Reminder for Challenge #21 It's all about Girls and only two colours (that's Quirky)

Hi everyone, it's reminder time! You have until Saturday 24th October (at midday UK time) to play along.

I have to laugh sometimes at how some people read (or clearly don't) only part of the challenge details, and they then pass it on to their followers who don't read the details either.

 We have a lot of very nice entries from people who have only noticed the challenge is about two colours, and have not picked up on the girl part. Some of those have actually got a girl on their project - but only by chance because they don't mention it, and of course those entries are eligible to be voted on.

The ones that have nothing obvious to do with girls will not be voted on, but thank you for sharing with us and I really hope you can enter a second project that can be voted on. I have been telling people individually if it isn't quite right. One rather scary scull card has been removed by it's creator after I commented that I couldn't really see what it had to do with girls.

I will tell everyone again, and I have changed the title, this challenge is about GIRLS, and you should only use TWO COLOURS, with extra colours allowed IF you use a stamped image or digital image, for the hair, skin and maybe tiny details. But the important thing to remember it is about the Quirky GIRLS!



We have three great sponsors for this challenge and they are:

Sweet Pea Stamps

Jiggery Makery

Digital Delights

The prizes for our top three as voted on by the team are:

1st place - 4 images of your choice from Sweet Pea Stamps

2nd place - 3 images of your choice from Jiggery Makery

3rd place - $5 voucher from Digital Delights

Here is some more inspiration from the wonderful Design Team, all of which includes those essential GIRLS, and two main colours!

Doris

Doris has used Princess from Jiggery Makery, and Princess was a limited edition digi which is no longer available. When you see them you need to buy them before they go! 

Doris also used purple and green on her pretty card.

Monica

For my easel card, I´m using this stunning digi from design by Meredith Dillman "Steampunk Fairy" and provided by Sweet Pea Stamps.

Gabriela

The girls we like to have fun, go out and enjoy the music, the image I used is Penny - Pin Up inspired Digital Stamp - Party Themed, sponsor Jiggery Markey

KEMLY.

This post is very special for me, is my last post as part Quirky Team. Cazzy thank my teammates and your support, your friendship.

 In my project I'm using the seal beautiful Karen Middleton 's Summer Fairie our sponsor Sweet Pea. 

 I chose for my project a beautiful garden where this cute and sweet fairy rests. 

I put my project light, allowing us to enjoy another form of this beautiful garden. Quirky's friends, we will be in touch with the technology that has allowed us to share at this time. 

Hasta Siempre!

Cazzy 

Sorry I'm late, I'm trying to get back to normal. This card is using Fairy on a Stool by Sal Scheibe from Sweet Pea Stamps, she is so delicate and pretty yet modern. My colours are yellow and brown. Flowers from Samaflora.

I love the attitude of this digi, she is Zoimar Lezama's Kitty Queen from Sweet Pea Stamps. Colouring went a bit wrong, I will explain on my blog. My colours are pink and black as you can see.

Challenge #21 For the Quirky Girls using only two colours!

Hi Everyone, Cazzy here and my challenge to you is to make something for the Quirky girls, and only to use two colours on your make - except for your image where a few colours are allowed for skin, hair etc.

Your project can feature girls, or be something very girly, or for a girl and can be any type of project that is hand made.

I've not been joining in much and making examples because of family illness and very stressful times, but I am working behind the scenes as usual to keep the challenges going and the brilliant team keep on making wonderful examples for you all to see - thank you.

I have some sad news, Kemly is leaving us and this is her last challenge. She has been a wonderful team member and we will miss her creativity and input to the team and challenges. Good luck to you Kemly for the future!

We have three great sponsors for this challenge and they are:

Sweet Pea Stamps

Jiggery Makery

We would like to welcome Jiggery Makery sponsoring Quirky for the first time.

Cazzy

Amazingly I have managed to make a card for my challenge! This digi is from Jiggery Makery and is called Cute Face 1. My colours are orange and yellow, which just happened when I looked for flowers to make her hair and I found a jar of these two colour flowers and went from there. All the details are on my blog.

 KEMLY

 Hi everybody! To this challenge I made a frame card.

 I used the pretty "Elizabeth-Pin Up". 

She's  beautiful in the cup.This girl is fantastic. 

 She looks even a little sexy or mischievous. This digi is very funny.

 My colours are burgundy and yellow cream. 

I decorated with ribbons and small flowers in the colors selected for this card.

Challenge #21 Frame It Winners

I was blown away by all of the gorgeous entries to my challenge, didn't you do well! After looking at all of your lovely entries the team have all voted for their favourites and the votes added together to find our top three prizewinners. 

