Challenge #86 - Scraps

The Design Team here at Phindy's Place have earned a break so this will be the last challenge for 2011 and it is an easy one. We want you to use your SCRAPS so pull out all those little bits and pieces of paper that are leftover from other projects, but try to keep your pieces no larger than 3 inches square. The challenge will run until January 6th, which gives you lots of time to enter.

You don't have to use a Phindy image but we hope you will and if you do, follow the instructions under the challenge rules on the sidebar and enter your card twice. If you don't have a Phindy image, pop over to the Phindy's Place store and pick up a few of the fabulous images you will find there.

One random winner will win a $5 gift certificate to the Phindy's Place Store. In addition the Design Team will select one entry as Card of the Week. The creator will also receive a $5 gift certificate and will be in the running for our monthly Guest Designer spot.

Before we show you some inspiration from the Design Team, we want to say goodbye to Mona Eidhammer, who is leaving us after this challenge to concentrate on her family. Her lovely creations will be missed and we wish her all the best.

The Design Team has created some wonderful cards for you and if you want any of the details, just click on their name.

We want to wish you all Happy Holidays. Enjoy this time with your family and friends and stay safe. We will see you back here for a new challenge on January 6th.

Challenge #83 - A Sprinkling of Snow

Good Morning and welcome to this week's Phindy's Place Challenge. Winter is around the corner in many places while some areas already have snow so we thought this would be a great week to make cards with A SPRINKLING OF SNOW. If you still have a few holiday cards to make, why not make them with a snowy theme.

You don't have to use a Phindy image this week but we certainly hope you will and if you do, follow the instructions on the sidebar and enter your card twice. If you don't have a Phindy image to fit the challenge theme, there are lots of suitable ones over at the Phindy's Place store , so why not pop over and pick up one or two.

You can win two prizes, one winner will be chosen at random from the entries and will win a $5 gift certificate to the Phindy's Place Store and one entry will win Card of the Week with the creator also receiving a $5 gift certificate. 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!

The Design Team have created some wonderful snowy cards for your inspiration. To get details on any card, just click on the designer's name and you will be taken directly to their blog.
