Details of the DT call are below as well:

If you would like to become part of our DT, just enter this challenge and add DT behind your name on your entry

So what are you letting yourself in for?  
Well, you don't need to have been on a DT before.  You need to commit to a project every fortnight.  You also need to commit to commenting on entries -  but not all of them...we have a system!

What will you get?  
Kudos for a start!  Some of our challenges have over 200 entries, so we are fairly well known in blogland.  You gain the experience of working in a DT - with a great group of creative people!!!  You will get digital images to work with from our lovely sponsors.  And you get to help pick winners. 

We are happy for non card makers to apply too - we are always open to other media because we feel it can add a new element to our challenges.  So if you scrapbook, photograph, paint...whatever, why not try out?  Its all about the creativity!

And of course, we are very informal and flexible.  We know life gets busy and is subject to twists and turns.  So we are not over-demanding or too precious!  We know you are giving us your time, energy and creativity, we also know you have lives outside blogland! 

So get your creative and crafty friends to take part in this fortnight's challenge and for those who want to be part of the Aud Sentiments DT experience - make sure you follow the details above to be a potential DT member!

Happy Crafting! :)
 
This challenge will run until Tuesday, December 17

Girl Power @ Aud Sentiments

Hi Everyone!

A bit of a late post for this fortnight's challenge over at Aud Sentiments! Make sure you take part and get involved with the current challenge!

I've sneaked into Team B's post today, so for the remainder of this week, make sure you have a peak at Team B's as well as Team A's creations for the challenge!

The theme is: Feminine and this can be interpreted in any way you like. Your card can be for a boyfriend, husband, partner or even best friend - and don't forget to include a sentiment!

We're sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs

Here's my creations below:


This week I did something a little different! Everything on this card has been made digitally through my IPad. I used an app called 'A Beautiful Mess' and created a digital card image instead of the usual papercrafting. I softened the image with a lot of pinks and reds, as well as a hint of yellow and made the card that bit more vibrant and flirty, without it being too overpowering. Hope you guys like this! Love the outcome!

Check out the Aud Sentiments Blog and be inspired by the Teams' designs! Get all of your crafty friends and followers to join in too!

Happy Crafting!

Sentiment for a Child - Aud Sentiments

Its another fortnightly challenge at Aud Sentiments this week, so here's the theme for this challenge! 

We would like you to create a card or project with a sentiment for a child

For this challenge we are sponsored by not just one, but two sponsors:

Beccy's Place



and 

Imagine That

Here's a little information about both sponsors

Beccy's Place

I love spending time in my craft room designing and creating with paper, fabric, flowers, ribbons, paint... anything I can get my hands on really. I have tried many different arts and crafts and have a particular passion for papercrafts, decorative painting and ribbon embroidery. I love to share ideas and "how to's" with other keen crafters, which is the purpose of this blog.

Imagine That!

A li'l about me... my name is Kris and I'm married to a wonderful Christian man of 17 years.  We live in the high desert of Central Oregon with our 2 daughters... my li'l muses who inspire many of my drawings.  My love of card-making, drawing & digital coloring lead me to illustrating my own line of digi stamps & papers and the opening of this web store in January 2013.  I thoroughly enjoy this hobby-turned-business and love to see my art incorporated into your crafting projects! The categories are growing quickly, so you're sure to find something that tickles your fancy *Ü* 

Thank you to our sponsors this fortnight! 

For this challenge, I've created the card below:


Thought I would do a cute-sy card today using Sweet Tia from Some Odd Girl and using one of the sentiment words from one of our sponsors - 'Piles of Smiles' (which is from Beccy's Place, I think!)

So please do check out the blog for inspired and fantastic makes from Team A, make sure you pop along and see Team B's creations next week up on the blog and get your craft loving friends to enter into our challenge!

Happy crafting! :)

Any Sentiment Time!

Hello Everyone, hope you're all well and in the crafting mood this week!

We have another awesome challenge over on the Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog, so come on over and join in the fun!

This fortnight your challenge is to: Create a card or project with Any Sentiment you like!

And our sponsor this fortnight is: Priarie Fairy

They are giving the winner $10 to use in their store.  Thanks so much!


Here is a little bit about them...

"I am a small town girl with a passion for all things creative. I have been a creator since childhood, doodling like crazy, building forts and climbing trees. I have always loved anything magical and sparkly, though oddly enough I don't sparkle myself up much! Through the years I have tried my hand at many things. I have always believed that if I really wanted to do something, I could or I would figure out how to. Can't is not really a word in my vocabulary. My favorite saying is "I am willing to try anything at least once, though sometimes I am sorry I tried it!" I love teaching and sharing what I have learned along the way. I resisted the computer for years until a friend introduced me to blogging. Not long after digital stamping started to make a splash in blog land and I jumped on the boat. I spent a good year learning all about everything digital and now here I am."

My creation is below:


I used various papers from Crate Paper and American Crafts, as well as some pink twine, some satin red roses and pink & red adhesive jewels.

Hope you guys like my little tag creation, I chose Happy Birthday as a sentiment as my birthday's coming up next month, and it's always one of those sentiments that is a classic and always a favourite! Love it!

As always check out the amazing creations by Team A this week and then Team B next for some inspiration and join in our challenge!

Happy Crafting everyone! :)
