CHALLENGE 24 : COMMEMORATING CHILDREN'S DAY AROUND THE WORLD

INTERNATIONAL CHILDRENS DAY is celebrated on different days around the world, but International Youth Day is recognised by the United Nations and is celebrated on 12 August. So in keeping with that day, your challenge this round is to create a project using an image of a child on it, no a fairy, not an angel .... but a child! How easy is that?!

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 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.

You do not need to use a Digistamps4Joy image to win.
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!

Here are the Design Team's Creations for your inspiration ...

CAROL used the image "Let's Go" to make a beautiful corner bookmark and a post-it pad holder - don't you love the way the image looks so different in the two color combinations?

CHARLENE created a beautiful box for her project, and yes, it is made from scratch - Charlene even crocheted around all the components! - That's dedication! The image she used is called "Summer Ice Cream".



ELENOR created a framed picture using "Thirsty" and the colours are so vibrant that the picture would certainly be the focal point on any wall

JAN used the image "Sammy-Jo" for her birthday party theme - just look at all those different projects she created! That's out of the box thinking for you!

STARLA created the such an eye catching wall plaque using "Freckle-Faced Fairy Sitting" - isn't that such wonderful wall decor for a fairy lover?


JEN (that's me!) - I created a door sign using Dimple-faced Princess (that I will be giving to a friend's granddaughter Mariah)

You can click on the pretty faces of the Design team members on the right side bar to link straight to their blogs. They would love you to leave a comment there for them!

CHARLENE is having computer problems and you may find that she has been unable to add her project to her blog yet, but please pop by her blog later - she'd love to know what you thought of her fabulous box project.

CARLIE is away at Summer Camp and so was unable to make create a project for this challenge.

Now all that's left for you is to create your entry for this challenge and add it to the linky below.

Happy creating (and don 't forget to hug a child at least once a day)
