CHALLENGE #102022 - ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST: CIRCLES AND SQUARES

Hello Crafty Makers!

This month the optional twist is circles and Squares.

This is a fun twist that encompasses a myriad of design choices.  The circles and squares could be the shape of your card, the design of your background paper, stenciled designs, embossed designs, embellishments, tags, or the shape of your window on a shaker.  And, of course, any combination of the above would be delightful!

CHALLENGE #092022 - ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST: FANTASY

Optional Theme: Fantasy

Create a project using anything related to FANTASY:  Fairies, Gnomes, Fairy Tale Characters, etc.

FEATURED ARTIST

Andrea Norris
 Owner 
Living in Leeds, Yorkshire in the UK, working full-time as a Management Accountant, and currently working on 3 design teams, I’m an obsessive crafter and creator.  I have no actual style but do love the unusual and quirky.


I love anything arty.  I've always drawn stuff on and off for as long as I can remember.   In my younger days, I sold a few watercolor paintings.  I more recently found mixed media which is a joy and love creating canvases with flowers.


I had a battle with digital drawing for about a year and finally found some software I could gel with.  In January 2016, a challenge team I worked on was short of a designer's images to create with so I drew some.  I opened my shop a month later so I could sponsor challenges and give something back to the crafting world, to the lovely ladies who have supported me on my journey.


I have a Facebook group SheepSki Designs where I hold challenges, some for fun to win digis as well as my monthly card challenge.  I have a SheepSki Designs challenge blog as well.


We would love to see SheepSki images used in your projects!
