Wood or Trees (See the Wood for the Trees) Mid Challenge Reminder

We are back today with our 'See the Wood for the Trees' Mid Challenge Reminder.  As always, the DT have been having a great time looking at the fabulous entries for this Challenge, keep them coming.

We have two wonderful Guest Designers today, Branka and Deanne recently won our 'Autumn' Challenge, if you are not familiar with their work, you can check out their blogs 'Vintage Handmade' and 'Little Bit 'O Paper'.

We asked our Guest Designers to tell us a little about themselves....

Branka

  My name is Branka (aka Vintage Handmade) and I come from a beautiful European country Croatia. I am a mother of two amazing children and a wife of a wonderful husband.

I have been crafting since my childhood and after a lot of experimenting I fell into mixed media art and art journaling a few years ago. My style is rather eclectic, trying to express myself in different styles, playing with different mediums, techniques and materials. 

Deanne

My name is Deanne Clarke-Saunders. My hubby and I live in Paradise, Newfoundland Canada.  I was an elementary teacher for 23 years but retired early.  I am now an Early Childhood Educator (couldn’t stay away from the kiddies!!).  I have always enjoyed playing with paper, scissors, glue, and ESPECIALLY crayons and pencil crayons, ever since I’ve been a small child. I just couldn’t stop playing, so I continued by scrapbooking and card-making!  I love it!!! My hubby calls me a paper hoarder. He just MAY be right, but I’d never tell him that!!! A man doesn’t need to know he’s right!!! haha!

Our Design Team ladies have been busy in their craft roomsmaking a few more items to, hopefully, inspire you.

See the Wood for the Trees

With the arrival of Storm Angus this weekend the weather in the UK has been very wintery - wet and windy in most places and snow in some areas of the north.  We had 'Weather Warnings' and some were even advised to stay home if possible.  Really not a week to be out if you can avoid it, so why not stay home and craft?

Our new challenge starts here today and it could just be the inspiration your need.  'See the Wood for the Trees' will hopefully get your imagination working, include imges of trees or wood grain in your design, or even decorate a wooden object.  It is all about the wood, you can use any materials you like, to make anything you like, for example, a card, an altered box, a gift bag, an ACT, a scrapbook page, an inchie.

Our wonderful Design Team ladies have come up with a few beautiful cards to give you an idea of the sort of thing we have in mind.
