Sweet Sugar Challenges

Challenge 7

2008-05-26T10:29:00.000-07:00

Okay so a week late however, last weekend I pulled my back and was in soooo much pain. I was laid up the majority of the week and it still hurts a little. There was no way I could have sat at the computer or my desk! Unfortunately I have not been able to take place in the challenge but the team have come up with some fantastic work and what a varuety!! This week's challenge is to make something different with your Sugar Nellies thats not a card!

I hope the team inspires you and you take the challenge yourself! Remember post a link direct to your blog with your entry and also leave your full name.

I am also searching for some new team members. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be checking every participant's blog and going to choose a couple of full time members plus some guest members too!

So here's the teams work:

Challenge 6

2008-04-14T11:22:00.000-07:00

I can't believe another two weeks have passed by and it's time for challenge 6. This time I challenge you to make a card without patterned paper! The team have come up with some fabulous cards with some great ideas using cardstock only.

Apologies as I never got round to looking at anyones entries last time and nor have I put them up on here. It's a job that needs doing.

Please post a link direct to your card in the comments together with your name. Have fun with this weeks challenge.

Challenge 5 is to make TWO (yes two!!!) cards for those very hard people in our lives - men and boys! So get your creative thinking caps on and make two male themed cards.

To take part just post a comment along with your name and link to your card. Hope you enjoy this one. I did!

The team have come up with some fabulous examples, so a MASSIVE thanks to them. I really appreciate the hard work they do and I hope you find them very inspirational.

Challenge 4

2008-03-18T12:12:00.001-07:00

It's that time again, another challenge. First of all though I would like to thank everybody that took part in Challenge 3, it was the best one yet with more people taking part than ever. I hope you will all stick with us and carry on taking part.

Secondly, I would like to introduce a new member to the challenge team, Deb. I hope you will all welcome Deb into the team and I cannot wait to see the cards she produces for the challenges.

On to Challenge 4, this week the challenge was to produce a card for Easter. Okay so we are cutting it a bit fine as this is in four days but I'm sure you will all rise to the challenge!

Again just post a comment with your name and link to your card (a direct link to the card would be better as it's sometimes a few days before I have a peek and that way I can see it quicker).

The team came up with some fab challenges again this time round.

Update

2008-01-25T09:18:00.000-08:00

Just a quick update to say that I've extended the deadline until tomorrow. Purely because I'm not going to be around until tomorrow evening to look at things here. So, if you would like to enter your cards to become part of the challenge team then please do!

Also, I just wanted to say that this is not official and I am in no way associated with Sugar Nellie, nor is this a design team for Sugar Nellie. This is just a fun challenge blog and I'm looking for members to become a part of the challenge design team. I just want to challenge and inspire people to use their Sugar Nellie stamps or if they don't have any, inspire them to buy some so they can join in!

Can't wait to get started!!

New Challenge Blog and DT Shout Out

2008-01-17T11:04:00.000-08:00

Yes another one. This is one with a difference. These challenges are based on cards made with Sugar Nellie Stamps and are just for fun, who knows we may run challenges with prizes if we are lucky! The idea is to build up a huge gallery of inspiration for these little babies! Challenges will be posted on a fortnightly basis on a Monday night.

Challenges will start as soon as I have found some DT members. So, if you want to become a Sweet Sugar Challenges DT Member then let me know. Just post or e-mail a link to some of your Sugar Nellie creations and I will choose 4 people for the DT (5 with me!). I will require an e-mail address so I can contact those lucky peeps that are successful so please let me have your e-mail addresses when you post/e-mail. You don't need to have a blog to submit, you can e-mail me a few of you Sugar Nellie cards. All I ask for entrants is that you can spare a few minutes (or hours depending on how long it takes to make!!) to make a card for that fortnight's challenge. Closing date for entries to the DT will be 25th January 2008. I will contact the 5 lucky peeps over that weekend (26th/27th). The first challenge will hopefully be up just after that.

Can't wait to see your creations and look forward to launching this blog fully!
