Challenge 52 - Watermelon

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a great week. The scrapwhispers team game started this week and I understand things are running smoothly! If you are playing, don't forget to check in with your DT leader in your team group in the forums!

This week in the UK and I understand elsewhere too the weather hasn't been all that great. Craving sunshine and summer we decided this week to indulge ourselves in a summery themed challenge.

We would like you to use the humble watermelon as your inspiration to create a card or a layout. You could use the one or more of the colours from the watermelon, create a layout about a watermelon or perhaps use the lyrics from the song "watermelon crawl" !! The choice is yours - simply be inspired by the watermelon! :)

This is what the DT came up with to give you some ideas this week:

Leah

Georgina
Nilsa

Rosey

Telah

Helen

Sarah

Kelly

We have added another wonderful prize to the January prize pack, which is becoming a very attractive prize as time goes on! All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is take part in the watermelon challenge by midnight on Saturday 23rd January 2010. You can enter as many times as you want to.

Leave us a comment in this post with a link to your projects wherever else they are on the internet.

Or alternatively upload your creation to our gallery quoting "challenge 52".

Challenge 51 - Turquoise and Purple

Happy Sunday everyone, hope you are all well. We have a fun colour challenge for you this week. We challenge you to use the colours turquoise and purple on a layout or card. It can be any shade of each of the colours but we think they make a great combination, especially if you have lots of snow pictures to scrap!

Here is what our DT came up with:

Helen

Kelly
Leah

Nilsa

Rosey

Sarah

Telah

We are easing you in slowly this week with a challenge that will be open to interpretation. We want you to simply create a layout inspired by the phrase "Stars and Spikes" - it is entirely up to you how you interpret this, maybe decorate your layout with stars, use the word spike - it is up to you. Have some fun (hopefully use some of your new christmas craft goodies) be creative and see what you come up with.
