Week 536 - Autumn 🍂🍃

Hi there, Helene here to present this week's challenge here at Allsorts. Since summer is slowly coming to an end - at least here in Sweden where I live 🧦- I figured we might start to be inspired by all the lovely autumn colours out there. So the challenge this week is to create something with Autumn colours. 🍁

The prize for a lucky winner is a store voucher from:

All the images created by JMC Designs are hand drawn by Julia McNeill, an artist who lives in the north of Scotland. Julia has a unique way of seeing everyday items in a different way, these everyday items inspire quirky and whimsical designs that just make you smile. Julia wants to share her imagination with you to inspire your creativity so you can enjoy the benefits of unleashing your creativity.

Week 534/5 - Feminine

Hi, It's Lynn here today with the new theme and I've chosen the theme of.........

Feminine

As you an see from the DT inspiration below this is a wide ranging theme and I hope to see lots of you entering. The challenge will run for two weeks as it is during the summer period.

Our sponsor this fortnight is Swedish House Crafts. The winner (chosen by random org) will win a Swedish House Crafts £10 voucher and surprise gift from Suha the owner.

My name is Suha and I have created Swedish House Crafts in the second part of 2016. It is a little Swedish online shop with lots of enthusiasm for crafting in a different style, dare to be different. Visit SHC and learn more. I have been professionally crafting since 2008, I gave colouring classes (with Promarkers) in Sweden, had exhibition in 2014, and used to make cards and mixed media mainly. I have a master degree in digital and visual design. Yes, 100% of graphics in the shop are my artwork including the logotype. Because I am not leaving my education, I am using it in my passion for paper crafting in the first place. Great combination as the future is full of plans and surprises, hold on and follow SHC on Facebook and blog, you'll find SHC everywhere.

We are joined by Guest DT Marianne from Swedish House Crafts with this lovely card using items you can purchase from Swedish House Crafts.
