Challenge #16... THE GAME is- RED ROVER, RED ROVER

Hello friends!  Again, we are late...it has been a one thing after another for me (will have an update on my blog with ALL of my recent creations), and for June, and even the other DT members have been dealing with illness or maintenance issues with health.  June's Dad is in end stages of Cancer and will be MIA for a while.  We are fortunate to have a guest designer until the end of the year, and then we'll see what happens after that.
I would also like to introduce the newest member of our DT...
Kathryn Cresswell from Scotland!! 

 Hi, I'm Kathryn (also known as Kat or even Boatbird on occasion) and I'm 36, full time working mummy to a gorgeous 20 month old little boy I was told I would never have! I don't get much time to myself but when I do I love to create things- sometimes in the kitchen or on my desk but always with plenty of mess. I am interested in lots of crafts from beading to painting, photography to embroidery and will try anything once. I studied Art and Photography to college level but left art behind for many years til I discovered ATCs in 2007 and realised what was missing from my life! 

Welcome Kat!

This challenge is from the game...RED ROVER, RED ROVER---everyone with "_________" on come over...and our color is RED!

Create something for winter showcasing the color red!

here is Wendy's and my creations:

 Wendy~ lovely card, and candy cane stand!

Susan~ mini decorative mailbox!

Chrislyn~ edited photo of her poochie made into Christmas cards!

Kat~ Salt dough hand Santa ornaments

 Please join us this challenge!!

There will be a winner and a runner-up chosen for this challenge. Both will receive a badge for their blog. The winner will receive my mini mailbox filled with a surprise!

You have from today until December 28 (Friday) at midnight EST to enter our challenge with your RED ROVER creation!

All entrants must be 18 or older. No back linking please, use a creation that has not been shown on the internet by you before. You may also combine your creation with up to 14 other challenges. Please see our rules page.

Hello Crafty friends!  Again, we are late...it has been a one thing after another for me (will have an update on my blog with ALL of my recent creations), and for June, and even the other DT members have been dealing with illness or maintenance issues with health.  June's Dad is in end stages of Cancer and will be MIA for a while.  LUCKILY, we are fortunate to have a guest designer until the end of the year, and then we'll see what happens after that.

It is my honor to introduce you to our guest designer Wendylynne!!

Hi! I live in Buffalo, New York, USA. I share my home with my husband and two very spoiled cats. I have three lovely daughters who live on their own. I love to spend my free time crafting. I have always loved to play with paper. I am a paper artist who enjoys collage, mixed media art, decoupage and assemblage. Recycling is important to me. I try to utilize junk mail and alter/re-purpose existing items.

I challenge myself to explore and develop new crafting techniques. I want my finished work to be unique and one of a kind. Lots of heart and soul go into each one of my creations. To see more of my work go to http://wendylynnspaperwhims.blogspot.com/

Hello Artists and friends! I am sorry I am a day late. I have had a rough week personally, and then another DT had some computer issues. ANYWAY...

Reminder I am excepting email inquiries for DT positions...I have received a couple.  I  still HAVE NOT taken any time to read them yet, My mom had her breast mass removed, and then when she saw the breast doc 2 weeks later the biopsy showed it is more aggressive than they thought, so it is being recommended that she undergo radiation treatments or the rad. pills. She sees the oncologist next week.  Ron is still adjusting...no PT started yet as we do not have the money right now. :(
AGAIN thank you all soooo VERY much for all your well wishes etc. They mean the world to us!

In other news, Anita is on Hiatus until January.


LET'S PLAY...PUNCH BUGGY...
for those outside the USA...this is a driving-in-the-car-game!  when you see a Volkswagon beetle, you punch someone in the car in the arm and say PUNCH BUGGY ....and the color...example:  Punch Buggy Blue...at the end of the car ride, whoever spotted the most "buggys" wins!


 WE are sooooo LUCKY to have the wonderful DEZINAWORLD be our sponsor for this challenge. she is also providing the image for you to use in the challenge.
The prize for the winner will be $15 to use in the DEZINAWORLD store... 1 will be the Faux Cabinet Cards II collage sheet that this image comes from, and then the rest will be between June and the winner!

Here is the image you need for the challenge, please use it honorably, and not to share or to use to build your own collage sheet.

NOW for the CHALLENGE:

Take this Automobile Cabinet card, and use it as a focal point on something VERY COLORFUL with either all colors or just one color.  Your can print it on canvas sheets and do something with fabric, or a card or a canvas or whatever...the possibilities are endless.

I am so sorry for our short shut down. The good news is Ron is on the mend, and in the "Transitional" care unit, getting PT an strengthening! He may be coming home as soon as Wednesday!

Also, Before I go any further, I regretfully need to share some sad news.  Kapree is no longer a member of our design team. She was having a difficult time with her time, as in she didn't have much, LOL! We will miss her and she knows she is welcome back at any time.

"Round, Bally, Round" is an old "hand" game that my late Mother in Law used to do with my kids. I never saw it before, or since.  FOR US, it just means making something round! I loved how the title sounded though, so I went with it!

I apologize in advance for my "tiny" effort.

Here is what the DT has for you!! 

 June ~  a brooch

Anita~  tags

 Sara~  a fairy Cloche

Chrislyn~  Air brushed Bisque ceramic piece

 

  Susan~  "Bandana" technique note cards

Please join us this challenge by making something ROUND!!  It can be anything as long as it is made by you!

There will be a winner and a runner-up chosen for each challenge. Both will receive a badge for their blog. 

The winner will receive a prize.   This Challenge has a Large wood mounted Bkgd. stamp for a prize!! (and I'll probably throw in some other goodies)

You have from today until September 26th(Wednesday) at midnight EST to enter our challenge with your ROUND creation!
