Challenge #5 - You spin me right round

Wow... another challenge, more winners, and a new format for challenge winners (see below).

Challenge winners for challenge #4 have been announced - scroll down for winners.

Now onto this fortnight's challenge. You Spin Me Right Round!!

The idea for this challenge is to incorporate circles into your project.

The Design Team went all out with this one, and they have come up with absolutely brilliant cards for inspiration.

Margy made this gorgeous easel card - bound to make anyone feel a little better when times are "ruff"... The purple and green colour combo is perfect.


Jen took the challenge literally, and made a spinner card using soccer KC and lots of little soccer balls... Some little boy is going to enjoy playing with this card!!


Louise used Fairy Friends for this cute card (and had her 10month old daughter helping her out, but you can understand why she had to get her hands on it - it's bright and beautiful).


Gemma used Funky Fairy Kelly to make this thank you card in awesome colours.


Debbie went to town with the circle theme, and did a fantastic job of it.


Audrey chose a bright pretty circle patterned paper and lots of scallops. She used the "Let's go" image from our store.


Our guest designer for this challenge is Theresa. Theresa needs no introducing around here, she's participated in every challenge we've had. Thank you for your great support "Tee"...
Theresa used the Daisy Dee image - to go perfectly with the circle theme.

Wow!!! How's that for inspiration... Now it's your turn...

FROM THIS WEEK, YOU'LL HAVE MORE CHANCE TO WIN!!!

We have decided to make entering and winning much easier for you.

Challenge #4 - Sketch

Hello again everybody....
Welcome back for our fourth challenge. Can you believe it? Time sure flies...

Once again, before we get into our challenge, I'm sure you're itching to know who the winners of our previous challenge are...
Of course, you're all winners in our eyes, but there can only be a "top 3"

Chosen by Random.org, our first place (choice of 3 digi;s) goes to 11. Andrea
Second place, and winner of 2 digi's of choice is 7. Scatty Jan
And third place, winner of 1 digi of choice is 10. Kelly Smith
Well done all, please click on the email button on the side bar and contact us with your choice of images and email address.

Onto our sketch challenge,designed by our very own Audrey.


And just to start the inspiration flowing, our design team have made the following projects:

Margy has used one of the cute Christmas giraffes and made an African Christmas card.

Louise has used "Paul picking flowers" from our boys will be boys range. Bright bold colours work perfectly with this sweet little boy...

Gemma has made a traditional Christmas card in the traditional colours, and picked up on the stars and red berries.
Jen has made a sweet card using the cute fairy friends from our fantasy range of digi's. This really is for someone special...

Debbie has used the September freebie, Primavera along with a sentiment digi. Pretty, patterned paper and lace are the perfect combination.
And Audrey used the Gyps image from "around the world" in the striking colours of red, black and white.

And finally, guest designer for this fortnight is .... me!

I don't think I need any introduction, but I'd love you to visit my personal blog and see what else I'm up to.
Here's my entry to the challenge, using pinks and browns and one of the little freckled-faced cuties...

Now it's your turn. This is a great challenge, so please join us. You have 2 weeks to get your entry in - we close entries on 26 October 2010 (see the time left).
Enter your blog entry below, and remember there's a better chance of you winning if you use a Digistamps 4 Joy image.

CDAC Blog Hop

The much anticipated CDAC Blog Hop is finally here. A huge thank you to Priscilla and her team for organizing this whopping blog hop. If you have not yet joined the CDAC (Crafters Digital Art Center), then do so now.... if not, you can't win the main prize.

If you have arrived here from Pholkart Blesssings then you are at the right place. If not, please check the list below to find your way back.

Welcome to Digistamps 4 Joy. We are a fairly new digistamp company and we offer a huge variety of digistamps - you're sure to find something you'll like.

Digistamps 4 Joy was started by Me, Mel. I saw a gap in the market (mainly in South Africa), and decided to take the plunge into doing something I really enjoy. I asked my online friend, Jen, to help out with some images, and the images have been pouring out of her pencil ever since. As Jen was also playing around with digi's and not always finding the one she wanted, it was a great opportunity. And we make a great team - she does the original pencil drawing, and I digitize the images. We currently have 5 artists working on original images (and we'd be happy to invite new artists to join us - for even more variety - so if you are an artist and would like to find out more - click on the "contact us" button and pop us a mail). As far as we are aware, we are the first digital stamp store in South Africa.

CHALLENGE BLOG - We have recently started challenges, which you will find on this blog. We have had a great response and we look forward to more people participating. Click on the "follow" bar - and don't forget to bookmark this page...
