September Sketch Challenge

 Hello everyone

and welcome to the first September challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
  

It's Majda here with you today. 

This month I have the honour to moderate the challenges and as always we start with a sketch. 

I hope you have some time to play along ...

You can stretch this or use different shapes as long as we can see the basic sketch on your card. 

We can't wait to see you interpret this sketch 

and we're looking forward to all the beautiful cards you'll share with us!

August Technique Challenge

 Hello everyone, Tracy again.

It is time for me to set my last challenge as Host. Before I get into that, I want to thank everyone who has joined in on the challenges I have set. It has been wonderful to see what you have created.

For the week 4 challenge, I got to choose between a Technique and a Stash item to highlight; I chose ...

Here is a YouTube video that shows a birthday card and the technique.

This card looks complicated but is very easy once you have seen the technique. There are many ways that this can be interpreted.  Scrap patterned paper can be used, and not just a square either.  The design team and I look forward to seeing what you create and share with us.

Our Guest Designer this week is
Donna
