On to the Vacancies in our Design Team
There is a very high standard of project that you have put forward for the DT call
we will announce on Wednesday the 27th who our new Design Team buddies will be.
OK so this fortnights Challenge!!
This Year is Whizzing by so fast and we are now up to V on our Challenge
Its so nice to see so many of you joining in too! thank you!
Hmmmmm Something beginning with V
VEXED? tehehee!
Or have I had a Vision?
I have chosen V for Vertical and I have done you 2 sketches you can use either 1 or both sketches, thanks Helen for digitising them. Please use any items you can think of beginning with the letter V! I would like to see more than 2 items beginning with V on your projects...and yes you can bend the rules a little A Very Merry Christmas as Lacey said tehehheee counts as one!
Thanks Lacey! :0)
You may only flip the sketches for this challenge, and NOT rotate them...afterall, the whole point is that the 'stripes' and image should be V for Vertical, and not H for Horizontal! lol
Sketch 1
Sketch 2
The DT will give you a helping hand by listing their V items....

ReplyDeleteSorry Samantha for not reading your challenge post correctly. I thought the idea was to use a sketch or doing the letter V challenge. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Still love your challenges though. May play again next time. Thanks. Sorry for any inconveniences.
ReplyDeleteHad a rough time with the 'V's but may have stretched it beyond the rules. But my card is verical.
ReplyDeleteThis was an awesome challenge. It was so much fun to think 'vertical'. Everyone's cards were really beautiful and so inspiring. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the challenge and the inspiration. I loved the sketch. Here is my card, my V is for vertical, very cute, very glittery, Vikki and Victor(the names of the mice I am sure ;) )
