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

Now this is what the design team did with this technique

August Theme Challenge

 Hello everyone,

Tracy here again, and it is time to share what my theme is for week 3 of August.

This is one of my most fun challenges to set each time I host,
as I love seeing how everyone uses the theme.

This time around, I chose a theme I am familiar with because I live in Australia, where Christmas is celebrated in Summer.  So no snow in my part of the world. 

I hope that you have fun creating with this theme.  If you don't have any products that are this theme exactly, then think about using some of your summer-themed products, add a Christmas-type present and change out the sentiment - and you have a Christmas without snow.

Our Guest designer this week is
Anne

Thank you for being a part of the creative team this week. We love your creation.

Now here is more inspiration from the design team.

August Colour Challenge

 Hello, everyone!

Welcome to the 2nd Saturday in August; it is time for a Colour Challenge.
I admit I always struggle to set up this challenge and then make the cards.

Here is the combination that I came up with.

I hope that you have fun with this combination.  

You can also use a little of the neutrals of Black and White.  But only as a complement to the main colours.
Looking forward to seeing how you use these colours on your creations.

Our Guest Designer this week is 

Erika
