Challenge 1 - Autumn


Hello and welcome to our very first challenge!
Firstly, I'd like to say a huge thank you again to everyone who applied for the Design Team Call! Welcome to the new designers!
Thank you also to everyone who posted such lovely comments and spread the word about the challenge - we really appreciate your support!



OK then, onto the first challenge. This month, we would like to see you make a card/project that follows the theme of AUTUMN. This can be interpreted however you like!

There is also an optional extra that you can include in your work if you want. The optional extra is: PLANTS AND VEGETATION. But please remember that this isn't compulsory.




This month, we are lucky enough to be sponsored by the lovely Chris, who owns her own fabulous digi-shop - Sketching Stamper Digi-Images.

Chris is such an inspiration and an exceptionally talented drawer. She creates absolutely beautiful designs, all hand-drawn, and sells them for great prices over at her shop. She has a huge range of digi-images, from stunning flowers to gorgeous fairies, animals and much much more. Chris also designs for the Kadoodle Stamps range at The Craft Barn, so you can also view her beautiful creations there.

Click here to enter Chris' digi-shop.


Chris also makes stunning cards over at her fabulous blog, which you can find HERE.

Chris is offering a fantastic prize for one lucky winner: six images of their choice from Sketching Stamper Digi-Stamps!


Thanks so much Chris!



You have until 8:00pm (UK TIME) on Thursday 5th November. A new challenge will be posted on Friday 6th November. Don't forget to check back to see if you are the winner!



We are very lucky to have Tara, my mum, designing for us this month! Tara makes absolutely gorgeous cards and has a very recognisable style. To view more of her fabulous creations, click on the link above!

Think a monthly challenge is a great idea. I hope my card is autumnal enough. I may be back with more as I am going to a workshop on Saturday and I believe the theme maybe autumnal.

Great DT samples.
