CRAFT Challenge 782 - Cute/Anything Goes

  Long time, no see. I've been very busy with work over the last few years and haven't had a chance to do much crafting. But, now I'm back. Starting with CRAFT Challenge 782 - Cute/Anything Goes.

We are continue to look for committed crafters to add to our design team. No previous experience on a DT is necessary so if you would like to join our fabulous team, you can find the details here.

Our challenge theme for the next two weeks is

Cute/Anything Goes

Our fabulous sponsor for this challenge is 

 Polkadoodles Crafts 

The prize from this sponsor is

3 images of choice from Polkadoodles Crafts.

I didn't get a chance to work with any of the materials from our sponsor, but did have a wedding I needed to go to. Here is the box card I created for the bride and groom and I hope they liked it:

Challenge 500 at CRAFT Challenge and time to celebrate.

And you know how I like to celebrate. As this challenge is a colour combo, this means I have created a few papers for the team to use. 90 to be exact and I will share a few here as freebies. Obviously, these are for your personal use only and not to be shared or sold (anything you create with them can be sold, but not the papers themselves)

I hope you find these papers helpful to take part in our challenge. First the ones you could also find at CRAFT Challenge

And now a few extras, I hope you like them.

And while you are looking here, why don't you have a look at my blog informing you of my books? My first book is available as a freebie at Amazon and Draft2Digital. You can find more here: jonimartinsauthor.blogspot.com or on my Facebook Page:

Jo

Not be around much lately.

Afternoon all,

I realise I have not been around much lately, I have been rather busy. Initially it was purely with writing my books, but currently I have started a new and full-time job too. This means time is extremely limited now.

Still, I have not forgotten about everyone or about my crafting and I will soon put some freebies up again. Just keep an eye out for them.

Enjoy your weekend!

Jo

Some freebies to help with the challenge at CRAFT Challenge this week.

Morning all,

I know it has been absolute ages since I last posted any freebies here. I'm afraid life just simply took over as well as my hobby of writing. As you may have noticed, I have now published 4 books at Amazon (both in English and in Dutch) and am working on my 5th one. It has kind of taken over on my crafting although I'm sure I should be able to do both.

This week our challenge at CRAFT Challenge is:

Colour combo

and I thought you migh appreciate some free papers with the above colour scheme (May Wedding), to get you started on the challenge. So, here you go. There are some more papers to be found on our Challenge blog as well.

As always, they are only for your personal use and not to be shared with others.

For my card I have used two stamps from Pickled Potpourri, who is our sponsor for our Star of the Month April.

For the below card, I have used Butterflies Are Free by Pickled Potpourri Designs and Vintage Greetings by Pickled Potpourri Designs as well as my own papers. I hope you like it.

Love,

Jo

P.S. also check out my other blogs and website. My second novel is currently on countdown deal at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk so you can get it for a reduced price for a week. I am currently working on my fifth novel.
