Challenge #9 - Make a card for a friend or use an image that has 2 or more friends in it

2012-03-01T22:25:00.013-06:00

Time flies when you're having fun!!! We are onto yet another challenge here at Little Hands Challenge Blog. We would like to see you make a card for a friend, or use an image that has 2 or more friends on it, sound good?

We are so fortunate to have another fabulous sponsor.....let's get our hands together for.....

Di's Digi Downloads

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Di will generously give our winner of this challenge a $10 voucher to shop (you can buy 4-5 digis!) - Isn't that exciting!!!! What a fabulous prize! Thanks so much Di!! Here is what our talented DT came up with this time around:

We can't wait to see what your little hands will make!

Challenge #8 ~ Under the Sea with GingerLoft

2012-02-15T16:20:00.009-06:00

Already our 8th challenge...it seems like the time has just been flying by! Our sponsor for this challenge is

Gingerloft.

I am Tami owner and artist of Gingerloft. I love to draw and love seeing cards etc made with my designs. I am not a professional artist. I just doodle and have my little digi store for fun and I draw for relaxation. I am proud to be a sponsor this week. Thanks for the opportunity.

Toomie and Renno have chosen an 'Under the Sea' theme. So we want to see your underwater creatures in your crafty creations (try to say that 10x fast). The design team each got to choose a digi from Gingerloft's collection and Tami has offered 3 digis for the randomly chosen winner. Before your 'little hands' beginning working on your "Under the Sea' creation check out the awesome work done by the design team!

Mid-challenge inspiration from a guest designer and P.K. as a helper

2012-01-24T15:43:00.000-06:00

P.K. helped her little brother with this card and I thought it might not be fair if he entered our challenge so......I thought it would be ok to use it as our mid-challenge inspiration. They worked on it all by themselves (a 6 1/2 and a 5 year old) and followed the sketch too! Unfortunately they didn't use a Limited Runs digi....just one we had printed off from one of our past sponsors. You all still have 1 week to put those 'little hands' to work and join us for our sketch challenge....maybe you might even want to use the freebie over at Limited Runs or buy one of her new digis! I sure like First Kiss!

Challenge #2 - OWLS

2011-11-15T09:32:00.003-06:00

Come one, come all and participate in Challenge #2 - OWLS. The Design Team chose OWLS as a theme to stick with our overall animals theme in November. Also since our sponsor is Fresh Brewed Designs and Heather has a whole section of adorable owl digis, we couldn't resist the chance to choose some of these super cute images!!! You really ought to check out her site cause there are sales on right now as well as customer appreciation CANDY!!!

Here is what Heather had to say about her online company:

Fresh Brewed Designs is an online shop that opened in November of 2010. We sell a wide variety of rubber and digital stamps as well as many coffee themed images. It started with a dream and turned into something bigger. With the prodding of a very supportive husband, family and friends, with a lot of help and a lot of headaches:) and a lot of lessons and prayers... Fresh Brewed Designs has become a place to share, create, laugh and build lasting friendships.

Our Design Team got together last night and whipped up these amazing cards as inspiration for all your 'little hands' to get to work and join us!

The winner will be randomly drawn on Dec 1st. and will get 3 digis of their choice from Fresh Brewed Designs.

And the winner of Challenge #1 is......

2011-11-15T06:38:00.009-06:00
