Last post for November Challenge#106: Believe with a TWIST of fancy fold

 Hello Peeps - here's hoping that you are all keeping away from that nasty virus and spending your time hunkered down in the craft space creating up a storm! You have five days to enter!

Remember......



The current challenge has a 

Random Number Prize
$15 Aust

and a DT Favorite selected as well
no prize for this

You need to make something around the theme of 

Believe

BUT it does not need to have the word in it. 

The TWIST is to make that something with a fancy fold


This card has a fancy fold and the word believe
and it is a Christmas card BUT yours does not need to be a Christmas theme


See you soon!

Keep Safe and Keep Crafting: Challenge#106 Believe and winners of #105

 Hello Peeps




A bad time going around.... I found this poem on the internet written this year by an Italian woman Mariangela Gualtieri


  This is meant to say we had to stop

                                We know it. We all felt it.

                                That it was too furious our doing. Our being

                                 with others.

                                All of us outwards.

                                Agitating every hour - to make it yield.

                                We had to stop and we could not.

                                Should have done it together.

                                Slowing the race.

                                But we could not.  

I believe it says it all.......

Time to look to the winners of #105

It was all about Inspire.....

November Challenge#106: Believe with the TWIST of Unusual Fold

Well, it is November already! The Challenge this month is 

Believe

What does that word mean?   To have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something or someone, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so. 

Can be in a person or a myth or fairy tale.........or yourself.

                    TWIST : use an unusual fold 

Wynn has made an intriguing fold here. 

I will need to go to her blog to see how it is done!

Wynn


Now both the samples today have the word 'believe' in the text but it is not necessary as long as the  theme of 'believe' is clear in the scrap page, tag, card or whatever you make

You must follow the theme but the TWIST is up to you........

Susan

(sorry, only an ordinary fold on this one)


My first Christmas card for 2020

Let us see what you can create with the theme of 'BELIEVE'!

Week three of the Inspire Challenge#105 with a TWIST of Thank You

There are another two weeks to run on this challenge -

Just be inspired to thank someone for getting you into paper craft!

My wonderful team have come up with some amazing stuff - again!

CG
My crafting inspiration, both for this card & for crafting in general, is my Mom. She introduced me to stamps & designer papers, which got me into this great online cardmaking community!
