September Colour Challenge

Hi Everyone!  It's EK back to introduce this month's color challenge.

I decided to go with really bright colors for this challenge and pulled out both Lime Green and Hot Pink. 

 I know these are not colors you normally would pull out for a Christmas Card, but I think they will make some really fun projects.

September Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone!  It's EK here to host our September Challenges!  

As always we kick off the first challenge of the month with a Sketch challenge.  

I picked a sketch that was meant to be it's own framed work.  I can not wait to see how you interpret this sketch!

Those of you paying close attention will notice that the challenge numbers smaller than they were last month.  There's a good reason for this. Originally I was supposed to be hosting the challenge in August, but since Lucinda is expecting a new bundle of joy, we flopped months!  The whole Design Team waits with baited breath as we get to welcome a new baby to the team.

August Technique Challenge

For my last challenge as host, I thought I'd choose a fun technique for us to play with.

I usually make flat Christmas cards, they're easier to post and for the recipient to display with lots of others.

But sometimes you want something a bit special - this is the week for those!

So I'd like to see pop up or cube cards.

If you've not made pop up or cube cards before, there are loads of instructions online. While there are people out there who are tremendously talented and make the most amazing 3D artworks in their cards, it can also be a very simple mechanism. As always, it's how you choose to decorate the card that makes it special!
