Come join the most amazing team!!!!!!

We have had a few of our girls step down in the last few months, most recently Rachel and Jackie and we really miss them all, but the spaces they have left are there to be filled by a whole new set of DT members and so we are very excited to announce our DT call for 3 or 4 new members for 2014.
So.... What's it all about!

  • Fab'n'Funky Challenges is a very popular weekly challenge going live each Wednesday- but we have two teams who post on alternative weeks so as a DT member at Fab'n'Funky your commitment would be to make a project every other week - though you can join in every week if you would like to.  We take holiday breaks in the busy summer and Christmas periods so you don't need to worry about meeting deadlines at these times.
  • We have sponsors every week and prizes for our challenge winners - the majority of these sponsors provide digis for the team to work with - so you need to be able to colour and work with digi stamps
  • Also you must be prepared to promote our sponsors and their images on your blog -  we have some wonderful sponsors for 2014.
  • We have crafters of all styles and abilities on our team - so you do not need to be an experienced crafter or DT member as there is always someone around to help out on our DT blog on blogger where we chat and keep up to date with our challenges - so a blogger account is required so that you can join in with us as we are a very democratic bunch!!
  • The other requirement is that you comment on your allocation each week - and it's always nice to visit your fellow teamies!
  • Oh and just one other thing! - as an added twist this year we are introducing a Christmas challenge in the last week of every month - in a bid to get everyone organised with a few more Christmas cards for next year - now that can't be a bad thing -                                                       so it's Fab'n'Funky Challenges - with an added twist of Christmas!!

If you like the sound of this all you need do is link up to Mr Linky below and we'll pop round to visit you - so have the kettle on for when we arrive!!

Please ensure that there is a link to your email on your blog - or alternatively email it to me on the Fab'n'Funky email address shown on the side bar - after all you want to be sure to get that email telling you that you made the team.  

The DT call will run until 6pm GMT 17th January - so you have lots of time to apply, if you have any questions at all just send me an email and ask away!

All that remains is for me to thank you all for your support this year and to wish you all a very Merry Christmas - see you all next year

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow.......

Oh! How I love winter and all the fluffy white snow. Now I just wish it would stay with us for Christmas. It seems to snow and get  all pretty, and then we get two or three days of warm weather again, only to see our beautiful blanket of white melt away.

But hopefully with this weeks challenge over at Fab'n'Funky we will see plenty of Snow in the form of snowflakes on your wonderful creations.

Here is what I came up with.



 
When I was at the "Treat Store" (as my kids call it. LOL( Mack's convenience)) I notice that they were just throwing out the containers for the 5cent candies. So asked if I could take them. So here is one of those containers. I decorated it with some Bazzill bling cardstock and some Stamp Fairy stamps. Voila an easy gift for the teachers. I think I will fill it up with cookies and chocolates.
 
Hope you like it!
Your comment are greatly appreciated.
 
Don't forget to link your project up over at Fab'n'Funky for your chance to win a wonderful prize from our Sponsor this week.

Christmas is coming......

And that means it's time to get started on all of your Christmas cards. Have you started yet? I have to admit I am a little behind this year, but with our new challenge over at Fab'n'Funky I am getting a head start!

This week Judith is our lovely challenge host and she has asked us to use TRADITONAL CHRISTMAS COLOURS.

So go pull out those stamps and get started. **Now if you are  one who does not celebrate Christmas please do not feel like you cannot participate, the card does not have to be Christmas themed, it is only the colours that are asked for in this challenge.**

Here is what I came up with. I used one of the sweetest Santa stamps. I have been looking for something like this for a long time and finally found it at Digi Darla Designs, and it is called Santa Clause 2. I love it, and I know this stamp will be used often this season!


 
The image is coloured with my trusted Copic markers, The DP is from Echo Park, and the sentiment is from Netty's Cards (she has plenty of wonderful freebies!)
 
Thank you for stopping by, it is greatly appreciated, please leave a comment to let me know that you stopped by.
 
Don't forget to show us your lovely creations over at Fab'n'Funky, we sure do love to see them and you also have a chance to some wonderful stamps from Digi Darla Designs.

Good morning..........ONLY 1 MORE DAY!!!!!

Until Halloween!

And let me tell you my daughter has not let me forget it! She has been doing a count down all month long.

This week our challenge over at Fab'n'Funky is a Halloween theme, I must admit that I took the inspiration quite loosely. I know you would think that I would be all over the Halloween themed cards, but I don't really make them. I like to celebrate it, just not with cards. So I chose to use a stamp called jar Autumn from Bugaboo (our sponsor this week)

Here is my card.

 
Thank you for stopping by this week. I hope you can join us this over at Fab'n'Funky, we truly do love to see your creations.
