Challenge No. 4

Woohoo. Our second challenge this month introduces the first of a host of new sponsors that we have lined up for you. Our challenge this month is to use the colour

GREEN

so it is fairly flexible. Any theme, any design, just make sure the predominent colour is green and you'll qualify.

Our sponsor is Hope Jacare and here's what the owner, Claire, has to say about her business...

"I'm a SAHM with three young children. I trained in Textile Design at the Glasgw School of Art and I love all things handmade, but especially papercrafts. I love to doodle ... and my doodles are available to purchase as digital images through Shop Handmade."

I just love Claire's work and hope you do too. Please go over and have a look at her shop

The prize for this challenge is 3 digi images from Hope Jacare. The challenge is open until midnight GMT on the 28th February 2010 and the rules are

1. The card must be for a man/boy.
2. You need to follow the theme/sketch that is set.

3. It must be a new card.

Leave your name and a direct link to your entry (not just to your blog) in Mr Linky below. If Mr Linky is not there for some reason then leave the details in the comments and I'll add you in when I'm doing the draw.

So do you need some inspiration? Our design team have been busy again and come up with some crackers.

For more information on the individual cards, click the link to their blog below each card. Have fun with our challenge and good luck.

Challenge No. 3

Here we are again with another challenge for you and a small announcement - our challenges will now be set fortnightly and we have some wonderful new sponsors lined up for the next few months. Before we get onto this challenge, our prize for January is yet to be claimed! The winner was ~Jeri~ and if you don't claim be 14th February when this challenge finishes, I'll draw another winner. Please email me your name and address on cardsformen@donnasden.co.uk.

This months challenge is based upon a sketch with the optional theme of 'Love/Valentine'. You can rotate the sketch and alter proportions but it must be clearly recognisable that you have followed the sketch.

So what's stopping you all? Aha, the rules...

1. The card must be for a man/boy.
2. You need to follow the theme/sketch that is set.
3. It must be a new card.

That's all, I don't mind if you combine challenges with other blogs or anything like that. The challenge will close on the 14th February 2010 at midnight GMT. The prize is a 'No Scissors Required Die Cut Decoupage' book which contains 8 sheets of die-cut decoupage, 3 sheets of pop-out captions and 8 sheets of craft board.
