Challenge #18 - Quirky Home Sweet Home.

Hi everyone! Here's Kemly! 

We have a new challenge in Quirky Crafts Challenges!


Our theme challenge is: 

We want to see in your projects everything about your house or your dream house.
For example: a nice house, a window with flowers, in front of a beautiful house , a warm room, the warmth of home. Everything that reminds us of our home.

 Our Sponsor for this challenge is:

The Cutting Cafe.

Our sponsor has generously provided two file sets for the Design Team 

and the Guest Designer to showcase, and three wonderful prizes too. 

Files sets come in several formats and can be used in various creative options, you can use them on electronic cutting machines or print and cut by hand.

The prizes are:

1st Prize: 3 sets from The Cutting Café store. 

2nd Prize: 2 sets from The Cutting Café store. 

3rd Prize: 1 set from The Cutting Café store.  

For some inspiration you share our projects:

GUEST DESIGNER: 

MARTHA

Martha made such a cute little house full of love using the 3d Houses file set, look at those roof tiles. We love it Martha!

DESIGN TEAM:

MONICA

For me the perfect house is full of windows, light and air, so for my project I choose "Window Sill Shaped Card" cutting files, provided by our generous sponsor.

GABRIELA

 For my project I made a WINDOW SILL SHAPED with many colorful flowers, thanks to our sponsor THE CUTTING CAFE

KEMLY

To my project I used 3D House Set. 

I made  a little house of dreams, full of flowers and some details with pink crystals representing small candies, such as sweet  should be a home .

DORIS

For this week, I chose the 3D House file, from our amazing sponsor The Cutting Cafe. Come to my blog for more detail.

Cazzy will be along later - once she has mastered her new machine! Well that took a little longer than I hoped, but here I am!

Here it is at last, and probably could be better but not bad for a start. I made the smallest house from 3d Houses, and didn't make it open. I've added mosaic for the path, little flowers and dots of pink Liquid Pearls. I added lace round the box base and ric rac to the house.

Side view....

...back view with "gravel" path. the ric rac isn't quite right, looks worse now I see the photo!

Winners for challenge #16 Quirky's gone fishing.

It's winner's time, and we had a lot of fun with this challenge. We only had 10 entries but they were all good ones, and it is Summer holiday (vacation) time in the UK and elsewhere which probably affected entries a little.

To remind you we were generously sponsored by:

Crackerbox Palace

Who provided some great images to the team to show you and have provided all three prizes to our top three.

So here are our top three as voted by the team:

In first place we chose Stampartpapel with a very fishy card, loving those cut outs.

Congratulations  Stampartpapel, you have won  3 digital images of your choice .


In second place we chose Twisted Witch with this brilliant fisherman card complete with hooks, lures and netting and it is stitched round the edges too. Great sentiment and detail.

Congratulations Twisted Witch, you have won 2 digital images of your choice.


In third place we chose Nanna Connie with this very amusing pelican card. Loving the fish peeping out of his crop!

Congratulations Nanna Connie, you have won 1 digital image of your choice.

I've decided to make a new badge and that is for the DT's personal favourite entry, because we all vote differently (well not all of the time) sometimes our favourite entry doesn't make top 3, sometimes it does.

I would like to say my personal favourite entry which didn't make the top 3 was from:

 Katrina Button

I can't give you a prize sadly, but I can send you a special badge and you are invited to be a guest designer too.

Well done everyone who entered and congratulations to our top three. Please all of you contact me (Cazzy) using the email link or the contact form in the sidebar. I will send your personalised winner's badge and if you tell me your choice of digital images I will pass them to our sponsor for you.
We would love all three of you to be our guest designers in the next challenge, please tell me you can!


Thank you to everyone who entered, and don't forget to check back later today to find out about our new challenge!
