#32  USE A DOILY

Your creation can be anything, altered objects, cards, scrapbook pages etc, but it must be cute and you must use a doily of some sort.  These can be bought or cut using a die cuts or an electric machine.  Christmas, birthdays, get well, the list is endless, and in any colour scheme.  We've had great fun trying to come up with different themes into which we can incorporate a doily.

Pink Gem Designs is based in Stourport-on-Severn, Worcester in the UK and began trading in November 2008 to design and sell cute and whimsical craft stamps manufactured in clear polymer, digi download products and other crafting goodies

All the polymer stamps and digi products have been created from original images drawn by Janet Roberts who is the Sole Proprietor of Pink Gem Designs

We have some fab sponsors this fortnight.  Janet from Pink Gem has agreed to be our sponsor and kindly supplied the DT with some gorgeous images to work with.  Combing Janet's fantastic artwork with a doily has been great fun.   Janet is offering the winner 3 digi's of their own choice!  

The wonderful DT have come up with these great makes for your inspiration.  We love to get your feedback and comments, go on don't be shy.

CHALLENGE #30 - DISTRESS YOUR CARDS

Hey everyone, hope that you are all recovered from your busy Halloween partying last week.  What a busy week we all had.  I think the DT had as much fun if not more that all the kids out there.  Hope your week was as much fun.

Anyway it's midway time again and here's a little reminder about our current challenge

SO onto our next challenge - Distress your cards - no I don't mean be mean to them and make them cry,  but to distress them to make them look a bit aged and ragged.  But being such a talented bunch out there you already know that.  The cuties have had a fantastic time playing with our sponsor images and also the fantastic range of distressing equipment on the market.  We have all come up with vastly different images and themes, which I know will inspire you.  Don't forget to leave the team comments on their gorgeous creations.

We have two sponsors again this time the first being the wonderful Stamp and Create

Stamp and Create is an online store based in the US with worldwide shipping. We have free shipping for US orders of $55 or more. We specialize in rubber stamps carrying: Magnolia, Wild Rose Studio, Stampavie, High Hopes, Crafter's Companion, The Greeting Farm, and more.

For the week of Oct 29-Nov 4th, we will have many older Magnolia stamps on sale up to 25% off!! Plus each order receives a free gift of charms!

Our second gorgeous sponsor is A Passion for Stamps

and they are offering 4 digi downloads of your choice.  

With both stores having so much to choose from I know our two winners will have a hard time choosing.

DT member Kaz has come up with this gorgeous creation to give you some inspiration:
