LEXI'S CREATIONS FIRST CHALLENGE OF THE NEW YEAR!!!

This is my first DT Challenge with Lexi's Creation.  I am very excited about this.  Working with Susan, who runs Lexi's has been a fantastic experience thus far.  I can only imagine it getting better and better.  Not only has she pulled together a fantastic forum for the DT to linger and meet, but she has pulled together a wonderful new Design Team (ahem - personally speaking, since I'm on it too!)  You must pop over to Lexi's Creations FIRST CHALLENGE OF THE NEW YEAR to meet the DT's and see their incredible artistry.  You will be in awe!



Now onto the first challenge .  Susan has decided to start with something really easy to give you all a chance to get back from a well deserved holiday season.  Thus, the theme is one we all LOVE...'ANYTHING GOES'


As the title says, you can produce anything you want, cards, 3D items, bookmarks, tags etc. and use any paper, images, embellies and accents.  It is always exciting to get free range to create as we all do it differently and we all have our OWN style!

Our sponsor this week is Fairy Dust Crafts....

If you are familiar with their designs - you will NOT be disappointed, but rather be VERY excited to enter our challenge! Lexi's Creations is:

giving away 5 lovely images to the uber winner of the Anything Goes Challenge!  

How generous is that!!

We are looking forward to all your wonderful creations for this challenge, but in the meantime our Design Team have created some fabulous inspiration for you all. Take a look at their individual blogs by clicking on the links above their creations to find out how they were made and to give them each some of your artistic lovin';  we can all use some of that!



Below is MY first composition of Lexi's Creation First Challenge of the New Year.  I hope you like JT.  He was really Fun to create.  While JT is an image from Lexi's Creations, the rest of my creation uses Close to My Heart, a Stampin' Up! Basket Ball Stamp and my beloved Copics to Color JT.  Gotta say, I loved coloring his muscles! It was a HUGE challenge; but don't they look yummalicious! lol  Pretty simple to name the product here rather than writing my usual "lovingly made with" under the photos.  That area is saved for the bazillion challenges I enter.


By the way, if you want a dandy list of CHALLENGES TO ENTER, just copy my list (click and copy) and you will get all the URL's with it.  I'd be MORE than happy to share it with you!  It is so fun to meet and make great friends this way, as I have.  Besides, you've worked really, really hard on your cards...share them with others - they'd love to see what you are doing...I promise you that!

You can't really see this, but the front of the card is round with the tags attached.  The back of the card is black and square with rounded edges.  It was all in the photography that this distinction does not show up - sorry about that!  I wanted the black to match JT's hat but the round to match the ball!

REMINDER

If you want to double click and copy my challenge list and use any part or all - please do.

For me, yes - it has been WONDERFUL to win challenges, however more important -

it is the connection to new and loving friends, when in return to a comment, I visit their blog and genuinely study THEIR artisty, appreciating THEIR hard work and THEIR particular styles, and leave them comments, friendships begin,  just as they have with me.

Being a DT on several Teams, I am in appreciation of this.

I would love to share my list with you.

It has been my key to blogging love.

Truly.
