June's Winner & July's challenge :D

Hi everyone,

Hasn't the month just rushed right by?  I can't believe we are into July already. 

Here is our winner for June's challenge - Recycle, Re-purpose & Re-use:

Rosemary, congratulations.  This is one gorgeous card, it looks amazing!  To see more of Rosemary's work please stop by her wonderful flickrstream here.
Also for the month of July I am the hostess.  This month I want to challenge you all to pick a project ie: Card/ATC/LO or anything else you have done & re-do it.  I am calling this challenge "Now & then". 
Just to give you an example here is a card I did when I first started out cardmaking:

This card is the basis for my make over card.  When I made this card it was my first attempt at a new technique Emboss resist. I didn't have a lot of supplies (no cuttlebug either). So I decided to give it a make over.

My "Re-do" card.  I used another new technique - Distress inks on water colour paper. As you can see I've also embossed (cuttlebug this time) & added a nestie. I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

If you have any sort of Die Cutting/ Embossing machine you are most welcome to join in & play along with us over on our flickrgroup.  To enter just go here & follow the prompts.  Thanks for stopping by & I can't wait to see what you all come up with.  Happy Crafting everyone xoxoxoxoxo

April Challenge - Reciepe

Hi everyone,

This month I have a Reciepe challenge for you all. Don't worry there is no cooking required :D.

This month I challenge you to use the following on your project of choice:

Nestie, die cutter of some kind or embossing folder
Ribbon,
Ink & lastly
2 embelishments like buttons, flowers etc.

See easy peasy right. Here is a little something to give you an idea. I used my Nesties to make the mini album, inked the edges with distress ink, then added some ribbon & two flowers.

You can make Cards, ATC's, Gifts, Layouts, whatever you can think of - you are only limited by your imagination.

To post a photo to this thread, all you have to do in Flickr is go to "the" picture , click on share this, scroll down to grab the html, then follow the directions for copy/paste. You can paste to the comment box on the thread. It's really easy to do. You can also tag your card with April11DCD.

Remember:
1. Limit of 4 entries for each challenge per month
2. Random Drawing will be held the last day of the month
3. If a moderator is not hosting a challenge for the month, the moderator can enter the challenge
