Mid Challenge Reminder Buttons or Bows or LOC theme

Left of Center Challenge 1 Buttons and/or Bows

Hello, and welcome to the first challenge here at Left of Center Creative Challenges!  We are thrilled to have you stop by and hope you will play along with our challenges.

For help in knowing what we mean when he say LOC theme or mainstream, please read the RULES on the page above.  To make it short and sweet- LOC theme includes Steampunk  horror, anime, goth/emo, punk, edgy, dark, mythical (fairy tales, supernatural (vampires, zombies, ghosts, fairies, elves, werewolves, etc.) Halloween, and fan art.  If your project falls into one of the above categories- you can submit it as an anything goes entry and/or use the challenge item/theme as well.  The choice is yours.

If your project is more mainstream (not one of above- think traditional projects that you can submit to most challenges), you MUST incorporate the challenge item/theme into your project.  For this Challenge 1- it is Buttons and/or Bows.  

Each challenge runs two weeks, and you can enter any kind of crafting project- cards, layouts, ATCs, altered items, digital, etc.    Just link your project up at the end of the post (if the linky thing is absent, leave a comment instead).

Now, on with the show!  We are delighted to have Floppy Latte Digital Designs as our first sponsor!

They have a wide variety of styles and images-something for everyone!

Here are our DT creations for your inspiration- be sure to click on the name link to go to their blog- we have a great and talented team!
