Challenge #96 - For the BOYS

This challenge is hosted by Riette

The theme for this challenge is

 "FOR THE BOYS" 

Hello everyone!
Riette here and it is my absolute pleasure to host the new DS4J challenge. We've just had Father's Day but since I LOVE making boy (old and young) cards I thought we'd have fun with them again! You can create a card for any occasion as long as it is masculine! Think cars, nautical, or sports and whatever the boys in your life love! Have fun and link up below!
Here is my card for this challenge using the "Lighthouse" background digi.

  

This challenge will run for 2 weeks  from Wednesday 9 July to Tuesday 22 July 2014.

We would prefer for you to use a DS4J image from the store, but this is not necessary. However, to win the DTs Choice prize you WILL need to use a DS4J digi. Remember to link your projects in the linky below.

Don't forget you MUST use a digital stamp or rubber stamp!

There are LOTS of digis in the Store (BOYS 'n TOYS category) that are perfect for this theme!

Team "A" members have created these stunning cards to inspire you!

ALL the images used by the DT are available in the STORE

ALEX (digistamps = "Happy Birthday" )

 ANTOINETTE (digistamp = "Sailboat")

AUDREY (digistamp = "Caught one")

DESIRE (digistamps = "Mommy's girl", "Home relocation", and "Forest" (background))

EMA (digistamp = "Fishing tackle")

EMILY (digistamp = "Train set")

KARIN (digistamp = "Old boot")

ZELLA (digistamp = "The catch - fisherman")

WOW, what amazing inspiration from the team!

Enter your paper projects (maximum 3 entries per person, each from a separate blog post) in Mr Linky below. The top randomly drawn winner will win TWO images of your choice from the store, and 2 runners up 1 image each.

IF YOU USE A DIGISTAMPS4JOY IMAGE, YOU COULD WIN THE BIG PRIZE OF $10

Mid-challenge #95 - Shaped card

Mid-challenge #95 - Shaped card

Our challenge is hosted by MARGARET and the theme is ...

 "SHAPED CARD"  

This challenge will run for 2 weeks  from Wednesday 25 June to Tuesday 8 July 2014.

Hi! I'm Margaret and will be hosting this challenge. I have chosen the theme of "shaped card." 
Let's see where your imagination will take you. Any shape other than the usual square or rectangle counts as a shaped card. 
(PS from Margy ....  an easel card counts as a shaped card because you created folds in it). 

Remember to link your projects up in Mr Linky.

We would love you to use a DS4J image, but any stamped or digi image will be OK ..... you will get an extra chance if you do use a Digistamps4Joy image

Don't forget you must use a digital stamp or rubber stamp!

And now, for some more inspiration from the talented DS4J Design Team "B"

JULIE ODIL (image = "Cosmos corsage")

MARGARET (image = "10 Tiny toes")

TONNIE (images = "Lake Malawi", "Sailboat" + "What a day")

URSULA (image = "First dance")

Enter your paper projects (maximum 3 entries per person, each from a separate blog post) in Mr Linky HERE, and let us all share in your wonderful creations! The randomly drawn winner will win THREE images of your choice from the store, and 2 runners up 1 image each.  Of course, if you use a Digistamps4Joy image, you could win the big prize of $10 of images, and could be chosen as our Guest Designer!

Please remember to link your POST and not your blog.

Also, you must create a link on your blog back to this challenge post!
