<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hiya guys, thanks for visiting :-D
Hope you’ve all had a lovely month xx <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br />
I have some sad news to share I'm afraid, which is that this will be our last
challenge. It’s with a heavy heart that I’m saying goodbye but there just
aren't enough hours in the day for me at the moment – work and life are becoming
increasingly busy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br />
I will miss working with our lovely design team, seeing your beautiful cards,
and chatting to you online. I've met some really amazing people over the last
couple of years and I am sad to be leaving it all behind. The digi's will stay
online on my Etsy store, so our little Flat Friends aren't disappearing
completely, and I will continue to sponsor various other challenge sites in the
future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I want to give a shout out to the
lovely ladies on our DT – past and present – without their amazing support and
beautiful work this challenge site simply wouldn’t have been possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I also want to say a massive
thank you to all of our gorgeous followers and everyone who has joined us for
the challenges over the past couple of years – it’s been an absolute pleasure
seeing all of your work xx</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 21pt;">Hiya guys, Em here :-) I was really excited about this challenge theme. You've probably noticed over the past couple of years that I love CAS designs and kraft card so I thought I would combine two of my favourite things for this last challenge entry. So here we have it - a very simple, plain, kraft card :-D</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 21pt;"> I decided to use the '<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/187291049/digi-stamp-instant-download-star-catcher">Star Catcher</a>' digi stamp as I thought it would work nicely with the cute moon and stars quote I saw the other day by Les Brown :-) </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #6fa8dc; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">For this challenge the theme is cards with quotes - it doesn't have to be a long quote - can be a 1 liner if you like. I thought this would be a cute one to do as I love seeing the wording on cards - there are so many lovely sentiments out there :-) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 28px; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Em - I searched a while for quotes and kept coming back to A.A. Milne - Winne the Pooh! There are just so many cute ones - I seriously need to give Winnie another read with older eyes :-D I finally settled on a quote and thought it would go nicely with the new 'Put a Ring on It' stamp. I wanted to keep the main focus on the text so left the card very plain and just added touches of pink to the flower, ring, and nails on the digi to match the writing. For the fonts I chose 'Candy Round BTN' for the quote text and 'Bebas' for the pink Winnie the Pooh bit :-)</span></span><br />

visiting :-D Hope you’ve all had a fab month xx It’s been great this end –
lots of fun weekends including the weekend before last where we saw Dolly Parton on Friday night
and Eric Clapton on the Sunday! Eric was really good and Dolly, bless her, was
absolutely amazing – she knows how to put on a show that one!! I was singing
and dancing about for days :-D Hopefully you got to see her on TV doing Glastonbury - she was amazing there also xx</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 28px;">Hello, Angela here! What a fun challenge this was...as I was making my card, I toyed with the idea of adding some gems, but decided to leave it just as is. It was fun to keep it simple and just enjoy the process of coloring.... I chose "Cupcake Girl" because: 1. I love cupcakes, and 2. I knew she would look darling perched in the corner of the card! I can't wait to see what </span><b style="line-height: 28px;">you</b><span style="line-height: 28px;"> create for this challenge!</span></span><br />

