What's the Weather? Challenge

Spring is in the Air and so is a new challenge..... funny how these 2 go together! ;)

Here at Jellypark Friday Friends Challenges we want to celebrate all kinds of weather! but first we are going to announce the winners of the fun Craft challenge:

1 . Tine
2 . ineke da cruz
3 . NanaConnie

Thank you so much to everyone who played along! Would our Top 3 winners please grab the badge on the right side bar for your blog? and Tine, please send Claire an email at jellypark at live.co.uk with your choice of a digital image from the Jellypark store.

As I mentioned in the previous post, this is the end of our winter DT term. This team has worked so hard to bring your wonderful projects to inspire your creativity. if you get a moment, please pop by their blogs to tell them how much you appreciate all they have done. :)

Springtime brings with it all kinds of wild and wacky weather. So our challenge is for you to create a papercraft project that reflects the weather somehow. It could be through your image, diecuts, designer paper, embellies, whatever floats your little boat! But we want to see something about the weather when we look at your project.

Remember the few rules that we have - make sure it's new and family friendly, limit yourself to 2 entries please, and link your individual blog post to here while mentioning Jellypark Friday Friends. the complete list of rules is over on the side bar. you are welcome to use any images or stamps you would like, but a Jellypark image will get you an extra entry into the chance for Top 3. One winner will receive their choice of a digital image from the Jellypark store! :)

psssssst....... here's a little secret for you...... Claire has a few freebies here in the store that would be PERFECT for this challenge! and don't forget the Little Haven fundraising images, too!

Winter Wonderland Challenge

It's brrrrrr cold here and starting to snow again, so our new challenge theme is absolutely perfect!

But before we get to that, we need to crown our Top 3 from the last challenge - Something in my Pocket. How fun to see all of the neat interpretations! Thank you so much to everyone who played along! :)

1. Renee
2. Amanda C.
3. CardarTart

Please be sure to grab the cute new badge over on the right sidebar for your blog! Renee, choose one of the fun digi images from the Jellypark store and send an email to Claire at jellypark at live.co.uk letting her know which one you've picked. :)

Don't forget that the brand new Jellypark Juniors is up and running! anyone 16 years and younger is invited to play along! Lots of fun entries so far, over 20!!!, so tell everyone you know! :)

Well as I had mentioned before, the snow had me in mind of our new challenge - Winter Wonderland. Can't wait to see what YOU decide to make! just remember the few rules that we do have - keep it family friendly, current projects only, and limit your entries here to 2 per time frame. if you use an image from the Jellypark store, you get an extra chance at being chosen for the Top 3.

Also, be sure that your project actually fits our challenge. Lately some have been entering projects that really don't have anything to do with our theme. while we appreciate you thinking of us, you not only won't qualify for the Top 3, but we will delete your entry. We do need to keep it fair to everyone. thanks!

So let's see what the DT has for us.......

Jen Leeflang

Jen Leeflang (aka JenLee)
Durban, South Africa based Jen Leeflang finally ignored the advice of a school's career counselor who 'wisely' told her there was "no career in art". Years later, her artistic and creative skills have resulted in a business which keeps her extremely busy and feeds her artistic soul!
From papercrafts, painting, designing digistamps and drawing to needlecrafts where she designs, makes and beads belly dance show costumes.
In the mornings she is a home school tutor to four teenagers, including her own two younger sons, and in the afternoons she ‘plays’ in her craft studio. In between she finds the time to be a wife and mother. Jen has been married to Pete for nearly 23 years, and they have 3 sons, Nicholas, Blayne and Kellan.

Jenn Borjeson

I'm 40 years old, been crafting for about 10 years now. I started with cards and have blossomed into creating lots of other stuff including ATC's, tags, art journals, altered items - and I love Mixed Media. I love using Gesso, paints, Smooch Spritzes and sprays, etc. Glitter is my best friend. I love ribbons, gems, buttons, and brads.... I also use digi images way more than rubber now, although I still can't part with most of my rubber! I'm married to a wonderful guy named Jeremy and we have 2 kids. Trevor is 18 and in his first year of college. Cassidy is 16 and a junior in high school. We live in Worcester, MA but we plan to relocate to California or Arizona within the next 5 years. I have a part-time job at the local community college, I have perfect hours that don't get in the way of my crafting. LOL My other hobbies/interests are reading (Stephen King), writing (mostly personal stuff), and hanging out with my family.

Jerusha Borden

I am a stay at home mom to two cute boys under the age of six. They definitely keep me on my toes but I feel very blessed to have them in my life. One of the reasons why I love paper crafting so much is because I am overloaded with trucks and dinosaurs and most recently, trains...and I love to escape that by being lost in my crafting. It is very relaxing and I love being able to use the talents that God has given me in this way. Fortunately for me, I have a wonderful husband who supports me in this craft and encourages me to create as often as I can, even purchasing new crafty things for me from time to time. I craft all year round, but I especially love crafting the blues away in snowy Canadian weather.

Lisa Sumpter

My name is Lisa and I live in Leicestershire, England with my hubby and furbaby. I am primarily a card maker and love being surrounded by pretty papers, pretty stamps and colouring mediums. I really enjoy entering craft challenges, I find them inspiring and push me into trying out new things. Hopefully as a member of the Jellypark Friends Friday Challenge DT I can inspire you too!

Mel Harding

I'm a stay at home mum who loves to craft, I'll have a go at making anything but I'm particularly passionate about papercrafting which I've been doing for over 10 years now. Just turned 40 and having the time of my life.

Ruth Cunliffe

I love digital crafting - it takes up less space and I don't have to dust it (housework is evil!) I've always messed around with bits of paper, glue and empty boxes so its a natural progression to move into papercrafting. I enjoy crafting with a sense of humour and the quirkiness of hand drawn images. My two boys are my biggest fans and critics and I have to be careful of using too much pink but anything male related is good!

Tracey Vincent

I'm Tracey & I have been crafting in some shape or form since I was a little girl. When I'm not in my craft room making lots of (creative) mess I work in a Doctors surgery.
