Challenge 9

It's quite funny because this week the challenge is Animals which just happens to be the same theme that Anne chose for her ATC swap. So while youhave your animal stamps/pics out you can make a card and some ATC's!!!!

Here's some DT cards to get you insipired.


Cazzy's



Gez's



Fe's


We are going to be taking a short break from the weekly challenges over the summer holidays just because some of the DT members have children to entertain full time now and of course people are away on holidays at various times too. So we will be back with the next challenge on Sunday 6th September. Although Deanne has said she may add a couple of challenges now again just to keep you going in the mean time!


Please don't forget to show us your cards for this challenge on this thread and leave them in the new flickr gallery too.

We look forward to seeing your creations!

Nice cards everyone, my cards often seem to have animals on them. First time I used this horse stamp, he is so cute.

Thanks very much Fe for organising all the challenges, also to Deanne who started them off.

gorgeous cards girls, again all my craft stuff is here there and everywhere but i will get one posted as soon as so sorry
As Fe said i'll throw some challenges in over the holidays as and when i can so watch this space, and remember all challenges are for fun so join in and do them anytime you want
Thank you Fe for giving us the nudge we needed and have a wonderful summer holidays x

Great cards. Great inspiration...xx

I like the fact that the challenges are always open & we can archive them anytime we wish. Thanks for some wonderful challenges Fe...xx

Hi All,
My first ever challenge entry! I've only just got round to applying to join your flickr page but have posted my entry on my blog in the meantime (http://elainescards.blogspot.com/).

Hope it works ok!
I've just done a large order of goodies so hopefully can start making some improvements to cards - do you all remember what it was like when you were just started and had no Cuttlebug/Big Shot, stamp collection, paper stash...? Welcome to my world!
Any comments gratefully received!

Hi Elaine, thanks for joining in. I will look at your card and your blog in a minute. Did you know you could copy it from your blog and insert it in your post? You just right click on the photo on your blog, select copy image location, press the photo button in the post, and then past it in and Robert's your Father's Brother!

Absolutely gorgeous card Elaine. I hope you don't mind me adding the photo from your blog to your post on the forum.
I've only just realised that as a moderator I can edit other peoples posts and the power has gone to my head!

Plus your card is lovely and it needs to be on here!

Whoa - steady on with that power Fe! he he

Lovely card Ellie - those mice are so cute and do I spot pink and sparkly - should have known

Gorgeous cards DT too - love all the different and interesting backgrounds too, that corrugated card goes so well with the horse design Cazzy.

Awe gorgeous card Elaine..xx

Those little mice are so cute. Love all the hearts floating about.

I'm fairly new to card making too & know exactly where you are coming from. I'm hoping Santa might have room for a Cuttlebug in his sack...hehe.

Off to have a look at your blog.

Thanks for abusing that power Fe! I feel all proud in a newbie kind of way!
Anne - there's definitely pink and sparkle on there. It's necessity and it's that pink sparkle that made me want to do card making - remember my face as you showed me boxes of stuff in your craft room? How could I not be hooked!
Gez - that's a great idea about Santa - might just have to ask nicely...

Another one from me, similar to the one I made for my brother.

aw thats gorgeous cazzy xx thanks for sharing x

Awe what a cutie Cazzy.xx

That's so cute Carol.

Thank you.

Great challenge ladies - love all your DT inspiration too.

Beautiful entries from everyone too.

I have made a card for The Crafty Pad challenge using Milo Mouse Hpaay Days stamp - so I wil use it for this challenge too.
More views of it on my blog.

Nice happy card Debbie, looks like a pyramige effect.

Don't know what happened there Fe - I could always see it - and now there is two..lol

Thanks Cazzy - yip I think it is a happy card too. It is sort of prymage effect - I used the square nesties to cut out the image after I had coloured it.

I can see two but then I always could!
