Challenge # 5 : Card Challenge: Vintage with Layers and Lace

Welcome to Crafting with Dragonflies challenge # 5
Yes you read correctly NUMBER 5....unbelievable, isn't it??
We have a wonderful challenge for you this fortnight.......
Create a Vintage Card with Layers and Lace
you will either cringe or go YEAHHH!!!
I know that a lot of us hate vintage, all the frills and fru fru that goes with it...but it doesn't have to be like that....Here are some hints....even though I am not an expert, but I have noticed that most true vintage look cards have mainly muted colours
(I find cremes, light pinks, light browns and blues help with the look)
 adding lace and vintage emphemera prints as your backgrounds, layers and extra embellies helps a lot, and you can use all sorts of charms, flowers, tickets, anything.....Hope this helps some....
so give it a go....
...or just check out what our beautiful Dragonflies have created....stunning as always....
so proud.....sigh!!

Our most generous of sponsors this fortnight are:

So here we go:

Challenge #3 Winners!

Hi ya Peeps!

Susan here again to announce the winners of Challenge #3 - One for the Girls!

Well - did we hit the nail on the head or what! Obviously that challenge suited lots of people and we had over 130 entries to trawl through and select our favourites! Not that that was a chore - there were so many beautiful entries to look at and drool over and CASe for future cards, and to see all the lovely embellies and die cuts that one just might have to have for oneself..........you all know what it is like......yep, addictive!

On top of that, Hilde got an attack of being generous, and decided that when we reached 100 followers she would give a way a few things, including to the people who supported this blog - you, dear reader - by creating a free digi for everyone to use.  You can find this freebie HERE if you haven't found it yet! It's lovely Hilde and I for one have used it already and will be posting it soon!

Now, for the winners of Challenge #3

Our Sponsors for this challenge were:

Now onto our next Challenge, # 4 already...can you believe it??? 
Make a box

Well this will be interesting....I would like to see you create a box.
There are so many wonderful box tutorials and you tube videos out there....I would prefer if you did it from scratch, a box die is fine as well or those simple origami fold boxes out of one sheet of paper etc, we would love it if you added a link to where you got the idea from or briefly tell us how you did it, but that is not essential...
Now I know for some of you this really is a challenge, do me a favour, don't just say, too hard...give it a try, you might just surprise yourself...
Can't wait to see your creations, so get to it....

Our wonderful sponsors for this challenge are :

Celebrating the Mums - Winner

Hi all, Susan here again with the winner or our second challenge.

However, before I tell you that we have a BIG announcement!

We have noticed that our followers are creeping up and have been getting a wee bit excited about that.  So, Hilde has decided that we will have a little incentive to see if we can get out followers to 100! This is what is to happen:

There will be a giveaway, some prizes and a digi freebie for ALL of our followers when we reach the 100 milestone!

So, to all our peeps  - get out there and let others know and we will all get a present!

Now, on to our winners for Challenge #2 - theme Mothers:

Well, obviously layouts are a bigger challenge than we thought they would be.  We only had two entries for our second challenge and that was disappointing, but they certainly were two lovely entries.

Here are the entries again if you haven't seen them yet.

Melissa Sunshine Honeybee entered this:

                                   
Melissa uses a beautiful photograph and papers

Gail Scott entered this one:

                                            
Gail's layout is digitally put together.

Of course, there can only be one winner for our wonderful prize.  This fortnight our prize has been donated by the wonderful folk at Bugaboo, who have generously offered seven digi's of the winner's choice.


                                                              

So, with out further ado - the winner is: Gail Scott

Congratulations Gail!
Please contact Barb to receive your prize at

You are also entitled to proudly display this badge
I won Badge

The DT also had fun creating our layouts and seeing what each other had done, sharing our stories about mothers.

Reminder of Challenge 3
Our next challenge is up 
 #3 ONE FOR THE GIRLS

I am sure you can all identify with this one and we expect lots of entries - keep them rolling in! A great prize again to be won  - this time our sponsor is Delicious Doodles!  

And remember - 100 followers and we will all get some love!
