Challenge #23 - Make It Sporty

Good morning Creative Crafty People, are you all bleary eyed from watching non-stop Olympic action? Did you all watch the Opening Ceremony? I thought the torch lighting was spectacular and how cool was David Beckham on that speedboat?

Of course we had to embrace this very special event with our latest challenge -

MAKE IT SPORTY

Our challenge is sponsored by Robyn's Fetish Digi Stamps and More. Our DT had a selection of Robyn's gorgeous little images to play with, but one appears to have been irresistible as you will see!

Here's what the team came up with:

Helen (using sponsor image)


Vanessa (using sponsor image)



Hilde


Jacq  



Mags B (using sponsor image)


Linda (sneaking it in a little late!!)

and me (Tracey - using sponsor image)


We are missing a creation from Linda this week as she had to have emergency surgery- obviously she was too impatient to wait for her scheduled op and had to add a bit of drama to her already drama-filled life! We wish her a speedy recovery.

Our lucky winner will win their choice of 5 digital stamps from Robyn's Fetish.


I hope you'll join us!

Winners - Challenge #22

Hello All,

It's a belated post at The Squirrel and The Fox today for I completely lost track of what day it was today. I think my brain is still a little foggy from the flu and with my Squirrel partner in hospital and unable to give me a not-so-subtle reminder - I missed this morning's deadline. Still, hopefully it's better late than never to announce the winner and our Top 3.

So without futher ado, my good friend Random.org has selected our winner and it is:




Congratulations Julie, you have won 7 free digis from our wonderful sponsor Bugaboo.

Please contact us at thesquirrelandthefox@hotmail.com to find out how to claim your prize. Please also collect your Winners' badge from the side bar.

Choosing the Top 3 was as tricky as always, kids and baby cards are just so darn cute! But eventually it was narrowed down and here are our three top picks:







Congratulations Ladies, your Top 3 badge is ready and waiting for you in the side bar. I hope you'll display it proudly on your blog.

We will be back with a new challenge tomorrow.

Challenge #21 - Christmas In July

Hello All and welcome to a new challenge at The Squirrel and The Fox.

As I am sure you are all aware, here in Australia Christmas falls in the middle of Summer. When temperatures are sweltering it means the idea of a traditional Christmas feast is just too hard to contemplate. Unless you are prepared to travel, dreaming of a white Christmas is an exercise in futility! So many Aussies also celebrate Christmas in July, when the weather is at its coldest. Here we can bundle up in our winter woolies, eat a traditional Christmas roast, snuggle up by the fire and see how those in the Northern Hemisphere enjoy their Christmas.

So of course given today is the first day of July, it's only fitting our theme for this challenge be

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Our challenge this fortnight is sponsored by Digi Doodle Shop and they are offering our lucky winner digi images from their store.

I am also excited to welcome two new members to our furry family - Vanesssa and Mags B are making their debut in this challenge. Thank you to everyone who applied to be part of our DT, we were thrilled you wanted to join us, unfortunately we just didn't have space to take you all.

Here is what our team came up with:

Vanessa (using sponsor image)



Mags B (using sponsor image)


Lisabee (using sponsor image)


Hilde (using sponsor image)


Jacqui


Helen (using sponsor image)



Linda (using sponsor image)


and me (Tracey)

I know many of you out there are super efficient and have already started your Christmas cards - but if you haven't, here's the perfect excuse to get cracking.

I hope you'll join us!
