Challenge #72 - NO square or rectangle cards

Good Morning!

I can't believe that another month is over already and that we're in the middle of February now. Time's just flying...

Well, I do hope that you all had a lovely Valentine's Day with your loved ones. As it is not really celebrated over here in Germany, I just spend the day at one of the carnival parades. I love carnival!

Anyways, let's get to our challenge. Most people use square or rectangular card bases for their cards, so this month we challenge you to make "NO square or rectangle cards"... Get out those fancy dies and create a different shaped card.

We also have some generous sponsors for this challenge, whom I would like to thank very much for sponsoring us.

Our lovely Vanessa and her shop Scrappiness Designs

offer a $7 coupon for the winner!

Challenge #71 - Winter

Hello everyone!

Is it winter yet, where you live? Well, it is here in the Northern Hemisphere and I hope to see some real snow soon... but it seems like I have to go to the mountains to have snow as it hardly snows here in the Valley of the Rhine where I live. We've only had a few centimeters yet...

But as I like winter, I want to see your winter cards/projects during the next month...

We have 2 sponsors again, so we'll have 2 lucky winners (1 prize for the randomly drawn winner & 1 prize for the card I like the most).

I also found a great new sponsor, which is StampArt Design by Kathryne.
She has some really gorgeous digi stamps...
Due to that new VAT-law in Europe Whimsy Stamps took all digis out of their shop, so you can't by her stamps right now  -  at least until she found a new way to distribute them.

Blog  -   Facebook
Prize - 5 images of the winners choice

And this is what Kathryne has to say
"Hello stamping friends! Thank you for welcoming me into your home and hearts.  My desire is to inspire hope and joy, with celebrations of love and inspiration at the heart of each drawing for you.  I am delighted to sponsor your challenge and I look forward to hearing from you."

If you're interested in buying the images we used here, you can email your request to to Kathryne at stampartdesignbykathryne@gmail.com. They'll be half price at $1.50 each.

Our second prize is from the founder of Creatalicious Challenges
Bizzy Bec's

and she's offering one brand new Memory Box Die of the coming new release to the winner. So it is still a surprise which die it will be...

Well, I am looking forward to all the wonderful creations you will enter into this challenge.

Have a nice winter time (or summer time for those on the Southern side of the globe),

Melanie