I have to admit that a single layer card is way out of my normal, but I actually am pretty happy with the way it turned out. And it will be easy to mail, too. My digi image is called </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/176589106/digi-stamp-instant-download-all-my-love?ref=shop_home_active_13" style="color: #949494; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">All My Love</a><span style="text-align: justify;">. He's so cute, I've used him for a thank you, but he could be used for so many occasions. Hope you will join the fun this month and craft up a one layer card!</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 28px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hi everyone, Laura here. Single layer cards are way out of my comfort zone and I had a few "oops" moments (Im so used to using design paper!), but I really like the simple look of the card. Plus, it's for my 18 year old niece who just graduated from High School and is heading off to college and I colored the adorable digi to look like her. Can't wait to see what you gals have up your sleeve this month!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 28px;">Hi guys, Em here xx I really enjoyed making this card - it forced me to focus on my colouring a bit more which is good because I'm keen to practice with my Copics :-) I decided to go for the 'Prince Peck' digi as I wanted to make a Birthday Princess card for one of my friends. I was keen to add a bit of sparkle to the crowns so purchased some 'Ice Stickles Glitter Glue' which I've fallen in love with - tempted to go round the house blinging things up lol :-D Hope you'll join us for this challenge - really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. Lots of love, Em xx</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hiya, hope you're all having a lovely week :-D I've had a few </span>enquiries<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">to see if I would be able to do some World Cup digi's in this month's batch - I had hoped to launch these last week but I'm afraid that the flags took longer to draw than anticipated :-) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">The stamps are available now - there is a girl and a boy option and all of the 32 flags have been drawn so you can add your chosen flag to your digi before you print it out to colour or just print out and attach the flag by hand if you prefer :-) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I have broken the digi's down into the 8 World Cup groups on Etsy so each stamp has 4 flags included (as I didn't want to downsize all of the flags onto 1 PNG page and loose the image quality). If you do get a digi and would like to have all of the 32 flags - rather than just the 4 flags in your group - just let me know and I can get them emailed over to you) My email address for contact is flatfriendsboutique@gmail.com </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hope you enjoy the rest of the month - see you on the 1st for the next challenge, love, Em xx</span></div>

I decided that since June is popular for weddings, that I would decorate the cover of a photo album to make a little keepsake for the bride. I hope you will play along this month...can't wait to see what you come up with!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 28px;">Hey everyone, Kathy here! Happy June! I love making 3-D items and don't do enough of it. I found a cute little cupcake box file in the silhouette store and thought it would be great with Cupcake Cutie (the coolest thing is that this digi is currently a <a href="http://flatfriendschallenge.blogspot.com/p/freebies-x.html" style="color: #949494; text-decoration: none;">freebie</a>)! It's large enough to hold a gift card or some small items. Can't wait for one of my boys to get invited to a classmate's party, so I can give this one away! Hope you will have the chance to play along with us this month!</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hiya, Em here xx I decided to go for a bookmark for my creation - not very adventurous I know, lol, but it is something I will get some use out of so I thought it would be a good thing to have a go at. I tend to read in bed before I go to sleep so thought the Snuggles digi would work nicely for this. I coloured the image with my copics and decorated the back of the bookmark with a cute digital word clip art design I found by 'liveURpassion' on Etsy. Hope you'll join us this month - can't wait to see what everyone comes up with xx </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I just finished up on this month's batch of digi's - when I started them it felt like summer was on it's way here but I think I may have been slightly optimistic going with a sunny theme as it's been pretty grim the last few days. Crossing fingers that the sun will start shining again soon :-D </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you on Sunday when we will announce this month's challenge winners and set a new theme, lots of love, Em xx</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 28px;">Hello, Angela here! Dies and Punches...great challenge...I used them all the time! I loved this new "Love Heart" image of Em's and thought it would go perfectly with this heart border die in my stash. I colored the image with pencils, cut it out, and popped it up. Why do I always think fussy cutting is a great idea until I'm in the middle of doing it? LOL I embellished simply with red gems. I hope you will put your dies and punches to work and play along!</span><br />

I never make a card with out using one or the other, often both. Here I used some round, rectangle and word window type nestabilities and a SU border punch. Hope you will take some time this month and play along with us!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hello, its Sally here. <span style="line-height: 21pt;">Today, for our challenge we are using Dies and Punches! My favourite tools! So I chose one of Emma's new images, Little Princess kissing a frog. I coloured here with my Graph'it markers, used Pan Pastels around the edges and then cut a frame die. Found some lovely stripey paper in my crafty stash and matted the image onto it. I then stamped and punched some butterflies and I had the perfect sentiment "Make a Wish". I hope you like it x</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hi guys, Em here :-) For my card I went with the new 'Love Heart' digi, coloured him with my copics, and mounted the image with foam pads. I punched the love hearts in using my Heart Tonic Studios Paper Punch. The papers behind the hearts are both from the 'Love Me' paper pad by My Minds Eye - lots of love on this card :-D Hope you'll all play along - can't wait to see what ya'll come up with this month xxx</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hello, Angela here! Hmmm, sentiments.... I rarely use one, so this was fun! I loved Em's new images for April; do you notice anything different about this cutie? She has a nose and a mouth! How fun is that?! This image made me think of this fun paper that I had in my stash; I used a bunch of the different patterns and went with a collage type card. The sentiment "Snap Me" refers to the Snapchats that my 15 year-old daughter and her friends love to send each other. I hope you will break out the sentiments and play along!</span></span><br />

