Now, for this next "challenge" spot, I was supposed to put out the call to fill our upcoming Belles 'n Whistles Guest DT spots....but it totally slipped my mind! What we'll do instead is this: Jodi has come up with a challenge, challenge #22. We'll start with Jodi's challenge and I will do my official Guest DT call this Wednesday sometime, so hang tight! A good thing perhaps...it means that if you would like to, you have the theme from this 22nd challenge to use to create your Belles 'n Whistles Guest DT entry! So okay, on to challenge 22 then!

Challenge 21, Stitches, News & Stitches!

2009-09-21T10:25:00.000-07:00

~~~~Scroll Down for winner of Challenge #20~~~~

The theme for this challenge was chosen by the wonderfully talented Rosette!
Rosette would like you to break out the sewing machine, your stencils,
rub-ons or pens and would like to see you use...
---S-T-I-T-C-H-E-S!---
In this challenge, stitches (as well as the appropriate stamp image) are what you'll need to be sure to use in your project. You do NOT need a sewing machine--you can do faux stitching, use rub-ons, stickers, etc! So get ready to stitch...show us what you got! =)

Now for the news! My how time flies! Did you know, it's nearly time for another Belles 'n Whistles Guest DT call? That's right! This means that not only are you entering this challenge for a chance at winning a fabulous new Belles 'n Whistles Stamp from the new Fall Collection, this is also your last chance at creating an entry for my next Belles 'n Whistles Guest DT call! This time, I will be selecting 3 Guest DT to join us for the months of November and December. More specifics will come on October 5th, when I announce the official call. Those guests that are chosen will be joining the now 10 permanent members of my Belles 'n Whistles DT!

Congratulations Lynda, Kathrin and Lilian! Welcome aboard--that is, if you'd like to stay! =)

Anyone interested in a Guest DT position should enter this challenge if you haven't already entered a previous challenge since our last GDT call (on June 15th). You will be asked to submit a previous challenge entry for consideration to join as a Guest.

As a heads-up to everyone: This will also be the last GDT call made here on the Roses on Paper/Belles 'n Whistles combined Challenge Blog. All future Belles 'n Whistles GDT calls will be hosted on our very own Belles 'n Whistles blog. I will also require then that only Belles 'n Whistles images be used in submissions for GDT calls.

**When joining us in this challenge, please remember to use a Belles 'n Whistles, Magnolia, Alota, Greeting Farm OR Bildmalarnas (*NEW to Roses on Paper!*) stamp in order to qualify!**
The winner of this Challenge will be chosen randomly on
Monday, October 5th...you have until October 4th to enter!

The prize for this challenge will be one exciting new
Belles 'n Whistles stamp from the Fall Collection, winner's choice!

Yes sireeee! It is summertime indeed. I've been constantly reminded of this today (and still now)by the sunburn on my arms and legs that I picked up at the beach yesterday.

Summer and Vacation!

So get out your summertime and vacation/travel images and start crafting. Think of your last vacation, summer, sun, beaches, relaxing, flowers, fresh fruit, BBQ etc!"

Thank you all for your patience in waiting for the posting of this challenge! This challenge is the pick of DT member Iris...

time to decorate a candle!!

How fun is that? For those of you who've done it, you know it can be a LOT of fun! For those who haven't tried it yet, now's the time! Candles make wonderful all-ocassion gifts, even just to brighten someone's day (or night, LOL!)...

Check out the wonderful tutorial Iris has put together on decorating candles!
Visit our beautiful Roses on Paper DT Project Blog for instruction and insight!

Now if you don't want to or cannot venture into decorating a candle with us, here is an alternate project for you...Iris has chosen a beautiful photo (above) that she'd like you to use as inspiration for a card! You should get inspired by the gorgeous scene/colors and make a card you are inspired to make!

Don't forget to use an image from Magnolia, Alota, Stampavie, or the Greeting Farm

on this project!

The winner of this Challenge will be randomly chosen and announced on Monday, April 20th! (I'm giving a couple days extra because I REALLY want everyone to try the candle decorating!)

**Candle-decoraters will get DOUBLE POINTS for this one...

your name will be thrown in the pot, TWICE!**

This week's prize is a set of 2 of the Greeting Farm's cute new Fairies...

Fairy Chloe & Fairy Eva!

Some beautiful pictures from a few of the DT members,

For those of you who have never done masking,
don't panic, it's not scarey, it's actually quite fun

needs to be stamped first, the image that is way in the
back is the last image...

include at least one ROSE
(think outside the square - doesn't have to be a stamp)
Layout is your choice."
