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!

Challenge #14...THE GAME is Duck, Duck, Goose...er TURKEY!

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/


Now for our challenge this time...
THE GAME is...
DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE (or turkey in this case) 
This is a children's circle game

it is in Honor of the USA Holiday Thanksgiving!  which usually means TURKEY!!

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. There will be no prize for this challenge, as we are showing "THANKS" for what we already have, counting our blessings and being humble.

Additionally, June is on temporary Hiatus, due to family illness, and my hubs is back in the hospital, he may need some heart work (waiting on a cath.) but has to have a toe amputated.

so we are a bit late again.  Starting in DECEMBER we will have a few new faces around here! 

This fortnight's challenge is DRESS-UP; Halloween style.
