Challenge #60 A New Start with Ike's Art

Good Morning and a Very Happy New Year to you all. I hope you enjoyed the festivities and celebrations wherever you are and whatever you believe. The New Year traditionally sees the making of resolutions, stopping something or starting something... new beginnings if you will. So that's what our first challenge of 2015 is about - A New Start. Our sponsor for this is Ike's Art and we hope to see you join in with a project fitting the theme or indeed an LOC Creation! 

Here are Team A with some fabulous inspirations for you! Enjoy!

Mo and the LOC Crew here! Taking a break from the festivities and hoping you have all had a fabulous Christmas. Just a quick reminder that we have the 'Black Christmas' challenge going on until the 2nd of January and you can pop your projects here to enter.

Our sponsors are Delicious Doodles and Smeared Ink and we have a couple of inspirational projects to show you just now.

Susan has used the Steampunk Reindeer on a card here

 And for the 12 days of Creepmas she created this fabulous book of Fat Pages using Smeared Ink images throughout. Check out her blog for more info!

Challenge #59 Black Christmas with Delicious Doodles and Smeared Ink

Welcome to the final challenge at Left of Center for 2014 and we are celebrating Creepmas or a Dark Black Scary Christmas if you prefer!!! Get your alternative side out and go all LOC for this last challenge. We are running this over two weeks for the holidays and the closing date will be January 2nd. We will be taking a short break and the first challenge of 2015 will start on January 9th. We hope you will enjoy this last one of the year and look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year!

Our sponsors for this are Delicious Doodles and Smeared Ink. We are very thankful to Teri at Delicious Doodles for her support of LOC and sponsorship of our challenges and are saddened to know that the DD Store will close it's doors on Dec 31st due to new horrific tax laws coming into force. We are thankful, however, that you will still be able to get some of her darker images at Smeared Ink! It is sheer coincidence that we have both stores sponsoring this fortnight - get ready for lots of inspirational projects! Enjoy!!
