LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS CHALLENGE "ANYTHING GOES"

Hello Again!! Seems like it's been a long time since I made a project for you here at Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends. Is everyone loving the fall weather. I love Autumn with changing of the leaves and the much cooler weather. Now with our new house, we will have to start raking leaves that I didn't miss at the last place I lived. It will be nice to have them in a pile and let the grand kids play in them. These are the times you get some of your greatest pictures when they are young. I still remember when my kids did it. Very happy days to remember since one of your children has kids to enjoy it just like he did.

Well, for this challenge, "Anything Goes," we have a total of three sponsors giving out prizes to some lucky winners. Everyone loves to get free images to use on new cards that you want to make. Some for the images has been great with some of the Scrapbook Page Layouts. Well I'm excited to get started meeting our three sponsors for this challenge. 

Sponsor 1

Karleigh Sue Digi's is our first sponsor for this second challenge of the month. They will be giving someone 3 images from their store.

Sponsor 2

https://www.etsy.com/shop/OddballArtCo is our next sponsor that will be giving a prize of 3 images from their store. This store carries Sweet & Spooky Creepy designs and they also carry merchandise for you to purchase. This is the first time that I have heard of this etsy store and their a lot of images that are cute compared to how many that are spooky. It's a nice store that you should go and see for yourself.

Sponsor 3

Lemon Shortbread is the last of our sponsors and the store that I have received my image from.

They will be giving another one of our winners 3 images from their store. I love the images there and this would be the prize I would like to go with. The image that I used is called "Christmas Ornament." She is a beautiful girl holding one ornament. Looks like she maybe hanging it on a tree. With this Christmas ornament I actually added another card to my Christmas Cards this year. Here is how I used this image to make my card.

I really do hope you like it. I used poinsettia background paper and then added all the other poinsettia's around her. I focused more on the flowers than I did the ornament. You can always add ornaments to a page but when I saw this paper I knew what I wanted to do. 

I do hope you go and visit all our sponsors and what the great design team made. Just go to Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends to see all the great work from the Design Team and also add you project for us to see. Love seeing the things that you come up with.

LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS CHALLENGE "ANYTHING GOES"

Hello to everyone. I'm back from my month's vacation off and ready to start with my new challenge. My move had some cliches and it was very long for all of us. There was something that needed fixed before we closed and that held us up for a week and when the day came to close the owners were still trying to get their things out. But, in the end, we made it and we love our new home. 

I'm excited to get back in the groove again so I can see some very lovely projects that you will all be making. So, let's start with the first of our 3 sponsors. 

Sponsor #1

The Stamping Boutique 

They are having a great sale going on right now. All Fall/Halloween and Christmas images are 40% off. That's a great deal they have going on but you can win images just by entering our challenge. Now the prize that they are giving away is 2 images and if you use one of their stamps the prize changes to 3 stamps.  

Sponsor #2

Drawn With Character

This is an etsy store worth taking the time to go and look. She has the cutest little characters for you to choose from. The Halloween images are so adorable. You could use them to make cute invitations for a party or just a card for a little child. The prize that they will be giving is 3 images from their etsy store. Now to the last sponsor

Sponsor #3

The Craft Place Ltd

I used the image Petal from this etsy store. They have very adorable images and I'm glad that I was able to choose an image from them. This image is a sweet little girl sitting on petals of a flower. I colored her first and then picked everything else that I made it with. So here is the card that I made with Petal

I do hope that you like her. I think she turned out great. So it's your turn to make those projects and enter them in Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. 

LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS CHALLENGE "ANYTHING GOES"

Welcome to another "Anything Goes" challenge. We all know that we love these kind of challenges because you can show anything that you would love to share. I'm sure their are projects out there that are just waiting to be seen but need a challenge like this to show them off. I love to see all the different projects they are being made. I sometimes would love to try and make something close to something different that I never seen before. We all would like to add something new to show how diverse we can be. We all know that this challenge will have three sponsors. So, let's go and meet the first one and see what they will be giving one of our lucky winner's. 

Sponsor #1

Cottage Rose Graphics

I love this etsy store. I really love vintage and they have vintage graphic images and vintage advertising. There are more categories but I wanted you to know that they do have vintage because there are a lot of people out there that make wonderful projects with the vintage images. Cottage Rose Graphics will be giving a prize of  $20.00 for you to spend in their store. I'm sure there are a lot of you that would love to get this prize. I know I would. On to the second sponsor.

