Papercraft Junkies "Wings" Challenge

Hi everyone.  Since my last post I have been invited to join two more design teams!  I'm very honoured and excited to now be a part of the teams over at Papercraft Junkies and DCC & Friends Challenges.

Today is my first post for Papercraft Junkies where the theme for this fortnight is "Wings".  I have chosen the "Owl scene of a tree" image, which I love.  I added the moon (Nestabilities are good for more than cutting circles!) to create the night time scene.  I'm very happy with the way it has come out.  I kept the card simple to emphasise the image.

If you want to join us, here are the rules:

1. You can enter as many other challenges as you wish, but you can only enter our challenge with a maximum of 3 separate projects.
2. You can enter any kind of craft you wish, providing it follows the challenge theme at the time. I.e, cards, boxes, altered art etc…
3. You don’t have to use a Papercraft Junkies image to enter, however we would love to see all projects you make using our images.
4. Challenges will run twice monthly on the 1st, and 15th of the month.
5. There will be prizes for each challenge, winners will be picked at random and there will also be a prize for someone who uses a PCJ image.
6. There will also be a Top 3 badge for the projects we like best in that challenge.
7. Please only post new creations, No back linking.
8. If you do not have a blog but would like to join in our challenges then please email your entry to submissions@papercraftjunkies.com
9. Most important rule of all HAVE FUN!

The winner will gett their choice of image over at the Papercraft Junkies Store.  I look forward to seeing what you create!

First DT Post!

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!

Southern Girls Challenge - Ribbon
Stamps & Fun = Creativity - Pins
Card Makin Mamas - Halloween or spooky
