Good morning sweet peeps!

Mona back here again giving you our new challenge. The theme this time is Christmas. It doesn`t have to be traditional Christmas. We just want to see Christmas elements or something that assosiates to Christmas. So basically you can do anything you like as long as it has to do with Christmas.

Our sponsor this time is our lovely and generous boss Teresa and the Crafts and Me store. She is giving away 3 digis from Crafts and Me`s own range. I can promise you all that there is so many new digis which are truly beautiful, that the lucky winner will have a real hard time picking only 3, lol.My fellow Dynamite Digi girlz has really blown me away this time. I promise you that you are going to get blown away too. Their cards are beyond gorgeous i tell you! Are you prepared to be amazed? Ok here we go!

Challenge 61 - Simples!!

2011-11-16T09:00:00.006Z

Oh yes its the time of year where the pressure starts to mount as you realise Christmas is, I'll say it quietly.... 5 and a half weeks away!!!! Aaaaaargh haha!! Yes you need to step up a notch now with the xmas cards and gifts so this week I thought I'd give you a challenge to help you along the way in that I'd like to see SIMPLES, that is just keep it simple, forget the embellishments as that can get pretty expensive if you've lots to make so just a button here and there, a couple of sticky gems or a simple bow will suffice for these. I'm not asking for Clean and Simple, oh no I dont do clean but you can if you wish but mucky and simple is what we're about!

The team are having heart failure over this one What no flowers??? Well yes you can, just one, maybe two but imagine you having to mass produce 50 of your design and think of the cost so just make them creative without the accessories :)

And to make it worth your while we're offering a prize of 3 digi's from our very own Crafts & Me, the girls have all used digis from the range below and we add new ones on the 1st of each month too!

We have 2 guests joining us for this challenge, firstly Dianne aka CRAZYCRAFTSHED who leaves the team lots of lovely comments over on our shop blog. She is joining us for 2 challenges and here is her beautiful card featuring Birth of Twilight

Our 2nd guest is joining the team for the whole month including on the shop blog and challenges and that is Lydia and she has used Perched at Dusk

Challenge #59 Let the Music Move You!

2011-11-02T09:00:00.016Z

Hi there! This is Rose extending a HUGE THANKS to all of you who take part in the Crafts and Me Challenges. Your participation makes us happy! We LOVE to see your work. And, your support encourages us to continue sharing our passion for creating.

We have another fantastic Dynamite Digi team challenge for you this week! We want you to Let the Music Move You!

* * * * * * * * *

Music plays an important part in our lives and has been known to soothe our souls. Adding color to stamped images can also be very therapeutic and has been known to enrich our paper crafting projects. Why not combine the two and see where our creativity takes us?

Create your music-themed project and use your image to enhance that theme.

Let the Music Move You!

A music-themed project can contain musical note background papers, musical note die cuts, musical note brads in the center of your flowers or as corner adornments. Your sentiment can contain the words of a song. Angelic images can be made to appear to be singing songs of worship or words of inspiration and encouragement. When your image includes a musical instrument, well, that’s just double the fun! Let the Music Move You!

So, bring it on . . . and let’s see your projects showcasing how you have been moved by music.

* * * * * * * * *

Our sponsor this week is Crafts and Me Stamps! The generous prize, to be given to a randomly selected entry, is THREE digi stamps of the winner's choice.

* * * * * * * * *

Teresa has added some new digi stamps to the Crafts and Me Stamps store. You can find them here.

* * * * * * * * *

For some inspiration, take a look at these brilliant creations by our Crafts and Me Stamps Dynamite Digi design team . . .
