FROM THE HOME!

Moving right along with things to do during the Spring we decided to do a challenge based on Spring Cleaning.  What better way to start but, to use something from your home on your project.  It could be anything from make up to tools in the house.  Let's see how creative you can get and show us your creations.  Make sure you note in your blog post what special household item you used to be eligible to win a $10 voucher to Aspire To Thrive Shop from our Sponsor INCY WINCY DESIGNS

Aspire To Thrive Children's Charities (was Incy Wincy Children's Charities - hence the challenge blog name) was started by a group of dart friends here in Elizabeth and Salisbury ,South Australia - who wanted to give something back to the community. A group of us have continued to do through out the last 2 years and we have been shown the amount of difficulty our society has towards children with special needs. There are a lot of charities out there who help children with terminal illnesses so we thought we could aim more towards learning and behavioural difficulties.

We are in talks now with a local kindergarten to see what we can do to help them. This would be a wonderful project and I hope with all my heart this goes ahead.

We have found an official home base now and are going from strength to strength.

ALL our work is voluntary and we get no ongoing assistance from anyone. We have gotten a few tiny grants to help with uniforms and equipment, for which we are grateful.

Our shop at www.aspiretothrive.com.au are donated drawings and ALL money (minus paypal costs) go directly into the charity.

We are grateful for any sales, help or donations (cards etc for our stalls)

Any questions please feel free to contact us

Thank you

Our Design Team used images for this great store and had a blast.  Here are their creations to give you some ideas on what you can use............

                                                        Tammy :  Tammy used black thread

Kate :  Kate used my Virgin Vie eye makeup instead

of distress ink and a cotton pad instead of a sponge

Anne :  Anne used old eye makeup instead of

 chalks for background (blue and brown)

                                                           Nataliya :  Nataliya used her husband's

                                                              shaving gel for background paper

                                                          Molly :  Molly used her husband's

                                                                         hair gel as glue

Beth :  Beth used light cherry blossom and clear nail

polish and cut a piece of gauze bandage for a ribbon (colored it

brown with a copic marker)

                                                   Carolynne :  Carolynne used eyeshadow for

                                                 bricks and cut up box for frame and sentiment

Janette :  Janette used a paper bun case that she inked

and glittered. She also used old eyeshadow on the Piano and the

 edges of the die cut.

There you have it.  Some great ideas to get your creative juices going.  So, lets see what you all come up with and remember to add in your blog post what you used from home!!!  We can't wait to see what you come up with.

  but I am never happier than when I am creating.

ST Patrick'd Day

Hello! Hard to believe it's March and thankfully Spring is around the corner. YAY!!!  Also, one of my favorite days falls in March and thats St. Patrick's Day.  Im not Irish but, I love everything about celebrating it!  So, that will bring us to our next challenge. 

This challenge is being brought to you by our Sponsor Tiffany's Doodles. 

Hi! I'm Tiffany, owner of TiffanyDoodles. My background is web design, graphic design & photography. I have been self employed for nine years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my work! Since childhood, I've always been creative and taken great pleasure in drawing and painting. In 2009, I discovered the stamping and paper crafting world and just fell in love!! In a very short order, I began transforming some of my drawings and doodles into digis. It has truly been a joy to share them with folks. I get so thrilled every time I see something new that someone has created with one of my stamps!! Each design is like a child of mine and it is really neat to see it all grown up and out in the world being all it can be. LOL!

All of my digital stamps are originally created by me and of the multiple styles I offer, most are hand-drawn images. Some are brushed up in Photoshop using the pen tool to produce very clean lines and others are left with a sketchy, rustic, hand-drawn look. An additional digi-style is one that I've dubbed as PhotoSketches and these are images from my photographs which I transformed into sketches with a little help from Photoshop. These beauties make splendid realistic images for stamping!

Please stop by Tiffany's store here.  You will be missing out on all the cute images that she has to offer.

The challenge this time is to create a project/card using the colors GREEN, GOLD/YELLOW, and WHITE in the Theme of St Daricks Day. 

FIRST PRIZE WILL BE 2 DIGITAL IMAGES FROM TIFFANY'S DOODLES STORE.

SECOND PRIZE WILL BE A GUEST DESIGNER TEAM SPOT FOR OUR NEXT CHALLENGE.

Thank you so much Tiffany!!!!!

This week we also have a Guest Design Team Member so please say hello to Jenny!!!!

I am thrilled to be joining the 'Stampin with the Dragon' team as Guest Designer today.
