Challenge # 38 - Anything Goes!

Thursday 23 September 2010
Morning All!!
Time for a brand new challenge but before I get into the detail let me just thank each and every one of you that took the time to enter last weeks challenge, your interpretations of the sketch were marvellous! All the winners have been announced in the previous post so don't forget to check and see if it was you! Well, let's move onto this weeks challenge which was chosen by myself, Carol, a nice and easy one for ya -

Anything Goes.

Get your thinking caps on show us what you got!
We are proud to have not one but two sponsors again this week :

Prize One -
Prize 1 - 5 Digis of your choice!
And here is an introduction to Prairie Fairy :
Hello! I am Roberta from Prairie Fairy Designs. I am a new digital stamp company featuring artwork not only created by me but also my two kids, ages 8 and 11. They are featured on the site as the Fairy Princess and the Prairie Prince.
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and have always loved to create. Two years ago my sister-in-law invited me to a rubber stamp party. I laughed and said "Maybe I will buy something if I can use it to stamp on canvases.". Needless to say, I was hooked! Two years later and a lot of learning about computers, I have finally accomplished my goal.
While digital stamping is relatively new in the papercrafting scene, it is what I believe to be such an amazing tool. Printed images have such clarity and vibrancy and gone is the need to re stamp an image because you didn't press hard enough or maybe you pressed too hard! They are also a lot easier to store and they can be reprinted over and over again. The fact that you can rotate and flip files, print them off the size of a postage stamp or as large as a scrapbook page makes them such a versatile medium. It is my sincere hope that I can help anyone who has hesitations about using digital images to embrace these amazing creative tools. If you have any questions about going digital, check out the site and the blog (http://www.prairiefairy.blogspot.com/) for more information, tips and tutorials. So head on over to http://www.prairiefairydesigns.com/ and check it out!
