Challenges and DT Inspiration

First, thank you for all that took part in the last challenge, I am so delighted with each one of the entries, you're the best!  The winner of the challenge, courtesy of random.org, is Evonne:

It is a gorgeous card, thanks for taking part Evonne, please contact me for your choice of image, besides Love Tree and Lucy.

Evonne (again!), Lori and  BettyBoop67 won the Clever Bugs kit for being the first 3 to comment on it. If you haven't received your image, please contact me.

This week we're teamed with PaperPlay Challenges. It is the same challenge in both blogs. Submit your work of art here and in PaperPlay to double your chances!!!
(PaperPlay challenge runs for a week, here it runs for two weeks).

The 4th Challenge, set by Deirdre, is:

"Up in the Air"

We want to see things that fly. It can be butterflies, fairies, aerplanes or even balloons.


Now I leave you with some amazing DT inspiration!

Vera made a cute entry for the challenge:

The prize are the last three images released (Clever Bugs, Anna, Owl Family) plus one of your choice. The deadline is Thursday 11th.

Clever Bugs

A bit late, but here's another couple of images for a fun graduation card.

Hope you like them.

Available in the shop, direct link here.

Anna and the Beach Ball

Anna loves the beach and she never forgets to bring her ball to play - she lives in Dublin so often it is too cold for a swim :-)
I also made a variation with a butterfly so that she can be used with the next challenge which will go live tomorrow, wink, wink.

The Owl Family

Sometime ago, Kate, Wendy and Dotty Jo suggested that I made an owl image. It took a while but here it is - the whole family in fact.

A card...

I've posted this card in my scrapbooking blog, because I post all my Shimelle CT projects there, but since it's got a Mami Doodles image, I've repeated it here.

Love Tree biggest fans - edited again!

I haven't posted Mami Doodles cards besides the DT for a while - let me show some today. Sarah and Lynda are the Love Tree image biggest fans, and I decided to dedicate a post to their work. But if you have also used the image, please let me know and I'll add your work here.

This is Sarah's, oh so elegant - I love that the left the image unpainted, the swirlys and the dangling hearts.

Lynda's monochromatic card with just little pops of red is so eye catching!

Sarah's easel card in a polka dot box:

Lynda's beautifully framed card:

I am lucky, with these talented girls any doodle can become a work of art!

I forgot to post this one, by Sabrina:

Did you notice the bride's rosy cheeks? Is she blushing? :-)

This is a fabulous easel card by Karen:

* Last word * Feather brained me - I keep changing the deadlines and prize rules for each challenge. From now on, I'll try to stick to the following rules:

Challenges are set every second Friday. The challenge will run until the day before the next challenge is set - that is, Thursday midnight.
Challenge participants will enter in a draw to get some Mami Doodles digi stamps.
Sometimes I might ask for comments. The commentators, together with the challenge participants will enter in a second draw.

Challenge #3 and our fabulous Design Team

I'll announce the winner of the previous challenge on Sunday, since I've extended it by a few days.

Meantime, let me announce our next challenge:

"Monochromatic"

And here's the work of the best DT in the planet. Just looking at his array of beautiful cards, each in a different colour, makes me happy!

Deirdre

Jackie

Sarah

Vera

With all these stunning cards, you surely can't help feel inspired, why don't you have a go and submit a card or any other project for the challenge? Same rules apply, it can be any project, it doesn't have to use any of image, as long as it is monochromatic.

The prize is the last two images (Love Tree and Lucy, plus one of your choice). Submissions until Thursdaythe 27th, midnight.

Please link you entries here:

Lucy with Balloons

Here's Lucy, who loves to play with balloons:

The kit has two options, I've added a little decoration in her dress.

Challenge #2 extended

I realised I made a mistake regarding the challenge expiry date. Adding that to the fact that I am going to be pretty busy in the next few days, I extended the challenge until Saturday the 14th, midnight.

There are some stunning entries already, but if you have the time, please join in and have a go!

Please link your entries at the end of the challenge #2 post.

And come back tomorrow to see my new image ;-)

Love Tree

Some time ago, Sarah suggested a wedding themed image and that is what I came up with:

The second image is an extra, it also comes when you purchase the Love Tree.
