Put a litle 'wiggle' in it!

This weeks card challenge is inspired by this. I love that the owls have moveable wings. Check out the skeleton too. What a riot!

At first I thought I might have made you all make an owl. But then I quickly realized that that wouldn't be very challenging given all you'd have to do is print, and insert a brad. So, your challenge this week is to create a card that has a moveable part of your own creation!

Here is my sample. I decided to keep with Halloween (you don't have to, I'm just in the 'spirit' of the current week!) and made a Halloween card with a Mummy that slides across the width of the card front.

In order to capture the essence of your moveable card, please submit two images with the moveable part in a different position.

This weeks challenge runs from October 27th to November 3rd. This is the last week to submit a card and get your name entered to win October's 'Candy'.

Looking forward to seeing your creations!

3P Challenge!

What are the three 'P's you ask? Paper Piercing and Designer Paper! Intrigued?

Paper piercing is exactly what it sounds to be - piercing paper. If you are familiar with the SU! Tool Kit, then in there are really all the tools you need to make a paper pierced card. If you don't have the tool kit, no sweat, just find yourself a needle or pin and you are good to go.

For this week's challenge, you need to incorporate both paper piercing as well as designed paper.

Here is my card sample for you:

The flower was part of some designer paper that I had that I cut out. Here is a close up where I did the paper piercing: I think for many of you that participate frequently on this challenge site, this will be a new technique for you. I hope you enjoy it!

This challenge runs Monday, October 20th until Monday, October 27th at 5 pm.

BOOOOOO!

Halloween is just around the corner, so here's a challenge that will be sure to get your thinking caps on.

This week, your challenge is to make a card without using typical/traditional Halloween colours. That means no Black, Orange, Yellow or White, but it must be a Halloween theme.

That has you pondering now doesn't it!?

This challenge runs from Monday, October 13th to Monday, October 20th at 5 pm.

Looking forward to seeing your spooky creations!

Think Pink!

This week's challenge is to help us focus on 'Breast Cancer Awareness' Month. Just quickly, here are a couple of stats for you:

In 2008, an estimated 22,400 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 5,300 will die of it.

Incidence and death rates for breast cancer have declined since 1969 in women aged 20-39.

To learn more about screening and about Breast Cancer please click here.

The challenge you ask? It is quite simple ~ Think Pink! It is a colour challenge to use as much pink as possible on your card. It can be any theme you like, just needs to be focused on the colour pink.

BONUS* If you incorporate the breast cancer pink ribbon into your card, it will earn you one extra name entry for October's prize draw!

Challenge runs from Monday, Oct. 6th at 5 pm to Oct. 13th at 5 pm.

World Card Making Day!

It's today! And, it even has a website! Check it out here. To celebrate this world wide card making day, I sent out card kits to four people, to hold an online workshop on this very blog. Here's a snapshot of the kits:

They all had the same amount of paper and accessories, but were all a little different in regards to the texture of the cardstock (I punched and crinkled various pieces) as well as what the accessories and Designer Papers were in the kits.

So, without furthur ado, Happy Cardmaking Day and thank you for participating! If you are just stopping in today, want to participate, but don't have a kit, please join us anyways. Sit down, make a card and leave us a note to your blog site where you have posted up your card. We would love for you to play along. I will do my best to get all the cards submitted up and displayed today!
