Last Challenge on the Blog, One for the mums

I'm sorry to announce that this challenge blog is closing down and this is our last challenge :(.

The theme for our challenge is a celebration of  Mother's Day which we celebrate in March in the UK. We want to see your wonderful makes, dedicated to all of the amazing mums out there.

Claire and I and the DT girls would like to thank you all so very much for your support over the last 4 years. We really appreciate it and have loved seeing all of your amazing creative projects.

Before I share a couple of inspirational makes from 2 of our design team, allow me to announce the winner of the last challenge which was all about love.

Confession time I visited every single one of the entries from the challenge but due to a very busy schedule I was only able to comment on about 40%. My daughter picked the winner and that is =>

Congratulations #8 Lin

Please email us at jellyparkteam(at)gmail.com and I'll send you a couple of images as a prize.

First up with a fab card is Tracey

 Tracey has used our lovely flowers in a vase digital stamp, this digi is perfect for any occasion.

What beautiful makes Ruth the ribbons are gorgeous.

Ruth has created with our girl in bath digital stamp, definitely a perfect image for Mother's Day.

So now it's over to you, we can't wait to see what you make for our last ever challenge.

Happy Crafting

Jellypark Friends February Challenge, "Love is in the air".

Good morning and a very happy 1st February. That was the fastest January ever, usually it drags but not this year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm here to tell you all about our new challenge but before I do there is the little matter of who won our "Bling it up" Challenge in January.

I have been very good and left comments on 96% of entries, I couldn't comment on split coast entries and a couple of google + ones so apologies to those people.

I'm delighted to say that the winner of the 3 images

is

#55 Lena

Many congratulations Lena, please get in touch with us at 

jellyparkteam @ gmail.com

 and we will send you your prize :o). Also grab the badge from the side bar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our new challenge for the month of February is "Love" well it had to be really didn't it! We would like to see anything you make with a loved up theme, whether it's Valentine, Wedding or Anniversary as long as love features somewhere then we'll be happy  :o).

Speaking of love Jellypark has a feature in the latest edition of Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine which came out on 29th January.

Myself and Lisa S have cards featured on page 88 and 89 using the Love Bird digi and Sending you my love image.

The inspiration for my magazine card came from an anniversary card  I made for my husband a couple of years ago.

I googled love birds and fell instantly in love with the gorgeous little creatures.

I wanted to go more pink and pretty for the magazine though and I think they work just as well, in fact regardless of how you colour up this image it looks fabulous as it's so versatile. The love birds digi is available as part of a bundle here.

Lisa S

Lisa used our fabulous sending you my love digi which is also available in the bundle here.

Next up is Lisa W

Great job ladies and now it's over to you guys, we can't wait to see what you create :o)

Happy Crafting

We have two Guest Designers joining us for this challenge, first up is Kerys

Hi! My name is Kerys Sharrock, and I'm super excited to be Guest Designer this month! I moved from the UK to the USA 4 years ago - and I absolutely love it! I used to work as a special needs teacher of Autistic children and so I have always been arty/crafty. It was until I moved to the USA and became a stay-at-home-mum, that I discovered scrapbooking and card making. I don't do an awful lot of scrapbooking these days but I do LOVE to make cards. I love coloring in images with my prismacolor pencils and using the countless number of sketches available. I have so many scrapbooking papers and embellishments, I don't think I would ever need to buy any more materials again! I hope I have inspired you to come and join in the fun!

For this gorgeous card Kerys has used our Typewriter image which works great on cards or scrapbook layouts.

Isn't this card adorable, Kerys used teenage girl in bedroom love all of the layering and the pendants.

Our 2nd GDT is Amy, we were lucky enough to have Amy join us last September and we were so happy when she agreed to be a part of our December Challenge too :o).

Love the bunting on this card, Amy has used one of our charity images for her pretty card, Charity Best Friends and every penny from the sale of our CHARITY images goes to Willow Foundation which is our charity of choice for 2014.

Amy has chosen one of our most popular festive images for this beautiful card skating polar bears.

Please note due to the website being temporarily closed at the end of December the prize for this challenge has changed, we will now be offering the winner this super cute bundle of images.

