August Pick a Previous Challenge

Hi! and welcome to the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenge! We're so glad you could join us.

My name is Gill, and it's my final week as hostess. I've really enjoyed designing new challenges for you each week and seeing your wonderful cards and creative talent fulfilling the brief.  I would like to say a big thank you for joining us to share your wonderful creations - you are all amazing! 

So, before I hand over to our new hostess - the amazingly talented Asha - 
for my final challenge, I would like you to pick a previous sketch. 

You can choose from any of the previous sketch challenges - there's a handy list to choose from in our archive file. You can change up the shapes, rotate the layout, make any shape of card you like - as long as you follow the basic sketch layout, we would love to see it. Don't forget to let us know which sketch you have selected.  

So, the choice is yours - pick your favourite, or maybe a sketch challenge you've missed previously, and show us what you come up with ...

And to help you, here's some inspiration from the Design Team ...

Gill: Sketch #28 May 2014

Fabiola: Sketch #31 - August 2014

Asha: Sketch #4 - April 2012

Ruth: Sketch #25 - February 2014

Patricia: Sketch #29 - June 2014

August Theme Challenge

Edit: this post was written and scheduled before recent events.

Hi and welcome to the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenge, where I'm playing hostess again, and this week I have a theme for you to follow...  

I'm crazy about Christmas and love all things Christmas!  I think I inherited this from my mum - she made Christmas magical and truly the most wonderful time of the year.  For this week's inspiration, we would like you to make a card with mistletoe and wine as your theme, be it images, colours, embellishments and more, it's up to you! 

And to help you, here are some ideas from the Design Team ...
