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:

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.

Morning all and a Happy and Crafty 2015,

Long time, no see. I have been rather busy this last year with work and home and I have had very little chance to spend on my hobby of crafting.

At CRAFT Challenge this week our challenge is a Colour Combo as below, I created some papers with this colour combo and you can download these for free, provided you use them for your personal use only, do not claim them as your own and give credit where credit is due.

Good luck with our challenge!

Hope this will give you a start on our first challenge of 2015!

Love,

Jo

Some freebies for CRAFT Challenge 140 Colour Combo.

It looks like people are having a little bit difficulty in finding the right inspiration for our current challenge at CRAFT Challenge. Not as many entries as we are used to. Just to help those of you along that do not have any papers to match this up, I'll give you a few freebies of the Valentines Day 1 Papers to get you started. Hope you like them.

Here is the Colour Combo for this challenge.



Please do not claim them as your own. If you would like to share them, just direct people to this blog instead. There is the occasional freebie on this blog as well for those interested. It would be fabulous if you could leave a comment if you take any of my papers or stamps.

And now: good luck!

Here is the pack. As a little extra, I will enter everyone who uses these papers for the challenge this week into a random draw for the full pack as well (2 winners max). In that case, just enter into the inlinkz below as well.

I will include the Heart Easel card sheet using this colour scheme with it as well.

And here are the freebies:

Hope you like the freebies and have fun playing with us this week at CRAFT Challenge!

Love,

Jo.