I went simple with my sentiment today, because I'm always in need of birthday cards. The latest craze around here is video game truck parties, they bring a truck filled with popular video games to your chosen destination and the kids have a blast. How perfect is the "</span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/180405977/digi-stamp-instant-download-gamer?ref=shop_home_active_8" style="color: #949494; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;">Gamer</a><span style="line-height: 28px;">" image?

I hope you enjoy them and can't wait to see your entries this month. </span></span><br />

A very quick and easy card today using one of Emma's lovely images. I printed him out and coloured him in using my Graph'it markers. I made an easel card using kraft cardstock and matted a dotty backing paper onto it. I then added a couple of ticket sentiments from Dollie Daydream CD Rom.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">Hi guys, hope you’re
all keeping well and happy x It’s been another quick one this month and I’ve
been wishing the days away as we’re off on holiday on Tuesday :-D It must seem
like I go away all the time as on my challenge last post we were heading out
the door to Ireland for a long weekend but we’re just taking our holiday’s a
bit earlier than normal (I’ll be feeling sorry for myself in the 2</span><sup style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">nd</sup><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 115%;">I’ve got a lovely
friend who lives in Lyon and we’ve been meaning to go out and visit her, and
her partner, for a while now. We were just going to visit for a long weekend originally
but decided that as we were headed over to France it might make sense to
squeeze Paris and Disneyland in and extend the holiday to a week. I’m super
excited! Mr C was not as giddy about Disneyland as myself but has come around
to the idea after seeing a number of attractions he is interested in at the
Disney Studio’s park. I just know that once he’s there he’ll be skipping about
like a happy man child :-D I’ll pop some pics on my personal blog when I get
back x</span></div>

We had another amazing challenge last month – so many beautiful creations. I
was really inspired – being relatively new to the card making world myself I hadn’t
realised how many gorgeous designs could be made from adding a few extra
folds!! My card to do list is getting quite big now!! Thank you to everyone who
joined us – we’re so grateful for your entries x</span></span></div>

I have used "Gamer" for today's card. I love this image because this is exactly what my 11 year old son looks like when he is playing on his gaming system. I colored this great image with Copics and Atyou Spicas and cut with dies from Frantic Stamper. Corners also done with a die from my stash and sentiment is from a clear stamp and cut with Nestie. Sure hope you like it and will come play in our challenge!!</span></span><br />