Sponsor #2

Ching-Chou Kuik

As you can see by their banner, they have beautiful images. There are a lot of fairies and adorable girl images. This is one that you definitely need to go and look at. They also have fantasy art as you can also see by their banner. The projects that were made with these images are beautiful. They are on the Challenge Blog. Ching-Chou Kuik Fantasy Art is giving 3 digital images for their prize. Another one that you would love to work for.  Now, to the third sponsor and the one that I chose my image from.

Sponsor #3

Fresh Brewed Designs

Let me show you the image that I used from Fresh Brewed Designs, It is called Row Of Ornaments which makes you think of Christmas

Fresh Brewed Designs is also a nice store and has different categories then the others we have already talked about. They  have the digital images but they also have digital paper and digital sentiments to use. You can make a whole project by going there and getting all that stuff. You can do some of this with the prize they are giving which is 3 Digital images. You would then only have to buy the sentiment and the paper. Now I will show you the Scrapbook Layout that I made with a Row of Ornaments.

I thought a card would be to easy to make since there wasn't much you could have made with it. At least I couldn't come up with a more colorful card. I have, as you know, been trying to scrapbook layouts for my family album. I have done more this year then I have for the last four years.

I hope you enjoyed learning about our sponsors and the layout that I created for this challenge. I will let you know that I will not be doing a project in August due to me moving. So I will see you in September and have a Wonderful rest of summer before those children go to school. Just bring your projects to Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. 

  

LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS "ANYTHING GOES"

Welcome to the second challenge for the month of June. With school being out and hunting or a house this month has gone pretty fast for our family. Then when I found out that school starts here on August 13 I was floored. They are even making the school day a little longer. Pretty soon that will be in school year round if they keep this up.

We have three great sponsors for this challenge. Three sponsors means three winners. Who would not be tempted to this challenge. Just remember when you enter our challenge you can only enter a total of 10 challenges for yours to qualify here. I really don't want you to be out of the challenge because maybe you had 11 challenge. The rest of the rules is on our challenge blog: Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends. 

Sponsor # 1

I Love PPinky Dolls is one of the great stores I have been to. Besides selling just her digital images, she sells porcelain dolls and she has some art to. This store has lots of variety to choose from. She will be giving 3 Digital Images to one of our lucky winners.

Sponsor # 2

Flat Friends Boutique is a great store to get some great digital images. They have a variety of images in all kinds of different categories. They are very cute images. Flat Friends Boutique will be giving a winner 5 Digital Image. What a great prize. You can make a lot of things with this many images.

Sponsor # 3

Concetta Kilmer also has a variety of different things in their store besides just digital stamps. You should go and see what she has. I also used this sponsor for the card that I made for this challenge. It's called, "Turtle Totem." This was the most adorable image that I seen with turtles. I fell in love with it. Before I show it to you here is the prize that they are giving to another winner. They are giving 3 Digital Images. Now here is Turtle Totem

I really hope you find some inspiration in this for something that you make. I was trying to go with something that was unique and I could add a lot of stuff to it but the image was to small on my card to do. It I would put it on a Scrapbook Layout I could make the image a lot bigger and put everything on it I would like. I still thing it turned out adorable.

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see your projects for this challenge. Don't forget to read the rules carefully on the challenge blog so you do get that chance to win. I will see you next month with another "Anything Goes" project.

LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS CHALLENGE BLOG "ANYTHING GOES"

Hello!! Here is a post for the challenge of Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. This is the second challenge for the month of May. It's getting really close to Memorial Day weekend and the beginning of summer. I'm sure my daughter will be glad she is done with school for this year. She and her friends already know what they are doing this summer. She usually spends at least three weeks throughout the summer with one friend and another has her license so they have many plans together also. Well let's start off with the first of three sponsors that are giving prizes to our lucky winners.

Here is Faery Ink. They have many different categories. Many different and great images for you to use. There are categories that you probably have never even thought of. This is not the sponsor that I used my image from but there are great projects on our challenge blog that other design team members made from this site. The prize that they are giving away for this challenge is 3 of their great images.

