SDC102: Transparent

Hi everyone! It's Libby here today, hosting the Stampotique Designer's Challenge. This week I'd like to challenge you to use something that makes you see your craft project in a whole different light. It can require you pull out supplies you don't typically use, or try new techniques. Or maybe it's something you use all the time! I'd like you to use a transparent element on your design. Whatever you'd like - acetate, glass, left-over plastic packaging - if it's clear, it's fair game! I'm excited to see what you come up with!

Serena: Serena, I love the way the colors work together with the black, white and red. Your background and over all composition is wonderful.

Dawn Louise : Dawn I love your background as well noting all the texture in you pages. But what got me was the "K" for Knickers So so funny.

Helen: Helen your coloring is wonderful I love the background colors and the quote is one of my favorites.

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful entries and hopping over to my blog to play with my tutorial. Thank you again for your support and kindness.

SDC100: Anything Goes

Happy Hump Day! Thanks for stopping by this week and checking out what our challenge is here, we hope to see you playing along!

This is Kim here and I'm excited to get to hostess this week as it's our 100th challenge. This week is super easy for you all-ANYTHING GOES. I find myself creating a lot for the wonderful design teams I'm a part of but once in awhile I just like to play a bit and create for no reason at all other than to participate in some of my favorite color, sketch or theme challenges.

So create with ANYTHING in mind this week and can't wait to see!

SDC99: Summertime

Carol is our hostess this week and she's requiring some "sunshine":

"I love the summer time. I love to spend time outdoors especially in the garden where you can sit surrounded by the sights and colours of summer. I used this as my thoughts for this weeks challenge. Whether its the bright summer colours that inspire you, the flowers or just the general lazy feeling you can get from an afternoon in the garden, take this summer and make it into your own work of art. Carol x

SDC98: Pink & Turquoise

Polly is our hostess this week and here's her challenge:

I love Pink, whether it's a bright fushcia pink or a pretty rose pink - and teamed up with Turquoise well, they sure do make a bold statement!! This colour combination creates a bright, cheerful and a beautiful feminine palette that also reminds me of the 1980's and what a fab decade that was for music!! So break out the pinks, turquoises and not forgetting a splash of black and white and join in with this weeks challenge.

We are starting a new challenge month, so please make sure you link up to the new link here.
