Challenge #28 - Use your favourite colour

STOP PRESS!!!  Edited to add:  to give as many people as possible a chance to take part in the 1,000 member celebration at PCP, this challenge will run for TWO WEEKS.  You have until 5 November to get your favourite colour card entered.

Good morning and welcome to another Phindy's Place Challenge.  This week we have a very easy challenge for you, after the trials of fancy folds!  You simply need to include your favourite colour in your project.  You can add other colours, just let us know which colour you've used is your favourite and of course be sure to use a Phindy's Place image.

Don't forget, we are partying over at Papercraftplanet next week as Phindy's Place Group passed the massive milestone of 1,000 members!  I would like to congratulate Phindy on having such a fantastic group of followers!  I hope you'll come on over, if you aren't yet a member.  Snag some of the fabulous Phindy freebies and join in the fun and challenges - wait till you see some of the prizes on offer!   The challenge blog competition this week is super-easy to enter and I hope you will choose to combine it with entering one of the challenges over at PCP, which will give you two chances to win!

This week the challenge is simply to use your favourite colour.  You aren't restricted to only using that colour, as long as it's in there somewhere and you're using a Phindy's Place image then that's fine.
The winner of the Challenge will be chosen by Random.org and will receive an $8 Gift Certificate to the Phindy's Place store. The Pick of the Week wins a 20% off voucher for the Phindy's Place store. Don't forget that once a month we will choose an overall winner from the weekly winners and they will be offered a Guest position on the DT - and of course a free image from Phindy's Place to use for that week's challenge!

We have some stunning cards from the DT and also a gorgeous card from this month's talented Guest Designer, the lovely Viv, whose card was voted overall pick of the month by the DT.

Challenge #27 - Fancy Folds

Good Morning!  Welcome to Friday and of course to another Phindy's Place Challenge.  This week we're challenging you to use fancy folds on your card.  There are some amazing tutorials out there to make unusual cards, why not take some inspiration from the DT and really challenge yourself.  Of course, a simple gatefold or an easel card is a fancy fold too; you can keep this challenge as simple or as complex as you like, provided of course you use one of Phindy's fabulous images!  If you don't have any yet, you really should hurry over to Phindy's shop. you are missing out!  Or why not come and join us at Papercraftplanet where there are some great freebies to use.  We are very, very close to having 1,000 members to our group and when we get there, we are going to party!


The winner of the Challenge will be chosen by Random.org and will receive an $8 Gift Certificate to the Phindy's Place store. The Pick of the Week wins a 20% off voucher for the Phindy's Place store. Don't forget that once a month we will choose an overall winner from the weekly winners and they will be offered a Guest position on the DT - and of course a free image from Phindy's Place to use for that week's challenge!

Sadly, this week we say Goodbye to Sylvia from the DT.  Thank you for your lovely cards over the last few months Sylvia!  And now for some very fancy folding for your enjoyment, be sure to check out the DT's blogs for more photos and info about those fabulous Phindy fancy folds!
