One thing I have always wanted to do, but been hesitant to do, was get onto one of the many design teams around. I have applied a few times in the past, but nothing came of it. Well, that has all changed! I have been invited to join the design team over at Creatalicious Challanges and I'm thrilled.
Well this first challenge has definitely been that, A CHALLENGE! The challenge for October is Halloween. I have never done anything Halloween related in my whole life. I have no images, or anything in my stash remotely spooky or appropriate. "No worries!" I say, "I'm off to a craft show tomorrow and will be able to pick up some stuff". Not a single thing was there. If you were looking for Christmas stuff, you were laughing. So, I managed to find some purple paper, a spooky house chippy and a gate die that would adapt.
Now to make something. However, I only have that night to make my creation. I'm off to sunny Queensland (bring on the warmth and sun!) the next day and have to upload it before I go. Needless to say, it was a bit of a late night, but I enjoyed myself in the process. This is what I came up with.
This challenge is sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and the prize is 4 digi
images for the winner to choose!
I look forward to seeing what you all create! I'm now have the painful task of rationalising which copics I will pack 8(. Have fun!
