August Challenge - Hot Colours!

Welcome to Crafty Calender's August Challenge!

What a great turn out last month for our Water theme!
I apologise if we didnt get round to commenting on everyone's projects last month. With DT members on holiday and others busy with the kids on school holidays its not always easy to get round everyone. We do look at every entry and we really appreciate the time you take to enter!

Now lets pick a winner from last months water theme challenge with a help from Random.org.....
The winner is.......Caroline Turner (Carolines new Hobby)
Here is her fabulous card!


Congratulations Caroline. If you pop me a email (link on side bar) I will organise your prize from Wild Orchid Crafts for you!
Now I have some sad news. Lisa and Di have decided to step down from the Design Team.
Lisa has been here from the start of the challenge blog and ran the blog for a long time. Both ladies gave us fabulous projects week upon week and will be missed a lot. Be sure to follow them on their personal blogs and leave them some love for all their hard work! Thanks for all your support girls and Good Luck with your future ventures!

Lets now set our new challenge!
It was Jenni's turn to choose our theme and she has decided to go with
Hot Colours for a hot month! (well some of the month!)

This month our sponsor is the fabulous..

They stock everything you will ever need from Glue, card-stock and stamps to Alterable items and tools...all at amazing prices.You must also have a look at the Beary Sweet Designs Paper Piecing patterns, they are just so adorable and great value too!

The prize on offer is a $20 gift Certificate!..Wow, how good is that prize!

Now its over to you, let us see all those hot colours in your stash!
Here are a few little reminders ...
Please make sure you leave a link to your blog post and not just your blog and that 'Crafty Calendar Challenge' is linked in your post. Please only link to new entries as it isn't fair to backlink to older posts. Any cards linked not meeting the above requirements will be removed and you will not be eligible for any of the fantastic prizes offered by our sponsors!

We have just one change this month. We have decided to limit the number of times you can
enter to 3. Each entry must be a completely different creation/card.

This challenge will close on Friday 2nd September at 8 pm and the winner will be announced the following day when the new challenge is posted.
