampunk phrase tags, and some Curio mixed in there.

Natalie

I went stamp crazy! Made this card using Sarah's black ink pad, her laser cut embellishments and Retro Home Kit scraps.

Challenge 75 - Christmas!

The theme this month is of course, Christmas! maybe a cliche, but for me, this really is the most wonderful time of the year and I can't wait to browse all of your beautiful Christmas projects over a nice cup of hot chocolate! :o)

Here is the inspiration from my lovely Design Team...

Elaine

Sharon

I made a gift box using paper and embellishments from Santa's Workshop and a template from Craft Artist.

Jaine

I used the Santa's Workshop kit to make my card and layered some of the pieces up to add dimension.

Claireliz

I made this really quick little Christmas card using Sarah's Santa's Workshop collection. I just printed out the Polaroid photos of Santa & friends really small (2in x 2in) then attached them to the card with foam pads & added a little Merry Christmas banner.

Nicole

I used the Christmas Craft Basics star paper to creat the perfect background for a little Christmas scene! The paper especially the colour was just perfect for this!

Lisa

I have used papers from both the Tinseltown and Santas Workshop kit to create a traditional coloured Christmas card.

Carol

I used papers from Tinsletown and Documented December Daily to create an inside out card, the from and back are blank with all the details inside. There is more information on my blog.

Clare

All elements used are from Sarah's Santas workshop kit...love it!

Candice

These are a set of gift card holders using various Sarah Hurley Christmas Designs.

I mixed a little bit of everything just to give a layered design!

Challenge 74 - Remember, remember the 5th of November...

Hello! Natalie here with this month's challenge

Fireworks and Bright Colours!

We're really looking forward to seeing all your lovely projects full of fireworks and bursting with colour! Just to inspire you, the design team has come up with some fantastic creations. Have a look below and then get creating!!

Nicole

I created a notebook using the fantastic Curio Kit. I printed onto the outside and inside of the cover pages. I then filled the notebook with lots of different coloured pages (and different sizes too). It is a firework of colour!! I created the cover by digitally layering some elements from the kit over some of the papers. I also added some digital firework bursts onto the papers.This makes for a very fun and colourful notebook!

You can see more photos on my blog.

Claireliz

I've mixed up several of Sarah's kits to create this layout, I've used papers from Tinseltown, Fairyland & Witching Hour, along with a Say Cheese Journaling card. I have a fear of fireworks & I was lying on the ground in a safe place to take photos of the fireworks exploding in the sky, one of the fireworks blew off course & exploded about 3ft above me, I may have kept my eyes shut but I managed to keep my finger on the shutter button on the camera.

Jaine

I used Witching Hour to create my firework inspired journal page. 

Lisa

I used papers from Craft Basics to create this Fireworks inspired card.

Carol

I used the  Oz kit and the hot air balloon from the Woodland Whimsies kit to create this scene from The Wizard of Oz.  I use a wee bit of artistic license and set it at night time so there would be lovely sparkly fireworks. You can read how I created it on my blog.

 Elaine

I used the Fairyland kit for my focal papers to make a colourful cheerful bookmark with magnets each side to keep your page safe! 

Sharon

I've made an ATC celebrating my inner witch who comes to celebrate Halloween with me every year!I used Doodle Dolls Collage Kit with the cat and note tag from Witching Hour and a firework background drawn with my UniPosca pens.

Clare

I've made a fun tag using papers,sentiments and ghost image for Sarah's Witching Hour Collection. Bats are die cuts and the ribbon is from my stash.

You have until 25th November to post your entries - we can't wait to see what you create!
