CHALLENGE *4* CHOOSE A CHALLENGE....AND DT CALL...

First of all, a BIG thankyou to everyone who joined us last time, we loved all your '3 CIRCLES' themed creations...
Please check back later on to see who has won the 'Mary Lou's Shoes' Stamps.
On to the new challenge....

Now, I'm sure I'm going to make this sound FAR more complicated than it really is, I'll try my best to explain it properly...
This time you are given the chance to 'CHOOSE A CHALLENGE'
Challenge 1
Paula's sketch.....

Make your creation following the layout shown in the sketch above

You can flip it if you need to, and resize the elements, as long as the layout can be clearly seen in your creation...

Please remember we would like to see AT LEAST 1 Pollycraft item in your work, entries not containing Pollycraft items will not be entered for the prize.

Challenge 2
Use the free papers....


Click the image above to download a set of 4 free 'Winter Blues' papers (ZIP File)

Print them off and use them in your project...(no need to use them all!!)

*using the papers means you have used at least one Pollycraft item, so anything else you use is entirely up to you!!*

Choose which challenge suits you best, post your entry on your blog, and leave us a comment with a link so we can all come and visit you....

(Email one of us your entry if you don't have a blog)

The prize for this week is......
A £10 voucher to spend at Pollycraft!!

Now for the extra twist....
We are on the look out for new Design Team members.
If you would like the chance to join us then heres what you need to do...

We'd like you to take part in BOTH Challenges...

SO... either combine the sketch with the papers, to create one card

OR

Make two cards...one for each challenge...

Could you also just add a note in your comment to say you wish to be considered for the team.

(as some of you might want to combine the challenges without being considered)

Please don't worry if you don't own many Pollycraft downloads or stamps....If you are chosen as a Design Team member you will recieve a DT Package to help you out.....

(for info about the Package please email Paula)

New members will be chosen in 2 weeks time by the rest of the team...
Good luck!!!

Check out what the DT have come up with to help inspire you...

'Here are my entries (why do one card when you can have fun making 2!): Piper with Attitude (Sketch) - used HOTP music paper for background then card from stash (DCWV I think), used a die for the "attitude", stickles, felt shapes and of course some buttons and gems. Happy Birthday Star (Papers) - used a cuttlebug die for the star, brads, buttons and peeloff from stash.'

Thanks for joining us Sheena,

Love them Both, great take on both challenges! x