I had fun making this Guy Card and used the new Gamer Digi as well. I kept the paper simple by Bo Bunny and the sentiment "BRING ON YOUR BEST GAME AND YOU WILL ALWAYS SUCCEED" is from Papertrey Ink and I thought I perfect match.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hi there, Sally here. I love these new images from Emma Canning. Great for young men and boys. This card I have made for the challenge but also my friend's son whose birthday is coming up soon. I found some striped cardstock I had in my crafty stash and roughed it up around the edges and adhered it to the card blank. I coloured the image with Graph'it markers using they greys, except for the hair and skin of course. Cut a ribbon strip and added a sentiment. There it is. I hope he likes it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hi guys, Em here x I’ve never done a boy card challenge before so I was excited about this one. My card it pretty simple (as usual) – I decided to go with the ‘Music Time’ digi, coloured it with copics, and added a couple of boy-friendly papers to the inside of the card. The striped paper is from the Lost and Found ‘Blush’ paper pad, and the grey plain paper is from the Indie Chic ‘Saffron’ paper pad (both My Mind’s Eye). I hope you’ll join us for this challenge – I’m really looking forward to seeing more boy cards xx</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hiya :-) Thanks for popping by xx I can't believe it's been a month since our last challenge - last time I was writing one it was the early hours of New Year's Day and I was getting ready to crawl back under the duvet :-D Today I'm in a much more excitable mood as the hubster and I are off to Ireland in a couple of hours for a long weekend with a couple of our </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">best friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My Grandma, who I was very close to, was born in Ireland and I've always wanted to visit so we jumped at the opportunity when we were offered somewhere to stay. Unfortunately we're not there long enough to travel to visit my Irish relatives as they are quite a distance from where we're staying but I'm sure once we've been we'll be keen to go back :-D I'll try to remember to take some pictures in between the drinking and eating so I can put them on my personal blog when I get back xx</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Anywho, the reason I'm telling you all of this is that I'm having to write my challenge post a bit earlier than I would normally as we haven't got Wi-Fi in the house we're staying at in Ireland. The challenge linky widget has just expired so I thought I had better get this post typed up now and schedule it to go live tomorrow morning. I'll add any more DT cards on when we return on Tuesday xx</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As always, it was an absolute delight to see all of the gorgeous entries - a massive thank you to everyone who entered xx We had so many entries again that I've decided to tier the number of winners we have moving forward as 1 winner doesn't seem enough when the entry numbers are high. Moving forward if we have 1-10 entries there will be 1 winner, 11-20 entries 2 winners, 21-30 entries 3 winners, and so on. Hope that makes sense :-) xx </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So, I've run the numbers through the random number generator and the winners for the January challenge are:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sorry guys, I know I've talked a lot today but I did want to say one last thing before I head off on my hols :-) Unfortunately for us our lovely Sarah has had to step down from the design team. I just wanted to say how much we'll all miss her - she's been an absolute pleasure to work with over the last year or so and such a great help to me in the background as I fumbled around not having a clue what I was doing :-D You can still follow her gorgeous work on her blog at http://createdbysarah.blogspot.co.uk/ - if you're not already familiar with her site you should pop on over there when you have a mo. Right that's enough from me - off to finish packing. See you next month - have a lovely Valentine's day whatever you're up to, Em xx</span><br />

The biggest challenge for me was deciding what to make after I started researching all the "fun folds" out there! I decided that candy was perfect for February and went with a "Treat Box Card"; it really was quite simple to do. I hope you will play along with us...I can't wait to see your "fun fold"!</span></span><br />

This is my favorite "go to" card for a fancy fold type challenge. This one will be my husband's Valentine. I used the new Be Mine? image that Em just released, isn't she cute! There are lots of tutorials on the internet for different sorts of folds, hope you will join the challenge and play along with us.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 30.799999237060547px; text-align: left;">Sally - Hi there. This month's challenge is "More than one fold" card. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 30.799999237060547px; text-align: left;">I made a gatefold card and covered the front with matching paper. Made a banner and adhered it to the right of the card. Printed out this little guy holding a heart cushion and coloured him in using Graph it markers. For the inside I wanted to have a focal point. I used some embossed cardstock, then cut a die cut heart, two little hearts and a key. To finish off, I printed out a sentiment saying "You hold the key to my heart".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 33.599998474121094px;">Hiya guys, Em here x I really loved making my card for this challenge as it pushed me to do a more complex design than I’m used to :-) I thought a box design might be a cute idea for a valentines card as you can put a love voucher in or something :-D I coloured my digi with copics and glued her onto the inside of the box (leaving the </span><span style="line-height: 33.599998474121094px;">balloon</span><span style="line-height: 33.599998474121094px;"> string unstuck to give a little bit of a 3 effect inside). On the outside of the box I used a couple of My Mind’s Eye papers and made a little slip to hold the box closed. I've put links for the products and box card tutorial I used on my blog xx</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hiya lovelies, sorry I'm late today - we stayed over at a friends house last night and I couldn't get on their internet. I hope you've all had an amazing Christmas break and lots of fun last night to see in the New Year :-D We had the most wonderful time down south with our friends and family - couldn't have wished for a better stay :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I won't natter on for too long as I'm desperate to go and veg out on the sofa for the day now we're home :-) I want to say a massive thanks to everyone who entered our challenge last month - the cards were absolutely gorgeous and it was lovely to see all of the different colour combo designs xx I've run the numbers through the random number generator and the winner for the December challenge is:</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 30px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Sally - Happy New Year Everyone. Let's hope its a good one! Here is my first card of the year for Flatfriends DT Challenge. Guess what I had for Christmas? Yes, new Graph'it markers (Greys) and Metallic Pan Pastels! So I put them to the test today with my lovely image! I coloured her hair, dress, boots and balloons in the warm greys. Used the metallic copper colour to highlight the dress, hair and balloons and then the background! Oooo.... I do love these! I then printed a sentiment and cut it out using a balloon punch. Matted her onto a Spellbinder die and then onto a Kraft cardstock card. Voila!</span></span></div>

