Mid-Challenge Reminder and Inspiration

Hello there, it's Lynda here with a little mid-challenge reminder and a couple of inspirational pieces to share.  Carla and I have both created something using the "Let it Snow" theme.  Our challenge is still going on, you will have until December 30th to play along.  Do you have a favorite Fall or Wintery Elisabeth Bell Stamp?  How about the darling winter/Christmas stamps from Elphine House Australia?  Just a reminder about this months challenge....

You get 2 choices, you can either do one or both, and be sure to enter by December 30th, for a chance to win a fabulous prize from Elphine House Australia.

Sooooo the choice is yours....

"Autumn Leaves" Using any Elisabeth Bell Design...
OR

"Let it Snow..." using any Elisabeth Bell Design. 

 This challenge will end on December 30th, and winner will be announced on December 31st.

Please note: YOU MUST USE AN ELISABETH BELL Designed Stamp in order to qualify for a Prize. 

Carla has created this absolutely darling holiday snowy shaped card
Talk about some GORGEOUS inspiration.

My creation isn't quite as extravagant as Carla's, but I've used Ebony's Christmas Snowflakes from Elphine House Australia, and colored her in a golden color.
this is the first time I've attempted to make a snowy scene using "Gold" tones, instead of silver.

Lynne has also used Ebony's Christmas Snowflakes on her white on white card!

So why not scroll down, (or Click Here to go directly there)  and check out some "Fall" and/or "Snowy" creations and join us for these fun filled challenges.

We can't wait to see what you'll create.

We love us some Elphine House Australia stamps.  =)

IMPORANT UPDATE:
I thought we would do things a little bit different this month....
We were originally going to have a challenge theme of "Autumn Leaves, BUT...
I thought with this season being so busy,
We are going to give you the option to follow This Months Theme or next months theme.  Then rather than holding a challenge in December, we will announce our challenge winners on the 31st and regular challenges will begin again in January.

Sooooo the choice is yours....

"Autumn Leaves" Using any Elisabeth Bell Design...
OR

"Let it Snow..." using any Elisabeth Bell Design. 

 This challenge will end on December 30th, and winner will be announced on December 31st.
 

Please note: YOU MUST USE AN ELISABETH BELL Designed Stamp in order to qualify for a Prize. 

(Anyone using something other than an EB Design, will be deleted from inlinkz.)

To Qualify For Prizes:

If you are using a stamp that is an Elphine House Stamp,
You will win 2 stamps of your choice from EHA.
If you use an Elisabeth Bell design from any of the other companies,
Your prize will be 1 stamp from EHA and will come to you as a surprise package. EHA will choose the stamp for you.

After much consideration, Helen and Lew thought this would be the best way to promote Elphine House Australia! =)

  

Remember, if you do not use a design by Elisabeth Bell, Your entry will not be counted for the prize, and will be deleted from our list of entries.

Random.org will choose our winner next time, and will be announced at the beginning of the next challenge.

EHA Challenge #52 - "Shaped Cards"

Greetings Elphine House Friends,
It's time for a brand new Challenge.

We had a pretty easy challenge last month, considering ALL of Elisabeth Bells designs are CUTE.  I was surprised we didn't have more people join in.
Sadly, I had to delete a few entries, as they did not use an Elisabeth Bell stamp or digi.

 

Our Winner for last month's "Simply Cute" Challenge is

 In light of our changes, we have decided that we will NOT have a challenge this week. 

We currently have a Design Team Call going on.
So we hope that you'll take some time and give it a try.

All that is required is that you create something using a "Friendship" theme...
of course using

ANY Elisabeth Bell Design

If you think that you'd like to join our team, and create with some of Elisabeth Bells adorable clear polymer stamps, then Click here to enter.  The DT Call ends on August 31st.

What are the requirements?  - Simple really... 

• You will create a card, a paper-craft project, or scrapbook page (whichever and whatever you fancy) with every stamp sent to you via air mail, and post it on your blog at least once every 2 weeks, and linking back to Elphine House Australia.

• Submit photos of your creations to be posted on the DT's Yahoo Group.

• Be willing to upload designs onto Elisabeth Bell's Facebook Page, and include Elphine House Australia logo by your design, or link it back to Elphine House Australia.

• You are required to mail us at least two (2) hand-made  cards or designs using Elphine House Australia stamps each month for Elphine House Australia portfolio, which will be used for promotional purposes 

Our next challenge will be on September 18th.  EHA is switching to a MONTHLY CHALLENGE.  Which will of course give everyone lots of extra time to join us.  The challenges will be held on the 3rd Wednesday of each Month. (Australia time of course) 

We will be back to announce our newest DT members, and after that, on September 18th, to kick off our next challenge.