Make It Crafty is our second sponsor for this challenge. They have eight different categories with categories under those. Many, Many, Many digital stamps there for you to choose from. They also have rubber stamps to. I would really go and see this site to see all these incredible images. Again, this is not the sponsor that I used my image from. It's coming up next but here is the prize from Make It Crafty. A $10.00 Gift Certificate To Their Store

Now we are to the store that I used. This sponsor is The Stamping Boutique. Another fabulous store.  I was so excited looking through their images that it did take awhile. First I am a great collector of Noah's Ark. so when I seen this image in their store, I knew this was what I was going to work with. I was a little shocked that the layout I made was easy to me to make and the papers were great with it. Before I tell you anymore about my layout let me tell you about the prize. Two Images But If You Use A Stamping Boutique Image You Will Receive 3 Images.

My layout is called Michelle's Little Ark. I didn't have enough room to put that title on my page. I don't have all my animals on there but I used these one because they all were born within a year of each other. The two cats that have just a angel on them are the cats that has passed away. They were part of our family and it still hurts that they are gone. So, on the top row is Marshmallow, Raven and Tom. On the bottom is Scrappy and Kiera. The dogs are pure breed so I will just give you their nick names. The others are rather long. I had embellishments for cats and dogs. I also added some animals for the Noah's Ark. I think the page turned out great. At least I think so.

Well now you know our sponsors, prizes, and seen my layout so we are at the end of the line. I hope you participate in this challenge. Anything Goes is the best challenge to enter. I have been able to make layouts to put into my family album. I will have to make another page for the rest of my animals though. So have a great Memorial Day and I will be back in the middle of June for another project from me.

LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS CHALLENGE BLOG

Welcome to the second challenge of March. Of course, Our challenge is "Anything Goes" just like all of our challenges will be. I'm sure you all know that by now. These challenges have been great. I have seen many (I mean many) beautiful and unique cards that you have entered in our challenges. I am amazed at how everyone has their own imagination on what they create. I hope you all keep them coming. This week we do have three different sponsors for three different winners. This is always a great challenge to do when there are more then three winner's. So I am going to tell you our three sponsors before I tell you who my image is from and what I made with it.

Zuri Digital Stamps is an etsy store that is owned by Zuri. She has cute images just like the cute girl on her badge. She also has sketches that would give you inspiration on one of your next projects. The prize that she will be giving winner is 3 Digital Images from her etsy store.

Here is the second sponsor for this week. Ching-Chou Kuik Fantasy Art. This is a new sponsor that I have not worked with but have great images at her etsy store. I just had to look through them since I haven't heard of this one. I'm really glad that she is now a sponsor. Love to work with her images soon. Now they are giving 1 Digital Images to another lucky winner. We are now at the third sponsor and the one that I used my image from.

Meljen's Designs is our final sponsor for this challenge. This is the sponsor that I used one of their images to make my project. The image that I chose is called "Teddy Angel." I love angels and also teddy bears make good images for scrapbook layouts. I have used Meljen's Designs Images before and just loved what I made with them. This would be a great prize to win so you can get one of their great images. Before I show you my project I want to tell you what prize they are giving. They will be giving 4 Digital Images. 

My anything goes is a Scrapbook Layout with "Teddy Angel." I decided that I wanted to do a layout with my grandson. I took the teddy angel and flipped it so they were sitting back to back. Since the bears were angels I chose to call my layout Heaven Sent. Now I want to show you the layout I made. 

I really hope you like it. I'm in love with it and that little guy. Since I did this for my grandson, I'm in the process of making one of my grand daughter. It will be the exact same thing but just in pink. 

Well this is the end to my post and my project that I made with "Teddy Angel." Just add you creative project to the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Blog and you will be entered into the challenge and have that challenge to win one of those prizes. I hope you have a great week and I will see you in the middle of April. I do have post every Monday if you would like to stop by and see other projects that I do.

Before I get to the set I chose, I want to tell you what the prize that she is giving to the last and final winner. It is a $10 Gift Voucher to their store. 

Now the set that I used on my card is called "Butterflies and Hummingbirds 6x6 Designer Pack" and
"Butterflies and Hummingbirds Elements Pack 2." These two packs go together. We were to use one of the papers and one of the elements to make our project. I used paper that had butterflies and one humming bird on it and the element I used was a straight line of butterflies that I cut into four different butterflies. So here is the card that I made with Michele's Butterflies and Hummingbirds.

I do hope that you enjoyed learning about our challenge, sponsors and the set I used that was inspired with Michele's designs. Hope everyone has a Wonderful Day and I will enjoy seeing the works that you made. Feel free to leave some love about the post. Everyone like to hear what you think about what they made.