We've got very similar tastes and she loves simple cards so I've gone for a CAS design. I used my 'Birthday Wishes' digi, coloured her with Copics, and mounted the image with foam pads. To finish off the design I punched along the side of the card with my Martha Stewart 'Daisy' edge punch to add a bit of decoration. That's about it - nice and simple :-) I hope you'll play along with us this month - really looking forward to seeing all of the different designs on this anything goes challenge :-D xxx</span></span></span></span></span><br />

Hope you enjoy them and I'll catch you in the New Year when we launch our next challenge on the 1st. Lots of love, Em xx</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hey guys, Happy December!! </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I hope all of our friends in America had an amazing thanksgiving this week xx I'm very excited to officially be in December now - </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Christmas is by far my favourite time of year so I'll be skipping about with a big grin on my face until the new year :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I can't believe how busy it got here last month - it was such a treat to see so many beautiful Christmas cards!! I know I had said that there would be one winner for the challenge but I would feel like a bah humbug scrooge if I only did one after we received so many gorgeous entries - I genuinely hadn't expected to see so many (I guess Christmas cards is the most popular challenge as so many people celebrate it) :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I decided to run the numbers through the random number generator 3 times this month and the winners for the Christmas Card challenge are:</span><br />

I chose the adorable image "Christmas Dinner," which I have colored with my Copics and cut out with Lifestyle Crafts dies.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 30px; text-align: left;">Hi everyone, Kathy here. Such a pretty color combo Em has selected for us to use. I've decided to do a holiday card, since they are quickly approaching now. My image is called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/167401199/digi-stamp-instant-download-baublegown?ref=shop_home_active" style="color: #949494; text-decoration: none;">Baublegown</a>.

I got lucky and found some </span><span style="line-height: 30px; text-align: left;">patterned</span><span style="line-height: 30px; text-align: left;"> paper that fit the color palette well. Hope you will take some time and play along with our challenge this month!</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 44px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Sally - Hi there, it's Flatfriends Challenge time! This month it is using the above colour combination. At first I wasn't too sure, but I went through my crafty stash of cardstock and papers and found some that look quite good together. The image I chose is one of Emma's first digi images and it is the first time I have used it. I coloured here with my Graph'it marker pens and cut her out. I then made a Union Jack background out of my bits and bobs scraps. I added a sentiment and here she is. Cute eh?</span></span><br />

