Challenge #35 - Babies and children

Thank you all for your entries to Heidi's lovely sketch challenge last week, it was great to see all those gorgeous creations for Mums.

This week it's my turn to host the challenge (Nicki) and I would like to see you use this sketch to make something for a baby or small child - maybe for a new baby, Christening, 1st birthday - anything for a tiny tot or youngster.

THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED DUE TO CHANGE OF SPONSOR

Please refer to above post for details

The lucky winner of this week's challenge will get 5 images of their choice, and we are also looking for our next guest designer for a 2 week spot - we're all excited to see what lovely baby creations you come up with.

Digital Ink very kindly gave the design team some images to work with and the wonderful Baby Boy and Baby Girl stamps were perfect for our theme this week. Here are the team's cards to give you some inspiration.

Thanks everyone, happy crafting!

Love from Nicki (Littleted) and the MAWTT team, xx

MAWTT #31 - a recipe challenge

Happy Thursday morning everyone! A big thank you to everyone who joined in with Sue's wonderful sketch challenge last week - we had some fabulous entries. This week it's my turn - Nicki - to host the challenge and I've decided not to give you a sketch but I have a recipe for you to use. I'd like to see the following items on your creations:

At least 3 eyelets

3 flowers

Some ribbon

You can use any sketch and colour combination, and make any kind of project you like as long as you incorporate these elements somewhere on your work. To got with my recipe I'm offering a lovely Search Press book as the prize this week - Polly Pinder's 'Eyelet Greeting Cards' - which is full of yummy ideas with step-by-step photos and loads of tips.

So come on, whether you use a Crop-a-dile or a good old-fashioned hammer with your eyelets, get setting and join the fun! Here are the cards created by the Design Team this week to give you some inspiration - the girls have done me proud and come up with some gorgeous cards...

Challenge #26: Nicki's sketch and "Little Teds" theme

Thanks to everyone who took part in the challenge last week, you produced some wonderful work with Sue's sketch and we enjoyed visiting all your blogs to see your creations.

This week it's my turn to set the challenge - my very first - so I've done a little sketch and in honour of my blogging name I've chosen "Little Teds" as my theme - I want to see your bears! Birthday bears, baby bears, even Christmas polar bears, I'd like to see all kinds of bears on your projects. Here is the sketch for you to follow - feel free to turn or twist it as long as we can still see the sketch elements in your finished creation.

Our sponsor this week is lovely Helen at Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts and she is giving a wonderful prize to the winner - a £10 voucher to spend on anything in her store. As if that's not generous enough, she also has a little gift for everyone - if you don't have any teddy images to use for the challenge, here's a link where you can download Roger Bear for free. So, there you go, you've got no excuse for not playing along!

The Design Team have been hard at work all week with Roger and other bears - here are their gorgeous creations to give you some inspiration...

Our Guest Designer - Marianne
Sue - Susie Sunshine

Clare W - Taffy Crafty
Hazel - Dido's Designs
Heidi - The Crafty Goat Girl

Clare C - Thread-bare
and finally, me - Nicki - Little Ted Cards

Please visit the DT blogs over next day or so to see how their cards were made.

This challenge is open until 8:00pm on Wednesday 23rd December and we can't wait to see what you come up with, hope you will find a little crafting time to play along!

Hugs, Nicki, xx
