Challenge #23 August

Good Morning and welcome to 
Not Just Cards Challenge Blog

Theme Always Anything Goes
Unlimited Entries
Unlimited links to other challenges
Unlimited fun!!

All we ask is you follow us please

We have some new sponsors this month which are not only new to the challenge blog but new to the craft world, so we are very pleased and very proud to be the first challenge blog to showcase these wonderful sponsors. We also have some of our old favourites joining us which we are so thankful to them for their continued support of our group.



The challenges are monthly. These will be the first Monday of the month. We will still have lots of fantastic sponsors and a fantastic design team. I have relaxed things for the team, they are now welcome to make cards or non card projects, but we always welcome you to try something new.

We also appreciate every single one of you that joins in our challenges but as you can see by todays post our team is always busy creating and playing. So, I have taken the choice to make commenting optional for our team. I am sure you can image the amount of work I throw at the girls and they are an amazing team, they just get on with it and a lot more, so I hope you are happy with this choice but we will, where we can, make time to come and visit you.

Julia Spiri

I absolutely love Art & Crafts! 
I have a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. But my first drawing lessons received from my father, he is a painter too.

For many years, I painted portraits, caricatures and child´s illustrations.

My hope is that you find in my shop graphics that make you smile and inspire you to create many things :)

Julia Spiri

If your looking for great value digi images, coloured images, papers, exclusives then look no further. This is a hidden treasure of a website. When you look at a set, you get everything in the set for your money NOT just one image and the prices are amazing!

SLSLines

I work as an illustrator and graphic designer and also as the Art Director of ArtTrader Magazine.  Prior to freelance illustrating, I worked as a Creative Designer for a music firm working with TV and advertising clients. And before that, in marketing and project management.
I spend my days and nights drawing geeky things like RPG characters, zombies, fairies, awkward people, pretty girls and odd animals. I love drawing comics and cartoon style art! I offer a broad range of fun digital stamps in many themes from geeky to cute and whimsical to realistic. My digital stamps start life as sketchy little doodles which are then cleaned up digitally in Photoshop and made presentable and perfect for you.

My favorite tools are my Wacom pen and tablet as well as Copic markers, lots of fineliners and many types of erasers (which are used often). My favorite artists include John Singer Sargent, Norman Rockwell, JC Leyendecker, Joe Sorren and Phil Hale. And Steve Epting too.