Make a non-Christmas card!! Though I suppose it could be used as a winter birthday card, if you fancy. I used a lovely digi called, </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/166744161/digi-stamp-instant-download-christmas?ref=shop_home_active" style="color: #949494; line-height: 30px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Christmas Shopping</a><span style="line-height: 30px; text-align: left;"> coloured her in with my ProMarkers, die-cut it out and chalked the background. I then added some extremely old papers that I adore (and have almost run out of!) in the gorgeous colour combo that Emma picked! Added some die-cuts, a sentiment and hey-presto one finished card.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hi guys, Em here xx I've been crazy nervous about this card - it was my birthday this month so I decided to ask for money to finally start my colouring pen collection. I've been having a lot of fun over the last week starting to learn the skills of colouring by hand and, needless to say, I am addicted already!! I'm in love with my Copics and can imagine all my spare time will be spent colouring from now on :-D I decided to just focus on the colouring of my digi this time so the card layout is about as simple as you can get (sorry) xx</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hey,
thanks for popping in :-) I’ve got loads of news for you this month but before
that I would like to say thank you to everyone who entered our challenge last
month. I think that was one of my all time favourites and loved seeing what
people got from the inspirational pic. - such pretty and clever designs :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Before
I get to the winner I’ve got some bits and bobs to tell you. The 1<sup>st</sup>
is that we’re very lucky to have another talented lady joining our DT – her
name is Laura and you can see more of her beautiful work <a href="http://craftylawyercreates.blogspot.co.uk/">HERE</a> She’s come up with some really gorgeous designs
and I’m over the moon to have her on the team.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">On
other DT news I was excited to see that 2 of our lovely ladies had applied, and
been successful, for the new challenge that our dear friends over at
Polkadoodles are running. It’s called Digi Choosday and can be found <a href="http://polkadoodle.blogspot.co.uk/">HERE</a><span style="color: red;"> </span>– if you haven’t seen it already it’s seriously
worth visiting as the DT are doing amazing work. I'm lucky enough to have my range of digi's at the Polkadoodles store but they've got sooo many other gorgeous designs and often have wonderful promotions so if you're a digi lover like us it's definitely worth joining :-) xx<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I’ve
got quite a bit of inspiration from the Digi Choosday site and I think the way
they’re running things is really nice so I’ve had a chat with our DT here and
decided to make a couple of changes that will hopefully make it easier for you
guys to join in on our challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am super excited to be posting my first card as a member of the Flat Friends Design Team. I am a huge fan of Emma's images and can't wait to work with them.

