Challenge 118 - Week Two


Welcome to Challenge #118 -Week Two
Oct 23 -Nov 4
Theme: TWO or THREE Word Sentiment

Click HERE for the Winner and Top Five for Challenge #117

First thing I want to share with you is this week's
FREEBIE SENTIMENT
created by Ginny H from our Design Team!
You are welcome to copy and paste any or all of the sentiments for your personal use.  Two things I would ask of you is to give credit to Ginny H if you use her word art and leave a comment for her to acknowledge her time and effort.  I have linked her name above to her website, or you can leave a comment on this post if you like!  Thank you!
And as incentive for you to use one of the sentiments on one or more of your entries, if you put a GH (for Ginny H) behind your name on your entry, we will choose a winner and SPOTLIGHT your project at the start of our next challenge. 
We have two versions of each sentiment - one a jpg and one a png file.
ENJOY!



















I want to mention again how much we appreciate The Paper Shelter for sponsoring this challenge!  TPS has provided images for our DT to showcase for your inspiration and they are providing the prize for this challenge's winner - a $15.00 Gift Certificate!





And now, more of the Aud Sentiment's very creative Designers 
have provided their take on the current theme:

Ginny G from RubberMad
using "It's Time for Tea"  from The Paper Shelter
and a sentiment by Ginny H 


Lalkygirl from My-Creative-Place
using Si Belle

Mandy from Paper Panda
using si belle

Marie from Kompis-Kort-By-Mi
using Hope

Sandie from Fairy Tale Day Dream
using It's Tea Time





Quick Summary of our Rules
1) As you might guess from our name - -we require a SENTIMENT!  Your sentiment needs to be appropriate for the theme/challenge.  That's it. You are not required to use anything specific, just the sentiment.  If you make a card and put the sentiment on the inside instead of the front, you need to include a picture [in your blog post] that shows us the sentiment.
2) You can enter up to 5 times and enter as many other challenges as you like
3)Other details regarding our challenges can be found by going to the tab at the top of the page titled "Challenge Rules".
Challenge #118- "Two or Three Word Sentiment"

Challenge 118 - 2 or 3 Word Sentiment

Welcome to Challenge 118
Oct 23 -Nov 4
Theme: 2 or 3 word Sentiment

Each of the DT is asked to name our TOP FIVE entries so we can narrow it down to our winners.  For this last challenge #117, I finally narrowed it down to the TOP TWENTY-ONE!   Hmmm.  Somehow, Julie managed to get the Top Five and the Winner out of us, and she posted them last night, so if you want to see if you won - merely scroll down to the previous post!

For #118 we are challenging you to create a project using a Sentiment of TWO or THREE words!  
Remember you can enter up to 5 times and enter as many other challenges as you like.  Other details regarding  challenges rules can be found by going to the tab at the top of the page titled "Challenge Rules".

 I have good news for you - we once again have some fabulous Word Art to offer you as Freebies!  Our very own Ginny H has started playing with different sentiments for you... here is the first set {one jpg and one png file} for you to download or copy and paste into your files.  She will offer another Sentiment next Thursday - so be sure to come look!  
IF you use one on your entry in this challenge - put a GH [for Ginny H] behind your name!  We will Spotlight our favorite on Nov 6 with the start of the new challenge!
 




Thank you Ginny H!  What is cool is that the sentiments are designed to go with one of The Paper Shelter's images that the DT is using below... check it out!

The Paper Shelter


We are most appreciative of 
The Paper Shelter  for providing the DT with two images to showcase for you all.  They are also sponsoring the winner's PRIZE of a $15 gift certificate!
