P is for

Thank you to everyone who took part in the last challegne .. you were all ver inventive with one paper. We will be back later to announce the winner of the prize from the Secret Crafter, and the top 5.

Onto this week's challegne - we would like to see ...

Paper Piecing

Paper piecing is a really easy technique to do -
1. Stamp you image out as normal and colour the hair, skin, but not any clothes you want to add in design paper.
2. stamp your image onto design paper and cut out the clothes that you want and glue them over your stamped image.
Really easy ... and great for getting matching or co-ordinating clothes and design paper.

We are Lucky to be sponsorsed by The Stamp Oasis







Ellie is kindly donating to the winner a choice of 3 digistamps from her store.

and

Whom would like to offer a gift certificate of $15 to the Frenzified store. The $15 can buy you probably 3 mini sets (such as the entire sentiments set, cupcake set, and candle number set!) at the store, so it's a great value!

Frenzified is a new digital image store designed to help papercrafters, cardmakers, scrapbookers and even just someone who might want to make a coloring page for their youngsters. Started in January of 2010, Frenzified strives to creating unique images and hopes to create more that fit our customer’s needs. We currently are up for suggestions and hope to expand the store beyond just digital images, to someday sell digital .svg files to be used for your cutting machines. (but that’s in the future for now.) We hope this site helps you to fullfill your needs of unique digital images and puts a smile on your face too! Check out our newest released set, "Birthday Bakes" which includes unique sentiments, cupcake images and number candles so you can personalize your cards even more to whomever you birthday card is going to. We all live an frenzy of a world, so we at Frenzified hope we can make things easier for you!

The design team call is still open, so if you are interested please put DT after your name, thanks. We have seen 2 people from last week that we are very interested in and we are looking for one more person and also a few people to guest design.

Onto the Design team's fabulous creations.

This week we are lucky to be sponsored again by Wendy of Secret Crafter

She has put together a prize for the winner, and she has also informed me that she has the new Cosmic Cricket 6x6 decks and the new Basic Grey pads due in the shop by the end of the week. There are also some gorgeous Belles and Whistles Stamps at half price so what are you waiting for, nip over and have a look for yourself, there is free postage over £5 and her copics and promarkers are the best price around.

On to our challenge, the theme this week is

O is for One Paper.

Here is the design teams, take on the theme, remember we will count one piece of 12x12 as one piece of paper so you can use both sides if you wish.

I am also opening up a design team call, we are looking for one new member to join us, so if anyone is interested please put DT after your name, thanks.

We have a guest designer this week Ruby whom many of you will know kindly turned down the prize last challenge as she had recently won with us and so we asked to guest design instead.