Christmas is all about loving and giving and Hope. So I chose this lovely image and coloured her in contemporary colours added a little angel dust and picked some lovely lilac backing papers which I die cut and placed the image on to it. I gave her a dotty background using my Promarkers. I then added a sentiment.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22.5pt;">I was going to run the numbers through the Random Generator as normal when I realised that it's been a year since we started our challenges - our first one was posted on the 1st of October 2012! It's been an amazing year and I've so enjoyed seeing the digi's come to life on everyone's cards (and having a go at card making myself). We've got some very lovely and talented followers and we always look forward to seeing your creations x</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 22.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22.5pt;">So, I thought to celebrate passing the 1 year mark everyone could be a winner this time round so if the ladies who entered last month want to email me at flatfriendsboutique@gmail.com with their choice of 4 digi's I'll get them emailed ASAP. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22.5pt;">I'd like to take this </span></span><span style="line-height: 30px;">opportunity</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22.5pt;"> to thank our gorgeous DT gals also - I'm sure you'll agree how wonderful they are and they've been a huge support to me over the last year. I literally had no idea what I was doing when I started out and they've made it a truly enjoyable experience x </span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22.5pt;">I've also got some exciting news as we welcome a lovely new lady into our little group this month - her name is Angela and you can check out her gorgeous blog </span><a href="http://angela-justmonkeyingaround.blogspot.co.uk/" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-large; line-height: 22.5pt;">HERE</a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22.5pt;"> - I'm very excited to have her on the team and I know you're going to love her cards too as they're gorgeous :-) x x</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 28px;"><span style="line-height: normal;">What a great inspiration photo...her style is so chic! As I was deciding which image to use, I couldn't resist this cute little guy peering over his cup of tea. </span></span>The image is colored with pencils and the cup is paper pieced; his head and part of the tea bag are popped up. The layout is pretty simple...clean lines, some banners and a handmade felt rose and stick pins for embellishing. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hey everyone, Kathy here. I just love the inspiration photo Em picked. Black, white and red are such a classic color combination. I picked Puppy Love to use today for my card. Figured it would make a good any occasion card for all my dog loving friends. She is colored with copics and has some stickles on her hem of her dress for a bit of sparkle. I've paired her with a kind of mod type stripe paper from MME. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 28px;">Sally - Hi there folks. For this month's challenge it is a photo's inspiration for colour and patterns. I love black and white and when red is added it pops! So I coloured one of Emma's images in with Promarkers and Graph'its. To add a little something to her outfit, I put some flock on the white trim. I matted and layered the black stripe card on black cardstock and a red scalloped trim at the top, put a piece of ribbon around it then added a ribbon detail, bow and sentiment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Sarah - Hello again! Well I've been absent for a long time haven't I and bearing that in mind I thought this image of Emma's would be very appropriate! I'm sorry for being absent! So apologies over, onto work.<br /><br />Loved, loved, loved the photo inspiration this month, what a fab picture to inspire. I coloured in my image with Promarkers and chalked the background a bit. Did some paper piercing around the image and popped it onto a black mat. Added die cut hearts, sticky back pearls, paper and ribbon and hey presto the card you see here. Oh and a little bit of glitter as well!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: x-large; line-height: normal;">Em – Hiya, I really enjoyed this theme – my card has a very basic design (as mine so often do) but I am happy with it and it’s a super cheap one to make :-D</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> I simply printed the digi onto white card, folded is using my scoring board, and cut the front back on the right hand side to highlight Paige's pom pom and give a peek at the stripes below. The striped paper is from the gorgeous ‘Blush’ paper pad by My Mind’s Eye and the digi is ‘Cheerleader’ (obviously wasn’t having a very imaginative day when I named that one lol) x x </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Hey everyone, Kathy here. I love sketch challenges, they making laying out a card a breeze. I almost always use one. This sketch from Em is great, it's simple and leaves plenty of room to add embellishments. I've used the sweet Three Scoops image for my card today. A triple scoop of ice cream is perfect for an end of summer treat! Hope you will take some time and play along with our challenge this month. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28px;">Sally - Hi there everyone, another Flatfriends challenge. This time I have picked this cute image from Emma Canning's digi images which are available at </span><a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 28px;">www.polkadoodles.co.uk</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28px;">. I thought I would make this one from my Step Granddaughter who is going to College this September. I coloured her with my Graph'it markers and adhered her to some dotty paper and then onto a kraft coloured card. Added some paper flowers and a sentiment. It was such a quick and easy card to make. Just follow the sketch, it makes things so much easier.</span></span><br />

For my card I used the Paige ‘I Love You’ digi, and the papers are both from My Mind’s Eye collections (the top ‘love’ paper from the ‘Love Me’ 6x6 paper pad and the bottom pink paper from the ‘Dwell’ 6x6 paper pad). I cut the heart using my Tonic Studio’s heart punch and mounted the digi and love paper with foam pads to give a bit of a 3D effect. That’s about it – lots of love & nice and easy :-D x</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></div>

This month's challenge is Colour Combinations - Pink Grey and Black. What a lovely combo. I printed out one of Emma's Summer Digis and coloured her with my Graph'it markers in grey and pink. I then die cut the image with a scallop oval and used my pan pastels to soften the edges, matted her on grey and then black. Added a bow and paper flowers and pearls. Very sophisticated I think.</span></span></span></span></div>

I cut the 'congrats' (which was supposed to be congratulations but I ran out of space lol) with the Tim Holtz Decorative Strip Alphabet die and finished the card off by mounting the digi using some foam pads to give it a bit of a 3D feel. The papers I used were the fushia & black colour base pastel cards from Hobbycraft and a grey sheet from the 'Darling Dear' My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad. <br />

