Thank you - and farewell

Good morning!  Welcome to Phindy's Place Challenge Blog.  Today I have sad news:  for the time being we have taken the decision to close down the challenge blog, with immediate effect, as Phindy is dealing with family matters that need her time.

There is no challenge this week, but I have some Thank You cards to show you that the DT has made for Phindy and there will be an Inklink for anyone else to link up Thank You cards if they wish.  I would like to thank the wonderful ladies in the Design Team; some of us have been here since the very first challenge and I feel very privileged to have created cards alongside all of the team, past and present.

Most of all I would like to thank Phindy for the chance to work with her fantabulous, awesome images.  I'll be continuing to use mine at every opportunity and looking forward to new ones coming along sometime.

Challenge #113 - Initials

Good morning and welcome to a new Phindy's Place Challenge.

First up, we have a change for you:  after much thought the challenge is now going fortnightly.  Yes, that's two weeks to join in with our challenges, which gives everyone plenty of time to enter through the busy summer months.

And now on to the new challenge:  This time we are asking you to use something beginning with your initials in your card.  How does it work?  If you were Jane Doe you might put some Jingle Bells and some Decoupage on your card!  If you have more than two initials feel free to use them if you wish :).

You don't have to use a Phindy's image to participate but we like it so much when you do that we let you enter it twice.

We will be selecting one random winner who will receive a $5 gift certificate to Phindy's store and the Design Team will also choose one entry as Card of the Challenge. The creator of that card will also receive a $5 gift certificate to Phindy's store and will be in the running for one of our monthly Guest Designer spots.

Here are some fabulous cards using the Design Team's initials:

Linda Payne used Lace and Pearls:

Cec Wintonyk used Cork and Wood

Kathy Curry used Phindy's Kitty Cargo image

Ann English used Aqua and Embellishments

Marlena Peduzzi used Mother and Precious

Sharon Harding used Spellbinders and Haberdashery
