Here's my Christmas Tag below:

Hope you guys like and enjoy the inspiration from Team A who have designed some fabulous Christmas gift tags! Pop by the following week for the lovely Team B who will be inspiring you with lots of fab tag creations!

Details of the DT call are below as well:

If you would like to become part of our DT, just enter this challenge and add DT behind your name on your entry. 

So what are you letting yourself in for?  

Well, you don't need to have been on a DT before.  You need to commit to a project every fortnight.  You also need to commit to commenting on entries -  but not all of them...we have a system!

What will you get?  

Kudos for a start!  Some of our challenges have over 200 entries, so we are fairly well known in blogland.  You gain the experience of working in a DT - with a great group of creative people!!!  You will get digital images to work with from our lovely sponsors.  And you get to help pick winners. 

We are happy for non card makers to apply too - we are always open to other media because we feel it can add a new element to our challenges.  So if you scrapbook, photograph, paint...whatever, why not try out?  Its all about the creativity!

And of course, we are very informal and flexible.  We know life gets busy and is subject to twists and turns.  So we are not over-demanding or too precious!  We know you are giving us your time, energy and creativity, we also know you have lives outside blogland! 

So get your creative and crafty friends to take part in this fortnight's challenge and for those who want to be part of the Aud Sentiments DT experience - make sure you follow the details above to be a potential DT member!

Happy Crafting! :)
 

This challenge will run until Tuesday, December 17

Ele-phantastic @ Pinspirational Challenges!

A late post from my part - sorry everyone - and Elephants are taking over our challenge at Pinspirational Challenges for this week, so here's your picture to be inspired by:

 

Cute aren't they stacked on top of each other! :)

Here's creation for this week's challenge:

Here's a list of the materials / craft stuff I used for this card:
- Papermania Green Gems
- Green Twine from American Crafts
- First Paper Edition 6 x 6 Pad - New Leaf
- Caramel Linen Cardstock
- Lawn Fawn Hello Friend Stamp Set
- Momento Tuxedo Black Ink
- White card stock

I did a few bits of layering on top of the caramel linen cardstock, with the FPE New Leaf paper, the elephants are from a stash that I had from a project I did a few weeks back. The added green from the paper, the green twine and gems tie in the three mint green stacked elephants on the card and gives the card a simple and fun touch too :)

Here's my creation for this week's challenge:

For this card I used cream coloured cardstock and layered this with paper from the K and Company's MxKenna 12 x 12 paper pad, as well as a strip of burlap from ebay, crochet lace from Wild Orchid Crafts and a tea doily from Dovecraft (though this is hidden because of the image! Ooops!) The image is from our sponsor at Ppare Pretties called Easter Eve and this was coloured in using Promarkers (Satin, Cool Grey 4, Black, Cinnamon, Forest Green, Bright Orange and Sunflower) The added embellishments are Curly Roses and Green leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts to tie in the with the colours of the easter eggs in the Pins image for this week! Plus a little colour goes a long way!

I hope you enjoyed this little easter card! Make sure you check our blog for inspiration from our Design Team members! And make sure you join in this week challenge and have some fun creating some great easter cards! :) Tell all your followers, friends and bloggers to join in with this week's challenge too!