I love the theme of buttons, I have a huge jar filled with buttons and love to work them into some projects. I'm getting ready for a beach vacation, so I picked <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=5667" style="color: #949494; text-decoration: none;">Beach Day</a> to use this month. I hope you will dig out some buttons and play along with us. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Sally - Hi there ladies & gentlemen, here is my July challenge "Button" design team entry. I used one of Emma Canning's Summer digi images, I coloured her with my Graph it markers in ice cream colours, used three little buttons for the ice cream cone. I then cut her out adhered her to some stripey paper and birthday wishes paper and finally on the lovely button paper from the new Bon Belle CD Rom from Polkadoodles - Marshmallow collection. Printed off some of the buttons and added a sentiment. x</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 21pt;">Hiya guys, Em here – I didn’t mean for my card to be quite so simple this month it just sort of happened lol – it’s definitely a good design if you’re on a budget and I do like clean and simple cards so thought I’d stick with it once it was done :-D I thought I’d have a go with the ‘Millie Bedtime’ digi for this challenge as I’ve had a week of struggling to peel myself out of bed after my hols and it seemed fitting </span><span style="line-height: 21pt;">:-)</span><span style="line-height: 21pt;"> I cut a tag shape in the white card I’d printed my digi on and stuck it on top of the blue paper which is from the My Mind’s Eye ‘Away we Go’ paper pad. I had some cute little pink buttons in my craft cupboard that matched well with Millie’s nightie so I stuck those down with a bit of super glue in the tag to match the pink/blue colour combo of her outfit and finished the card off by mounting the top piece with foam pads to give the card a bit of depth x </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 28px;">Hey everyone it's Kathy here. I love sketch challenges, and almost always use a sketch to layout my cards, so I was thrilled when up drew up this wonderful sketch for us to use. It's a nice clean and simple one, but you can really dress it up, too, if you like. I kept mine very simple this week, since it's a masculine card, didn't wan't any bows or flowers here. I used a new image called BBQ. Isn't he super? Love how sauve he looks grilling up some dinner. Going to let one of the kiddos give this to dad for Father's Day. I hope you will jump in and join us for this fun sketch challenge!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 28px;">Sally - Hi there folks. Well for this month's challenge it is all about a "Sketch". So I thought I would liven it up a bit! I saw some Zentangle Art on one of the facebook pages that I am a member of and decided to give it a go! I looked it up on Youtube first! It is funny you know as when I was doing my final years of school for my Art Class/Exams I was always drawing and painting "Optical Art" which is Zentangle Art. So I have made two items this month, one a card with one of Emma's lovely images and a paper gift bag using another image of Emma's on her new CD Rom. I ZENTANGLED them both and backed them on black card stock and some black and white design papers which I had in my crafty stash and then added a sentiment. I do hope you like them xx</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Hello everyone, this is Sarah speaking! So a new month already, my goodness where did the last month go to - it seems to have flown by. The good thing is this means it's time for a new challenge and what a lovely challenge it is too. I'm another one who likes to follow a sketch, and I also think this is a fab dress up or down sketch.</span></span><br /><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 28px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">I've used a new image and gone for bright colours - hoping to encourage the weather in the UK to change. I've used a piece of very old patterned paper then used the negative of a die-cut as a frame and popped my fabby FlatFriends image on the front of the die. I've embossed the frame and used a metal flower for a embellishment. Job done! Looking forward to all your wonderful entries!</span></span></span><br />

I thought this card would be easy as there was already a structure in place but I actually found it harder :-D I tend to have a picture in my mind of how I want my card to look when I start out and then things go wrong and the card gets smaller and smaller or changes shape completely – things never quite go to plan. I had to be much more disciplined than normal with this card which was a little challenge in itself :-)</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 28px;"> That said though, I’m actually happy with how the card turned out in the end (thanks to the ever so wonderful My Minds Eye papers and Paper Smooches stamps) and it was actually nice ending up with something that looked exactly as it had done in my head </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; line-height: 28px;">:-D x x</span><br />
