I cant believe you have timed this one with me having another cup of tea, between crafting, lol,
I am only used to making cards when I stamp,
would be nice to do something that I am not comfortable with, like altering things, or making things that also include stamping,
Thanks for a great day,
Hugs

I am new to stamping which your blog is all about so a great step forward to me, I also love decoupage, punching and stitching and already know that these techniques also work so well with stamping so over to you talented ladies.
Back to my barbecue now and so pleased I caught this post. -x-

it would be great to have something different each week to inspire us to try something out of our comfort zones such as a sketch, a colour combo, a specific item to use/alter, design a gift package/ present and to try different techniques,

Hi I love stamping and would love to see tutorials on techniques (embossing, masking,triple embossing, watermarking, are some but there are many more) and then a challenge for us to try them out or if we can already do them to stretch us a bit! I also love using polymer clay so perhaps a challenge where u stamp on something other than paper! Thanks for all the fun hugs Pascale

Emma said...

Hi, I love following sketches. But how about sketches wth an added extra. The added extra would be a technique or embellie or certain colours - you get the drift.

Thanks, Liz x

Toni said...

I would love to see a weekly tutorial on how to make a certain project or technique--I also love sketch challenges--but color inspired challenges are good too--especially if I have to think outside the box. As long as the challenges are fairly simple and not requiring fancy supplies to make them, i will be back to check out your blog week after week.

Vickie said...

So far everything is great! I am hoping to see theme challenges. Also using embellishments challenges. That sort of thing. But you gals will already be doing that:)

pinky said...

I would like to see anything that will make us dig deeper into the crafting world, new and exciting challenges please. My blog is here

Melisa Waldorf said...

I would like to see a mixture of challenges. I get a little overwhelmed trying to keep up with all the challenges at SCS. So it would be nice to have a favorite blog that I could check in at weekly, that post a variety of challenges. There are a gazillion sketch challenge blogs out there. I would like to see technique challenges or catagory challenges like the one you posted today that inspire our creativity but don't limit it too much.

Chrissy's Creations said...

I love your challenges and the only thing I can think of to add would be to use items like lace, fabric notions and charms. Things not normally used right off. Also different sized cards and paper crafting. Thanks!!

scrappyjacky said...

I love sketches...they give you a basis to work from...but can also stretch your thinking a bit....an optional extra can always be added such as a colour combo,particular embellishments,stamping etc.

tamtam said...

Wow, what a great blog and wonderful design team. I can't believe how talented all of you ladies are!

I love seeing tutorials that are very explicit and easy to follow. So many times a tutorial doesn't give you enough info to create the project.

Love altering things and anything vintage looking....thanks for such an awesome blog.

hugs,

Alisha said...

I am so excited that there is a new challenge blog for me to participate in! I would really like to see challenges that are unique and different from all the other challenges that are on the internet.

I don't have a blog but my e-mail address is scrappinmills@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Alisha

Gry-Heidi said...

I would love to have different challenges each week :) Reiceipt, colours, folding technics, sketches, and themes "not use" ex. flowers, green etc.

Hugs, Gry-Heidi

Hege said...

I would love to see some tutorials on different techniques and how to use different products (eg. glimmermist, liquid pearls). A color theme challenge or sketch is also fun to do. To make something that is not a card could also be a challenge.

Rachel Bleich said...

I love to see what the challenge's are about, but am always afraid to do one. I love sketches as it helps me get started, but I guess color, altering something, or a list of 2-5 specific embellishments would be fun too. I will get brave someday soon....

Anne said...

I'd love to see some tutorials on different techniques as well as the challenges.
Also some different things to take us out of our comfort zone rather than just a card.
Recipies are great and sketches to follow too.
You've got off to a great start already so I think your onto a winner without the suggestions lol

Danielle Richard said...

The easiest thing for me is sketches...Love Em...but I would also like to be challenged outside my comfort zone and do some projects with different stamping techniques.

Awesome Blog!!
So glad to be a Guest Designer!!!

Hugs

Ida / Little said...

I would love to see challenges for all other occasions then birthdays. I.e, wedding days(pearl, silver etc etc), new home, travel cards, table cards for parties etc etc. Also like Hege mentioned, tutorials, I love these and there are so many techniques I have no clue on how to do/use. :)

Hugs Ida

Julia said...

Congrats on the new blog. I am always up for some fun. I like sketch challenges, color challenges, technique challenges. Also tutorials for making altered projects are always fun. I love altered projects.

redsmomma said...

Hmmm.... Im one of the many that loves sketches, but there is a lot of sketch challenges out there. Something I would like to see in the future would be maybe some different folding tutorial and different techniques. I love to learn new things!

Lisa said...

Hi, The challenges I like are colour challenges, sketch challenges, recipe challenges. Like many other people have suggested it would be good to have some tutorials. x

Callie said...

Themed challenges... like create a card based on this sketch, with a coffee theme and you have to use ribbon, three buttons, and one flower. Just an example there!
Any kind of challenges are good for me! I'm up for anything that gets to me to think outside the box... projects rather than just cards to change things up a bit.

Christine said...

I love all challenges; they are what gives me some inspiration. Being new to stamping and card making, I would love to see some technique challenges with tutorials.

Blessings,
Christine

SemSee said...

I really love sketch challenges (being quite new to crafting), but as others have suggested, I would really like to see some technique challenges (with tutorials for those who may have never come across that particular technique before). I also agree with Callie, some really inspiring and well thought out themed challenges would be fun (whilst I love making Easter cards and Mother's Day cards, something a little more 'out there' would be a great challenge).

Hugs, SemSee

Ceal said...

I am addicted to challenge blogs, I usually like to see how many I can incorporate into one card but I cannot do that here. I like sketches and unique challenges

Swedie said...

I really like the 3D items.. usually called "anything but a card". The ideas are frequently amazing!

Deb said...

I like theme challenges, like the New Beginnings today. The bonus challenge was great as it had a list of things to include. I always like to learn new techniques and be challenged to try them.
