Challenge # 7 - Valentine's Day!

The first of the month = a new challenge at Little Hands Challenge Blog! Of course February 14th is Valentine's Day, so that is our theme! Our sponsor is Alota Rubber Stamps.

Alota Rubber Stamps  is know for "The cutest little bugs in Town"

Search our web site for cute and whimsical rubber stamps.  We also feature background scenes in full size and miniature and we have a large selection of tea bag folding stamps. For great inspiration be sure to visit our card gallery!

The design team was soooo lucky to receive a package FULL of rubber stamps from Helene. I am continually overwhelmed by the generosity of our sponsors and their willingness to participate in a challenge blog for kids!!! THANK-YOU!!! Helene was also sure to include some stamps we could use for our Valentine's challenge and here is what our design team came up with:

The prize for the randomly chosen winner is a gift certificate from our awesome sponsor!

Alright now put those 'little hands' to work on your Valentine's Day cards!!!



Winner Challenge #6

Well, we only had 1 entry for our sketch challenge and so of course our winner is Holly! CONGRATULATIONS! Contact Kellie for your prize - 3 digis from Limited Runs.

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

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!

You all have 5 more days to enter our 2nd challenge and then we will be back with an all new sponsor and challenge for your 'little hands' to work on!!!

Challenge #2 - OWLS

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!

Miss E

P.K.
