Challenge #98 - NEW

This challenge is hosted by Ursula

The theme for this challenge is

 "NEW"

Hi everyone!  Ursula here and I am thrilled to be hosting this new challenge at DS4J. I am sure we all have something new to celebrate, and little did I know when I chose the theme for this challenge that I would be celebrating a new home this month. Hubby and I have retired and are moving into our new home in a few weeks, so that is really something to celebrate.

Here is my card for the challenge, celebrating a new home. I have used the image "Birdhouse" and this is also something  NEW , as we have a brand new artist Riette who is one of our DT and this is her first image for us.

This challenge will run for 2 weeks  from Wednesday 6 - 19 August 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!

ANY of the digis in the Store 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 = "A-la-pram" )

 ANTOINETTE (digistamp = "My ride")

AUDREY (digistamp = "New Year sparklers")

DESIRE (digistamps = "Chicken dad", "Savannah" and "Chick time")

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.

MONTHLY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE {August 2014}

Good morning its, Desíre here again.  Can you believe that its already August.  Where is time disappearing too? Trust July was filled with loads of creative fun for you and that your Christmas card stash is starting to grow. Thank you once again, to everyone who took the time to email me to request the DS4J 'Irresistible Bling' image, and thanks so much to those who have made a creation and linked it up to our July 2014 Christmas Challenge.  All the entries were just so creative.

Each and everyone who linked their 'Irresistible Bling' creations during July, are a winner, as this cute Santa's Helper is on its way to you. It seems like everyone was good this year, as her bag is filled up.

... and here is a tent card made by yours truly.

To those who have missed our July Christmas Challenge, its not too late, you are most welcome to join in the fun  from August.  We will offer a free DS4J Christmas image each month with which you can create a card or tag.

You need to enter your card or tag with this free image into Mr Linky below.  Each person who has created a card or tag with the month's free image, will receive the next month's image free.

Please email me at desiref@iafrica.com if you are keen to enter our August Challenge with this wonderful image, and I will get it off to you asap.

So now it's over to you - looking forward to seeing your Christmas cards/tags with this lovely Santa's Helper, in our August linky below.
