Mid-challenge #111 - Use our sketch
Mid-challenge #111
This challenge is
hosted by Tonnie
The theme for this challenge is
The theme for this challenge is
"USE OUR SKETCH"
There have only been 2 entries so far in this challenge. Is it because you make a card first and then try to slot it into a challenge? Could be. But here's an extreme thought - as this is such a gorgeous sketch from Tonnie - how about making a card using this sketch, enter in our challenge, THEN slot your card into outside challenges! Killing two giants (I don't kill birds) with one stone. Margy.
"
I am Tonnie, the hostess for our April challenge, and it is with great pleasure
that I present this month's theme. We would like you to use our sketch
below to make your creation. There are many wonderful digi images in
the shop that
can be used for this theme. Use your imagination and remember, you
have a whole month to work on your creation. I look forward to
seeing what you create!"
This is the SKETCH you must use - an absolutely beautiful sketch and so easy to use.
If you use a DS4J image you will be eligible for the DT Choice prize of a $10 Gift Voucher to the store
This is the SKETCH you must use - an absolutely beautiful sketch and so easy to use.
If you use a DS4J image you will be eligible for the DT Choice prize of a $10 Gift Voucher to the store
The challenge runs until 30 April.
Remember to link your projects up in Mr Linky. We would love you to use a DS4J image, but any stamped or digi image will be OK ..... you will get an extra chance if you do use a Digistamps4Joy image.
Don't forget you MUST use a digital stamp or a rubber stamp!
We have a GUEST DESIGNER working with us for this mid-challenge.
I am thrilled to introduce you to LUCY who used the Heart of Roses image.
My
name is Lucy. I am married, have 3 adult daughters, a son-in-law and one
grandson who is 7 years old. We live in a suburb of Chicago. I work as a
Medical Technologist at a large laboratory, in microbiology and get
to “play with” bacteria and fungi at my job! I got hooked on
scrapbooking in 1995 when I was shown a Creative Memories brochure. I caught
the card making bug while socializing with a bunch of other craft-o-holics on a
crafting website. I love making cards, not only for the fun of creating, but
also of knowing that it may bring the recipient some joy. I am friends with
Julie Odil, who is a DS4J DT member, so I was somewhat familiar with
DS4J images. I recently won a prize of a Gift Certificate to DS4J as well as
a guest designer spot during Julie’s 3rd Blogoversary blog hop. Now, I have the chance to try out
the awesome images from Margy’s store!
I was planning to use
the Heart of Roses image to make a mother’s day card for my mother-in-law,
but I realized that I need a birthday card for my sister-in-law this week. She
is currently undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer, so I wanted to make her a
pretty, colorful card to cheer her up. I printed the image on some Neenah Solar
White 80# card stock and used my heat gun to be sure my printer ink was fixed
and stable to use with my markers. I am still mostly a beginner with alcohol
markers (I used some Copics and some MPEXY-rhymes with Pepsi alcohol markers).
I used a Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle die cut to cut out my image. I
modified my take on the sketch just a bit. For the rest of the details about
supplies I used for my card, come to my blog Littlescrapsoflucy http://littlescrapsoflucy.blogspot.com/2015/04/fusion-simon-and-guest-design-spot-at.html.
Thanks to Margy for giving me this
spot on the blog!
And now, for some more inspiration from the talented DS4J Design Team "B"
{CLICK on the name of the digi to take you to the store}
ASMAH (Journal page) (image = "Dragonfly")
CHARLENE (images ="The "O" Look")
DEBBIE (image ="Fantasy tulips")
JACKIE (image = "Bedazzled Bride")
URSULA (image = "Baby rattle")
Enter your paper projects (maximum 3 entries per person, each from a separate blog post) in Mr Linky HERE,
and let us all share in your wonderful creations! The randomly drawn
winner will win THREE images of your choice from the store, and 2
runners up 1 image each. Of course, if you use a Digistamps4Joy image, you could win the big prize of $10 of images.
Please remember to link your POST and not your blog.
Also, you must create a link on your blog back to this challenge post!
