Get Funky Challenge - May

Hi everyone, it's Enfys here this month, setting the challenge for May. First of all, thanks to everyone who joined in with the April Showers challenge - scroll down to see the winners.

I thought we could have some fun with

SHAPED CARDS

any size, any shape, as long as it's not one of the standard rectangle/squares

The rules are simple, make your project using at least one Funky Hand Product, give us a link to your blog so that we can come and see your creation, and get your entry in before midnight on the 31st May 2010

The winner will get a £20 Funky Hand voucher, and there will be coveted blog blinkies for the runners up

The team have really gone to town on their samples this month, first up is Allison, who used these really gorgeous papers from The Funky One to make this stunning box aperture card.

Next is Dolly, who grabs any chance to make one of her gorgeous handbags. The papers are from the     Retro Fun Word Book download, I just love those flowers - Lulu Guiness eat your heart out!
Jules used papers from The Funky One as well to make this funky new home card, look at the detail, don't you love the little flowers trailing up the house, and the acetate sentiment that looks just like puffs of smoke....



and Kath used Autumn Style and Juicy Lemons from the Dreams Come True CD to make this ultra bright and cheerful flowerpot card, I always love Kath's colour choices.....

Kathy used papers from the Shabby Saturday download, the watering can is one of the digi images on the  Dreams Come True CD. What a great idea to make that fringed grass.....

Ruth took shape quite literally, and made this cheeky bra and pants card, papers are from Retro Fun

She very cleverly used bits from a hair ornament for the bling...

Anice made a butterfly shaped card from the gorgeous new digi stamp download Flutterby Flowers - love that button and wire

Lythan made a little teapot based on the image from Dreams Come True and using Delightful Fun papers from the same CD.

I (Enfys) used Blue Magic papers from the Dreams Come True CD, a card cut on my cricut, and I couldn't resist a dragonfly cut in paper and acetate from the new download

So we hope we have given you some inspiration for your shaped cards.

Good luck with the challenge, we can't wait to see what you come up with...

April Showers Winner!

Thanks to everyone who joined in with our April challenge. It was such a joy to visit all the blogs and see the wonderful array of things you made.

I've been back to all the entries a few times now, trying to decide where the main prize should go - and it was a REALLY hard decision, I can tell you! Eventually though I just couldn't resist the lovely "4 Seasons" card made by .......

Siobhan

I loved the way the names of the seasons formed a clever border to your design, and how you mixed the different paper collections and digi images. What a great idea. You win April's £20 voucher to spend at Funky Hand, plus a blinkie for your blog to wear with pride!

I’d also like to award ‘Top 5’ blinkies to

Get Funky Challenge - April

A brand new month and a brand new challenge here on "Get Funky!" the challenge blog for all the fab Funky Hand goodies. First though, a great big THANK YOU to all who joined in with Dolly's "Girls, Girls. Girls" challenge last month - how much fun was that theme, then? What a great excuse to get good and girlie!

It's Kathy here this time and it's my very first time setting the challenge, so please be kind to me! Our theme is

April Showers

Any project you like - could be cards, books, Scrapbook pages.... whatever, it all counts as long as there's a rainy theme. The other thing to remember is that your project will only be eligible for the prize if you use at least one Funky Hand product - there are LOADS of papers and extras to choose from so that bit won't be difficult! Click HERE for a quick link to the Funky Hand website ;-).

Here's how to be in with a chance of winning this month's £20.00 voucher to spend at Funky Hand::

1. Add your April Showers project to your blog,

2. Don't forget to say which Funky Hand product(s) you've used,

3. Come back before midnight April 30th (UK time) and leave a message with a link so that we can see what you've made.

Our fabulous DT have made these Rainy Day cards to help get you thinking

First up here's Allison's card - look at all those fab flower digi images from the Dreams Come True CD all in a row. Aren't they gorgeous?  All the papers and lettering is from DCT too!

Jules has used images and papers from the V. Funky! (CD) I love the raindrops on this card, and the cluster of flowers is wonderful.

If only "real" clouds were as pretty as those on Lythan's card, eh? These papers are from Retro Fun which is the brand new download released just this week. We're all loving this set - the colours and designs are such fun to use

Kath has used some of the "Blue Magic" set of designs from Dreams Come True (CD) to make this card - see those flowers? They're cut out from one of the paper designs - aren't they cute?

I wish my "real" brolly was as cheerful as the umbrella on Dolly's card! What a lovely idea for a Get Well Soon card. These paper designs are from the Now that's Funky (CD)

Just look at these funky wellies Enfys has made with her Cricut and some more of the Dreams Come True papers - and don't you just love that sentiment?

Another pair of Wonderful Wellies, this time from Ruth, who's used papers printed from the Funky Daze CD to make this fab card, great for a gardener with all that rustic twine!

 And that leaves me, Kathy, to bring up the rear (so to speak!) I've used paper designs from the Dreams Come True CD  - it's bright, busy and brash, but hey, you can't say it's not cheerful!

So there you go, I hope you've enjoyed seeing what we've made this month and that you're itching to get started on your own project - we can't wait to see what you Get Funky with this time - just remember the 1.2.3. rules above to be in with a chance of winning that £20 Funky Hand spending spree!

Good Luck and Happy Crafting

March Challenge Winner!

Thanks for all the lovely entries for the March challenge. It was such a pleasure visiting you all to see your lovely cards and projects.

Unfortunately there were several entries that couldn’t be considered for the winning prize or a blinkie because they didn’t include a Funky Hand paper or extra. Just something to bear in mind for future challenges.

Now I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. This month’s winner, with two very pretty ‘MUM’ wordbooks is...

The first of the month again and that means time for another Get Funky Challenge.

A huge thanks to everyone who took part last month. It was great to see all your wonderful projects for Anice's ‘I Love Crafting’ challenge.
So on to this month's challenge. It’s my turn Dolly to set the theme which is.

Girls Girls Girls!

We all like making girlie cards don’t we and with Mother’s Day on 14th March it’s a perfect opportunity to get out the Funky Hand papers and join in the fun. It doesn’t have to be a Mother’s Day card though, you can make any girlie card or project you like, as long as it has at least one Funky Hand paper or extra included on it you can be up for the £20.00 prize voucher.
I’m sure you’ll agree the Design Team have come up with some fantastic eye candy for you this month.  Be sure to check out their individual blogs for more photos and details of their projects.
