Challenge 68...Red & Green

Good morning everyone...we are entering such a busy time for everyone now but is great to see that you are still joining in our challenges and we must thank everyone who entered last weeks gift card challenge...we loved seeing all the different styles of gift cards that you created and Kathrin had the difficult task of picking the top 5 but you'll have to pop back later to see who has been chosen and also to see who has won the $20 gift voucher donated by Soft Pencil digital images!

****************************************

Now it's time to move onto this weeks challenge which is...

***RED & GREEN***

This weeks theme has been chosen by design team member Liza and she wants us to use red and green on our cards! Now...if we were celebrating Easter shortly we'd all struggle with this theme but seeing as Christmas is just around the corner we are sure you'll have no trouble using these two colours together lol! If you need any inspiration the design team have provided plenty and if you want to find out how they made their projects you can click on their name above their creation to go directly to their individual blogs! Please do pop over and leave a comment on their personal blogs...they would really appreciate you stopping by!

****************************************

We are pleased to welcome back The Creative Cottage as our sponsor this week and if you have not visited their blog yet you don't know what you are missing!

They create the most fantastic digital kits that have a selection of funky design papers and elements all of which are suitable for either scrapbooking or cardmaking! Their current kits have the cutest little robins, a fairy and forest friends and even Cupcakes to tempt you! They have recently launched paper packs without the extra elements so you can just purchase the design papers on their own. Their kits are great value as you get to print the papers and elements whenever you need them so you'll never run out of your favourite papers!

The Creative Cottage are offering one lucky winner the chance to win TWO of their digital kits this week!

Good morning everyone...the weeks just seem to be whizzing by at the moment and we are hurtling towards Christmas at a fast rate of knots lol!

****************************************

Now it's time to move onto this weeks challenge which is...

***A GIFT CARD HOLDER***

Design team member Kathrin has chosen this weeks theme and it's perfect timing for us to create a project for the gift cards we give over the festive period...they're normally presented in a gift card purchased in store in a plain white envelope...how nice would it be to present to them in a custom made holder...all the more special don't you think? If like some of the DT you haven't made a gift card holder before we have included a link here for you but you can of course just customise an ordinary card by making a wallet inside...the choice is completely yours!

The design team have provided oodles of inspiration for you this week and if you want to find out how they made their projects you can click on their name above their creation to go directly to their individual blogs! Please do pop over and leave a comment on their personal blogs...they would really appreciate you stopping by!

If you currently don't own any digi images be sure to visit this week's sponsor Sketching Stamper where you will find a fantastic selection of images to chose from...the design team were lucky enough to be given some images to play with this week from Sketching Stamper and if you want to find out how they made their cards you can click on their name above their creation to go directly to their individual blogs!