This challenge runs through until 3rd January 2015, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year lol.

I can't wait to see what you create.

Happy December Crafting

Woohoo It's challenge time here at Jellypark Friends

Well hello there, I hope this Sunday morning finds you all well. 

We've had unprecedented warm weather here in the UK for September but I can already feel a slight change over the last day or so. Which leads me on nicely to tell you about our new challenge theme.

It's AUTUMN/FALL yep we want to see those rich colours on your projects or maybe you have some digis/stamps that will work with the theme. We have a few wonderful images in the store that would suit perfectly. 

In fact our Guest Design Team ladies have used some on their projects. 

Before I share their fab makes I have a bit of housekeeping to do from our pets/animal challenge ie to let you know who the winner of the 3 digital images is. 

Without further ado...

# 76 Gail L with her gorgeous card. 

Thank you to everyone for linking up, Gail please email us at admin@jellypark.co.uk with your choice of 3 digital stamps (charity stamps and stamp sets excluded) and we'll get them sent straight to you.

Okay so this months challenge as I mentioned is all about Autumn/Fall and our two Guest Design team ladies have been busy creating with a couple of our images. First up is Lynne with her fab makes.

For this card Lynne used our scarecrow images isn't it super, love the use of dies in this card :o)

Next up Lynne chose to work with girl jumping in leaves you couldn't get a more autumnal image than this one. What a fab way of layering up a card Lynne.

Here we have the lady herself, hi Lynne ~waves~ thank you for joining us.

I am Lynne 62 years young and have been married to my wonderful husband for 39 years. We have a fantastic daughter a good son in law and 2 lovely grandsons Michael 8 and Jacob 5 who has mischief written all over him. I have been crafting for many years but making cards for about 12 years. I really enjoy crafting of any kind and have in the past made a tea shop and some other shops.

*****************************~~~~~~****************************

Our second Guest Design Team member is Amy

Isn't this just beautiful, fab colouring of our girl jumping in leaves image.

Aww this little squirrel is one of my favourite images in the store. Love all the funky acorns at the top.

Welcome Amy and thank you for joining us here at jellypark friends.

I am a crafter from Beautiful Victoria, B.C. Canada. I have been crafting for several years, but it wasn’t until May 2013 that I discovered the wonderful world of craft challenges and blogging- and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love all things crafty: Stamping, Paper crafts, Die cuts, embellishments...the list goes on and on. There are so many wonderful techniques out there and am always excited to try something new. I hope I've inspired you to come join in the fun!

Hellooo, we're back and all refreshed with a new challenge

Hello there!

The summer holidays are almost over and the kiddies will  be back at school soon yeah.

***************~~~~~***************

Quite a few changes have been implemented here at the Jellypark Friends Challenge Blog. We are now posting on Sundays and our Challenges will run for a month. There will be one winner who will receive 3 images as a prize.
We no longer have a Design Team instead we will be looking for Guest Designers. Our previous Design Team girls will be making plenty of appearances though so no worries there.  

If you would like to be a GDT, you have an *account over at the Jellypark Store  and you are available for one of our challenges between Oct-Dec please just email me at our usual address.

*You need an account at the store so that if I contact you to be a GDT then I am able to credit your account for the 2 images you choose to create with.

Unfortunately as we no longer have a dedicated design team I am unable to guarantee comments on your entries. I am really sorry about that, please know that I really appreciate each and every one of you who link up and that I will visit your blog even if I don't leave comments. I will try to keep up with commenting, I promise ;o) but hope you don't mind if I miss some.

***************~~~~***************

On to our new challenge :)

It's all about pets/animals.

In honour of us finally giving in to my daughters pleas for a pet, we dedicate this challenge theme to Chestnut the hamster. She was originally called Nutjob and oh boy was that name accurate. She's 11 weeks old but acts more like a teenager. You should see her cage in the mornings it looks like she's been partying hard all night ha ha.

We have a wonderful new bundle of images over in the Store that work perfectly with this theme. I used some of them to make this card.

This challenge will run through to the end of September. I can't wait to see yout pet/animal inspired makes.

Happy Crafting

Mel :o)
