Challenge #17 - "Spring is in the Air"

Oh my, oh my, oh my . . . what a busy week we had looking at all your fab techniques. We all thoroughly enjoyed visiting all of you and were amazed as to how many different techniques there were out there or how we all adapt a technique to suite our style.

Well the month of March is drawing to a close and that can only mean one thing . . .

are kindly sponsoring us again and the lucky winner of this weeks challenge will win some fab digi images. Why not check out the shop to get a "taste" of the designs Dustin produces.

Now this weeks theme is quite a simple one . . .

"Spring is in the Air"

This could a project featuring Spring animals or flowers; colours you associate with Spring . . . again, please interpretate the theme in a way that suits your project(s) but when we visit, we can still understand where you have used our theme.

Now as an added bonus, we would like to look for several Guest DT members to join us for up and coming challenges. If you would be interested, please put "GDT" by your name when adding your details in Mr Linky and who knows, it could be you !

Well to start this weeks challenge off, here is the DT's interpretation of this weeks theme:

Challenge #16 - "It's all in the technique"

WOOZERS . . . what a fab number of entries. We were all chuffed to bits to see so many of you entering last week and please do bare with us as the DT are slowly making away around all the entries to leave comments. Many thanks for sharing your crafty eye candy with us all at "Fab 'n' Funky" challenges.
We must also say a big thank you to Di's Digi Designs for sponsoring us last week and Mr Random.Org has been busy this week and has chosen No. 62 as the lucky winner, so well done to . . .

Kendra from Crafts and Cravings

Please could you email Di directly with your 3 choices from her great selection of digi images and she will get them over to you. Please make sure that you also put "Fab 'n' Funky" challenge winner into the subject line.

Now this weeks challenge theme is a little different. . .

"It's all in the technique"

We all have our favourite "thing" when it comes to creating and we would like you to share your favourite technique with us. This could be paper piecing, embossing, stitching, distressing, making our own embellishments . . . so on and so on and so on . . . We can be creatures of habit and like to favour one technique over another, so this week we would like you to celebrate this un-sung technique. You never know, your favourite technique maybe one someone else has yet to try and when they see your project it might just spur them on to give it a go! To start the ball rolling, here is the DT's take on this weeks challenges:

AndreaTechnique: paper piecing

Hi everyone and we all hope you had a great Mother's Day on Sunday . . . and of course you did send a handcrafted card to your Mother's now didn't you . . no sneaking off to any well known shops we hope!

Now this week we are very lucky to be sponsored by

"Di's Digi Downloads" :

Here is a little about Di:

I started my digi site last year in December and now have about 50 images on my site. The inspiration came from my daughter, her cuddly toy Kaboodle and my sons favourite cuddly toy Cookie.MY work is hand drawn then digitally enhanced and converted to download. I don’t have the best graphics tablet and software and my images are very much hand drawn with not so great straight lines but i hope this adds to their character.These digi stamps only cost $2.00 are instantly downloadable, no waiting.

Please take a peek at my site.