I would like to thank both of our wonderful sponsors for generously allowing the team to use their images to create some fabulous examples, so a big thank you to Bugaboo and The East Wind.

There are two firsts for me today, this is the first time there have been so many entries to one of my challenges, you clearly loved it! The second first (or should that be the first first) was that the voting for the first place was unanamous, every one of us - that is the 5 DT and Myriam, our 2 month guest designer - voted for Amanda!

After that everyone voted for a different favourite 5, with only a few getting more than one vote, which made it very difficult to come up with second and third, but after sorting the spreadsheet and consolidating duplicate lines we got there!

Myriam's two months is nearly over, and we will be looking for the next 2 month Guest Designer, so if you would like to be that Guest Designer and find out what it is like to be on a DT without the full responsibilities, or if you just would like a short term position, then go to the tab at the top of the page and add your link. If you want more details just ask and I will send them to you.

We have a number of unclaimed badges and prizes from the past two or three challenges, please check to see if you were a winner and contact me.

Without further ado, here are our top three:

Our first prize winner is Amanda with a gorgeous  altered steampunk frame that we unanamously voted as our favourite.

Congratulations Amanda, you have won 7 images of your choice from Bugaboo!

Our second place winner is Papersniffer, with a lovely snowy shaker card.

 Congratulations Papersniffer,  you have won 3 gorgeoush images of your choice from The East Wind.

In third place we have Sylvia with another gorgeous altered frame. It truely is "Frame at last".

Congratulations Sylvia, you have won 2 images of your choice from Bugaboo.

Please all of you email me (Cazzy) using the email link in the sidebar, or comment below or by contact form if the email doesn't work for you. You will be send your personalised winner's badge, and I will arrange for you to get your prize.

We would love all of you to be guest designers in the next challenge, please tell us if you can. If you are interested in the 2 month guest place you can tell me that too, if you don't want to add your link on the 2 month GD page.

Thank you to everyone who entered, and don't forget to check back later today to find out about our new challenge!

Cazzy

This card features a window frame, the image is from Bugaboo of course and is called Snow Friends Window. Look at the snowfolk peeping into the room! Ribbon by Crafty Ribbons.

Here is a spooky creepmas card, and I am not sure who I will give it to! The image from Bugaboo is called Make it Snappy - Skelekinz Merry Christmas. The image has a built in frame, which I coloured blue with Promarkers and added dots of Distress Stickles.

This beauty is from The East Wind and is called Kettle Mon Amour. This time my frame is a die cut one. Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

MONICA

For my first reminder project, I made a Christmas tree frame card and added this beautiful "Christmas Kettle Mon Amour"digi provided by our sponsor "The East Wind". I love all the shimmer and bright of the Christmas season, so I used red and green glitter cardstock for the frame and the base; and added more shimmer with glitter tule. I colored the digi with Prisma Color pencils (trying to improve my shades, still a lot of practice to go".

For my second reminder project, I a flourish frame card and added a pair of animal print high heels to honor the funny sentiment from the "Frame it-Cinderella" provided by our sponsor Bugaboo. The digi is also colored with Prisma Color pencils, and for the background I used a little distress ink.

Doris

Hello every one, this is Doris and I want to share with my reminder projects. For my first one, I used this awesome image from Bugaboo, and you can find it, just clicking here: Fairy-Christmas_p_3826.html. For this image I used a few colors and for the shadow I just used the IG3 marker color.

My second one is a gorgeous image from THE EAST WIND and, she is Digital Stamp- Lucy Loo 'Queen of hearts' -300dpi jpeg/png fi.... . As the last week, I´m using the Spectrum Noir markers and, I used the Ice Gray colors for the main image. I also used the DR7, DR6 and CR11 for the red details. Have a colorfull week!!!

Lyn

Here's my second make for this Frame It Challenge using Lucy Loo Mirror Mirror from The East Wind. I've cut her out and fixed her to some really shiny mirror card, added eyelash wool, gems, glitter and a corner die-cut.

 

And here's my third card, using a Bugaboo Harry Potter digi in its own frame. The paper, or card I've used came from a TV craft program some years ago and this is the first time I've used it. I've 3D-ed Harry and his owl, printed him out over some blue snowflake paper by PinkPetticoat, added Glossy Accents to his glasses, stars, loads of Stickles Glitter, a pompom and my own sentiment in the blank space.

Myriam

A chocolate box for my friend on her graduation!!! I used the Ava grad diploma stamp from Bugaboo!

I love Paris. I hope I can be there someday!!! I used Lucy Loo Voyage from The East Wind.

KEMLY
