March Week 3 Challenge By The Crafty Magpies.
Welcome to the third weekly challenge for this month by The Crafty Magpies, we hope you will enjoy it and give it a go as we look forward to seeing all your work.
Sadly 2009 was a year in which it appeared that we lost many famous and popular male celebrities including Patrick Swayze, Fred Travalena, Michael Jackson, Stephen Gately (his birthday was also 17th March) and Dave Dee to name just a few. So we thought as a team that it would be nice to include a tribute to the men in our lives as part of the challenge.
As a team we all enjoy working from a sketch so we would like you to follow the sketch provided please.
It is also St Patricks day on 17th March so it seemed appropriate to add the colour green into the set challenge.
Finally as we are The Crafty Magpies we would like you to include a bird or bird related item, such as a feather, stamped bird image, bird pattern paper, etc into the challenge.
So to summarize:
The challenge is to be based on a tribute to a man/men in your life - 10pts
To follow the sketch given - 10pts
To include the colour green - 5pts
To include a bird or bird related item (feather, bird pattern paper, birs stamped image, etc) - 5pts
We hope you will join us with the callenge and we all look forward to seeing your work. You will find full details over in the challenge forum here. |

 Our House challenge for the month of March is going to be a scrap lift challenge – and please give credit where credit is due, and show us or tell us who and where you scrap lifted from. Also, this month we’d like it to be all about friendship – so please scrap your friends, they can be ones you see regularly, maybe at a crop, or maybe scrap about your online friends or even those of the furry kind.
Here are a couple of quotes to help you along J

It's been a while since we have had a nice ornate sort of font. This one would work well for a Circus theme, or a Wild West themeand looks good printed in colour. Really best for a title, and perhaps a single word (or at least short) one at that. I like the upper/lower case change of the position so you can mix them or go all dark top/all light top. a nice touch! |
