Winner of Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper December challenge

When I started this challenge blog at the beginning of the year, I never dreamed that it would attract so many entries every month - thank you so much for all your support and sharing such creativity with us. This blog would be nothing without YOU.

If I haven't yet got round to leaving a comment on your entry, I will do so, it's just that with Christmas and the busy-ness that it entails, I got a bit behind.

Unfortunately, there could only be one winner for the December challenge and this is the result of using random.org:

Number 350: vilinke,

This is one of the lovely shaped cards she shared:

Congratulations,  vilinke. Please email me at hazelharris@ntlworld.com with your full name and address so that I can post your prize pack of papers.

The challenge for January 2015 is here

I look forward to seeing your entries

There is a prize of 
A pack of Fun Fair 6" x 6" papers - 48 sheets - 4 sheets of 12 designs

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper December challenge

Welcome to

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

There are loads of challenge blogs around, but, as far as I know, there is a gap that needs to be filled:

A challenge that is always about using
Patterned Papers on cards

which is why I started

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

I don't know about you, but I have enough patterned papers

to keep me going for a very long time

so let's make sure we use plenty of them

A gentle reminder: Please make sure you read the following (there are no other rules) because there have been a few entries creeping in where plain card stock has been used to cover the card blank with very little evidence of much patterned paper - after all, the whole idea of this challenge blog is to use patterned paper.

The monthly challenge will always be 'anything goes' as long as you cover your card blank or other creation with patterned paper or card, using any size or shape that you wish - there are no other rules! You can add embellishments if you wish, stamp, emboss etc - but you must cover your card blank with patterned paper or card. The creation can be for any occasion.

You can leave a small border around your paper when you adhere it to the card blank if you wish, but only a small border! And your creation doesn't have to be a card, it can be any project as long as it is covered with patterned paper.

You will be able to enter as many times as you wish during the month and link with as many other challenges as allow you to do so.

As I have an abundance of patterned paper - 12 x 12, 8 x 8, 6 x 6, A4 - I'm giving a prize each month to the randomly chosen winner. I'm willing to post anywhere in the world, so that means that anyone can enter regardless of where you live.

This is the prize for this month's challenge:

A pack of Old Treasures 8 x 8 papers - 12 designs x 2 sheets 160 gsm

Please scroll down or click here to see the winner of Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper November challenge.

It's worth checking because it might be you!

I hope you will join in again for the December challenge and that the news will spread even further so that others come and join us too.

December challenge

If your cards happen to fit the theme for the week on my CHNC challenge blog, please feel free to add there as well and also for my CHNC challenge extra blog, which is always 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

Remember that for this Patterned Paper challenge
cards can be for any occasion

I bought two packs of the Old Treasures papers so that I could make a card to show some of them - I used four papers from the pack - more about it here on My Crafty Outlook:

I am aware that for some unknown reason the blogpost for the June challenge shows up and then disappears, leaving only the inlinkz. Please be patient as I try and fix it. Unfortunately, because I'll be out it won't be till later in the day.

I'm back again to apologise further that it's been such a week that I haven't got round to fixing this.

Winner of Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper May challenge

There were 526 entries during May. I am bowled over by the number of creations that have been shared month by month already since I started this challenge blog at the beginning of the year. I had no idea that there would be so much interest and support. Thank you all so much for making this a great success. Please keep your entries coming!

Unfortunately, there could only be one winner for the May challenge and this is the result of using random.org:

Number 239: Carol

I look forward to seeing your entries

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper May challenge

Welcome to

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

There are loads of challenge blogs around, but, as far as I know, there is a gap that needs to be filled:

A challenge that is always about using
Patterned Papers on cards

which is why I started

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

I don't know about you, but I have enough patterned papers

to keep me going for a very long time

so let's make sure we use plenty of them

The monthly challenge will always be 'anything goes' as long as you cover your card blank or other creation with patterned paper or card, using any size or shape that you wish - there are no other rules! You can add embellishments if you wish, stamp, emboss etc - but you must cover your card blank with patterned paper or card. The creation can be for any occasion.

You can leave a small border around your paper when you adhere it to the card blank if you wish, but only a small border! And your creation doesn't have to be a card, it can be any project as long as it is covered with patterned paper.

You will be able to enter as many times as you wish during the month and link with as many other challenges as allow you to do so.

You can scroll down to see the winner for the April challenge or click on the link here. It's worth checking because it might be you!

As I have an abundance of patterned paper - 12 x 12, 8 x 8, 6 x 6, A4 - I'm giving a prize each month to the randomly chosen winner. I'm willing to post anywhere in the world, so that means that anyone can enter regardless of where you live.

It's worth checking because it might be you!

I hope you will join in again for the May challenge and that the news will spread even further so that others come and join us too.

May challenge

This is the prize for May, which will be given to the randomly chosen winner - this time it is an 8" x 8" paper pack of 40 sheets of Papermania 'Boutique'on the back of which there is a project sheet by Jesse Edwards, the creator of the papers.

If your cards happen to fit the theme for the week on my CHNC challenge blog, please feel free to add there as well and also for my CHNC challenge extra blog, which is always 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

Remember that for this Patterned Paper challenge cards
can be for any occasion

This is my first card for the challenge, using some much neglected Far East stack papers (I thought it would be nice to photo the card on top of the 8" x 8" paper stack) - you can read more about this here on My Crafty Outlook:

Winner of Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper April challenge

There were well over 500 entries during April - I so enjoy visiting your blogs and seeing your wonderful creations. I'm glad that this little blog has encouraged some crafters to dig out some of their hoarded patterned papers and use them - and, of course, there's nothing against buying some others and using them too - lol! It was lovely to see some new folk joining in - please continue to 'fly the flag' for this challenge blog so that others get to know about it and join in. 

Unfortunately, there could only be one winner for the April challenge and this is the result of using random.org:
