Fa La La Felt Challenge

Lots to get to today and I am running late, so grab your to-go cuppa and let's get started!

First thank you to every one who played in our last challenge! doesn't it do the heart good to create a project to express your gratitude? we need to be sure to do that on a regular basis! :) Every project was wonderful and so inspiring! Wouldn't it be fantastic to be able to award a prize to everyone?! maybe one day, but until then, we have to make do with our Top 3. grins!

1. Arielle H. Gordon
2. Heide D.
3. Edwina Brown

Congrats to each of you! Please be sure to grab the badge for your blog from the sidebar on the right. Arielle, please email Claire at jellypark at live.co.uk with your choice of a digital image from the Jellypark store!

Also a quick reminder that Mel will be starting up our new challenge blog for children 12 and under at the start of the new year, Jellypark Juniors. be sure to stop over and become a follower so you don't miss anything! We had 2 precious entries in our last challenge that brought HUGE smiles to the faces of every member of the DT from children! what a treat! :)

We sure hated to say goodbye to our past Guest Designer, Linda McClain, so we didn't! grins! she is going to pop in every once in a while as she has time for us. she is one busy busy lady, but oh so very talented! :) we sure do appreciate everything Linda did for us in her time here at Jellypark!

We do have a DT and Guest DT call out going on through Dec. 11. More information can be found for now over at our groups on Paper Craft Planet and The Crafters Cafe. While you are there, be sure to join the groups for fun chats and free images!

Now it's time to get to our next challenge. As the holiday season rings in, we are going to be getting cheesy with the challenge titles, so bear with us (me!!!). Our new challenge is called "Fa La La Felt". use felt in any form or fashion on your papercraft projects. it doesn't have to be a holiday card, but it you are feeling pressed to get those Christmas cards done in time, why not? you are free to use any image you would like as long as it's family friendly please. ;) Jellypark images do get you an additional entry into the contest for the Top 3 and a chance for a free digi from the store. Just remember that you may enter the challenge twice please to keep it fair to everyone.

A New Guest Designer, new winners, and a new Challenge!

We are all about 'new' in this post! We have a new Guest Designer to introduce to everyone, new challenge winners to announce, and a new challenge to tell you about..... so let's get right to it!

Our Top 3 winners for the non-traditional Christmas colors challenge are:

1. Debbie Johns
2. Luanne
3. Deidre

Please grab the winner's badge over on the right hand sidebar for your blog. Debbie, please email Claire at jellypark @live.co.uk with your choice of a digital image from the Jellypark store. Congratulations to each of you! and thank you to everyone who entered our challenge! We so appreciate you playing along with us! :)

We have also started a new group over at The Latte Lounge. we would love to have you join us there for chats, freebies, challenges, and just all around good times! Right now there is a wonderful free image for having reached a group member milestone. As soon as we hit 100 members, Claire has promised to offer another freebie! We're sponsoring the Latte Lounge Holiday Open House in December, too, so you don't want to miss that.

Next, I would like to introduce you to our newest Guest Designer, Jenn Zeeb! She will be with us from now through the end of December. I do hope you will stop by her blog, Stamplified, and say hello.


My name is Jenn Zeeb, I recently celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary May 25 with 4 kids from 7 (first grade) to 19 (just finished her 1st year in college). I am the PTA president at my youngest son's school and was just laid off from my job at a coffee shop (boy do I miss my FREE coffees).

I have been playing with paper for as long as I can remember. I started selling for Stampin Up, but stopped because I found out I liked buying and playing a lot more than selling. Then I started scrapbooking and found out I have a paper hording problem. My husband calls it "kindling" and think I might have to get help one day. I have met great people both scrapbooking and card making, so I wouldn't have it any other way.

Lastly, our new challenge is one that celebrates all things for which we 'Give Thanks.' You can make a Thanksgiving project, a thank you card, or any papercrafting project that recognizes something for which you are thankful. Please remember the few rules we have. there aren't many, but we do ask you to abide by them. You may use any images of your choice, but a Jellypark image gets you an extra entry into the contest for a free digital image from the store! Please limit your entries to 2 per challenge period just to make it fair to everyone. and remember that we are a family friendly challenge blog. :)

Here are some fabby projects from our Design Team and Guests!

A Special Guest Designer..... Linda McClain!

I'm going to jump right into this, because I don't want you to have to wait even one second longer than you have to in order to see this beauty created by our newest Guest Designer here at Jellypark Friends, Linda McClain. You can see more of her amazing papercraft projects on her blog, Catered Crop. Be sure to stop by and give her a big Jellypark welcome! :)



The movie producer Cecil B. DeMille once said "Creativity is a drug I cannot live without." Being a nurse who stamps, wouldn't you know I'd love a quote about both drugs and creativity? Yep, you guessed it . . . paper crafting is my Prozac. It keeps me sane and happy. So it's an extra bonus when people actually like what I make and spend their precious time hanging out with me at Catered Crop.

The details of me and my gang are blissfully boring. Mr. Catered Crop and I grew up in Indiana and have lived in Texas now for over 25 years with our two adult children and our dogs, Mailey Dog and Pillow Pup. My day job as a nursing home investigator keeps me away from my crafting more than I'd like, but it also gives me the opportunity to meet and help amazing people across Central Texas.

I'm crazy excited to be a guest at the new Jellypark Challenge blog. I've been a huge fan of Claire Keay since I first found her stamps at My Favorite Things. And, now! Oh my! We get to buy her images on-line, have them in our laptops in minutes, and get great ideas from her fabulous design team. Oh, dear, my head is spinning. I hope you're as excited as I am and I'm looking forward to playing with you all again soon.
