"Challenge #8 ~ Vintage Or Distressed Look"

Good Morning Everyone! Welcome to Challenge #8 "Vintage or Distressed Look"! I hope all of  you with children, have gotten off to a good start for the new school year! I bet y'all are in need of some crafty time!?! LOL! We thought this would be a wonderful challenge for all of us to think about the days that have gone by! And just take a few minutes to remember how lucky we are these days, to have all that we do! We want to see all different perceptions of vintage or distressing, the only limitation on this theme is your imagination! You can use any image for this challenge! We would LOVE to see all types of creations, whether it is a Card, Scrapbook Page, Tag, ATC (Artist Trading Card), Box, Bag, 3D ~ Altered Art, or Other Crafting Projects that has some form of paper on it!

All of our Design Team's inspiration is listed above, along with Inlinkz. This challenge will run until Sunday, September 18, 2011 at 7pm CST. Please be sure to check the challenge tab for ALL the guidelines that we have set for our challenges! And for an added bonus, we will be looking for some creative talent to add as our Guest Design Team and works of art to be spotlighted! So be ready, just in case you are picked!

Our Sponsor for this challenge is Digi Doodle Shop! Judy and Joy the owners/artists of Digi Doodle Shop have so graciously offered a $10.00 gift certificate to their online store! Isn't that an awesome prize for one lucky person? 

 Now here is a some information about Digi Doodle Shop!

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts.  It was started just a couple of months ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to over 250 stamps - now available. 

Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while I (Judy aka/daughter) love the “fun side of life”, and create images with cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles have enabled Digi Doodle Shop to offer just about any type of stamp.  Plus, we also offer “custom made stamps”, and blog designs.  Our best work comes from request, so if you don’t see what you’re looking for, just send us an email and before long you’ll see it in the shop. 

It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations.  We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

Thank you so much for having us, and again the very best of luck to all of you.

Sincerely,

Judy and Joy

As always thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions feel free to leave us a message with a way to contact you (email or blog address)!

Have a wonderfully creative week!
