Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C30

Hi everyone,

Before we get onto today's challenge, I just wanted to update you on some changes that is happening with our design team. Jessica Diedrich and Robin Willis have both bade farewell to us due to other commitments. While we are sad to have them go, we understand and with them both all the best.

This week also the sees the start of a brand new Design Team member Silke Kittmann. Welcome to the team Silke!

And this week is again sponsored by:

Today I have a CAS sketch for you. You don't have to use a circle shape--you can use any shape you want. And you can flip the sketch if you need to--just try to keep the general feel of the sketch intact. Above all, have fun!

If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C30. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C28

Are you ready for a new Crazy 4 Challenges challenge? Well, today's challenge is a man's thing--masculine cards. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a hard time making them. So this challenge is as much for me as for you!

DRS Designs is our sponsor again this week and there's something about a little prize from last week, right? So, I got Random.org involved and picked a winner for the $15 gift voucher that was so generously donated by DRS Designs.



And the winner is... (drum roll, please)...b-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r

Dana White
