Naughty or Nice 18 : Fun in the Sun!

Hello everyone! 

It is Danielle and I'm back to kick off the month of August with a naughty challenge! To begin, thanks to everyone who played along with last month's star challenge. We were delighted to see all of your amazing entries and are looking forward to seeing your take on this month's challenge!

Now that it is August, the sun has arrived in full force and we would like to see how you have Fun in the Sun.  To play along include a sun element in your project or show us how you enjoy the sunshine: hit the beach, take a dip in the ocean, or like me, hide under an umbrella. ;)

As usual we have a fun graphic that you are welcome to include with your challenge entry:

Our July challenge, SEEING STARS, is well underway... please join us!

Naughty or Nice 17: Seeing stars

Hello everyone! 

It is Danielle popping in with this month's challenge. It is a super duper tough challenge this month. To play along with us you need to include a star or a bunch of stars on your project.  I told you it was going to be tough. And you are going to have to go out and buy a bunch of new stamps and supplies to play along, right? ;) Lol. I won't tell on you.

Here is a fun graphic if you would like to include it with your challenge entry:

Following are some fabulous samples from the design team. Very inspiring, don't you agree?

We are also delighted to be featuring a guest designer this month! LesLee Stone-Rasmus is joining us with a couple of great sample projects. Here is a little about LesLee:

Hello my name is LesLee Stone-Rasmus and I was asked to be the Guest Designer for July for Naughty or Nice Challenge blog and I am extremely excited! A little bit about me.....I was a hairdresser for 23 years and decided to change my career and became a pharmacy technician and have been doing that for 9 years. If you are doing the math in your head (LOL) I will be 49 on August 2nd. which brings me to my blog name, AugustDuce.blogspot.com.   

I have been a crafter all my life and started stamping when I was invited to a Stampin Up party in 2000. I made all my Christmas cards that year, and have been trying to do it every since. I am currently on the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Team which will go live on July 5th Yea!

And here are her super star samples, a little naughty:

and a whole lot of nice:

Naughty or Nice 16: Sketch Time

Hello everyone! Are you ready for a unique NON challenge? We thought it would be fun to throw a sketch challenge into the mix because, who doesn't love a sketch?? They are my personal favourite kind of challenge because it takes away so many decision-making steps, lol... And I'm lazy, haha.. Pull out your patterned papers and your favourite image and this one will be a snap!

I made this series of cards a few weeks ago because I am just heading into my school's performance of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown that I've been teaching/directing since January. My students are all Chinese and ESL, but they are doing an incredible job and I made these cards to give to 

them as gifts because they all love Snoopy so much... 

Here's the sketch in graphic form if you prefer!

Tobi Crawford:

Tobi again: one more (see how easy it is with a sketch??)

Naughty Or Nice: Friends

Welcome to our 15th challenge Naughty or Nice fans! 

This month we are honoring the people in our lives that we have CHOSEN to be in our lives: 

Friends!

[image source unknown]

How would we get through our lives without friends? They are so meaningful in so many ways, and I don't know about you, but I have a few really good friends that if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have made it this far... Literally! Looking back we laugh, cry, and shake our heads at all the silly stuff we've been through, and you know what?? They deserve a handmade card every now and again, don't they?!!

***Guest DT Spot***
Would you be interested in being a guest designer on our blog next month?
In addition to the winners, we will ask one person to join the team on this blog to promote the next challenge! If you're interested, indicate it by adding "guestdt" to your post title when you link up! We look forward to your entries! 


Let's see what the team thinks about Friends:

Winners Post!

Well I have a little catching up to do so I'm going to announce the March and April winners together!
We have loved seeing the participation grow on this little challenge blog and behind the scenes it really keeps us going to see all of our lovely participants - so 

THANK YOU!!!

March winners:

For our March Challenge we asked you to think green and this was a great "nice" card: 

Monika used embossing paste in a really cool way. 

Click here to see her tutorial!

And who's "naughty?"

Jane is, that's who!! 

Check out the details for her seriously naughty card HERE. 

April Winners: 

There were a lot of pretty cards in April, but the project today isn't a card at all... 

Check it out: 

Delphine did a lovely job on this Pinterest-inspired project. 

Check out her post here for more info! 

And because there weren't any Naughty cards that fell within our parameters 

we decided to pick another Nice winner!

Andrea made this soft and sweet card for spring and it's 

just lovely!

Thanks for stopping by and keep your eyes peeled for our next challenge.... 

In the meantime, ladies grab your badges and share them with pride!!
