DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY CHALLENGE #35 : "One for the Boys"

Hi there and welcome back for another challenge here at Digistamps 4 Joy.

Let's make ONE FOR THE BOYS in our lives this time.

Create a papercraft project that is suitable for a boy or a man - it can be for any occasion whatsoever!

If you enter a papercraft project into the inlinkz below, using a non-Digistamps 4 Joy image, you will get one entry into the random draw.

BUT

If you use a Digistamps 4 Joy image on your entry, you triple your chances of winning .... you get THREE entries into the random draw! Now isn't that a bonus!?!

One random winner will be chosen (random.org) to win 3 images of choice from the store.

We will then have a DT's choice award. This award will go to the card / project that we vote to be our favourite (and must be a digistamps4joy image). This winner will receive a $6 gift voucher to spend in the store. We hope that there will be an entry (or two) using a Digistamps 4 Joy image, as there wasn't one in the previous challenge.

You do not need to use a Digistamps4Joy image to win, but we’d love it if you do!

We will choose 2 runners-up who we feel deserve a spot in the top 3.

Challenge Rules

You can use any image for the challenges. See above.

You have two weeks to enter the challenge.

You may enter a maximum of three (3) entries per DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY challenge.

Your entry must be new. No backlinking to previous posts.

Please link back to Digistamps 4 Joy blog.

Projects that do not follow the theme will not be entered into the draw.

Please use the Inlinkz to link to your CARD/ PROJECT only, please don't link to your entire blog.

You may combine this challenge with other challenges.

If you don't have a blog then please load your card/project into the gallery on the website, and link to that.

The most important rule, however, is to have fun!

Hi there everyone! Did you have a good Christmas? Here in South Africa we sure did - hot sunny weather, blue skies, gentle breezes - don't you wish you were here?! But then again, a White Christmas is something we'll never experience in South Africa!

Do you have any crafting inspiration left after the Christmas frenzy?
Did you receive new crafting goodies for Christmas that you are just itching to start using?

The projects all feature Digistamps 4 Joy images available in the store (see the side bar for the link).
