Crazy4Challenges C4C72

Happy Saturday to all of you! It's me, Maria, your hostess again. It's Saturday and you know what that means? It's Crazy 4 Challenges time! Well, this is my last week to host the challenges. I hope you enjoyed my challenges this month. I'm a super huge fan of vintage and shabby chic designed cards and projects. There's something so romantic and feminine about them. This week's challenge is to create a card or project that incorporates a "vintage" or "shabby chic" element. For those not familiar with this type of design, common elements are lace, beads, pearls, aged or distressed paper, vintage or ephemera images, french script design, bronze or copper metal, flowers, etc.

Oops we forgot to announce the winner of our sponsored challenge from the 15th January. The sponsor was Flower Soft, who have generously donating a prize of the new flower soft colors and glue for one lucky person.

And the winner is Donna V, congratulations Donna. Please email Frances at Crazy4Challenges at hotmail dot com to arrange receiving your prize.


If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C72. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Crazy4Challenges C4C71


Happy Saturday to all of you! Well, it's me, Maria, again. It's wonderful to see you all back for another challenge. I hope you are all having a great day so far. I'm a big fan of sketches because well, it makes card creating so much more simpler. It is also fun to see the different card designs created using the same sketch. It's amazing to see how one card layout can create such different designs. This week's challenge is to follow the sketch below. We can't wait to see you cards!

Crazy4Challenges C4C70



Happy Saturday to all of you! It's me, Maria! Hope you are all having a fabulous day! Now that we're in the third week of the new year and back to our busy lives, we sometimes throughout the year forget to stop and think about all the people who have been kind and generous to us. We usually wait for the holidays to remind us that we are blessed to have these people in our lives. This week's challenge is to create a card or project that incorporates a "thank you" sentiment. When you're done creating the card, give it to someone. . . just because. It definitely will put a smile on their face, for sure.


This week our fabulous sponsor is Flower Soft, who have generously donating a prize of the new flower soft colors and glue for one lucky person.

Crazy4Challenges C4C69


Hey it's that time again! It's me, Maria, back with another challenge! Hope you are all having a fabulous Saturday! Are you ready to be challenged? Well, this week I decided that a color inspiration challenge would be fun. I found a photo with colors I really liked. I just thought it was a pretty picture so this week's challenge is to create a card using the colors in the photo inspiration.



If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C69. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.
