Challenge #50 - A Sketch and A DT Call!

Happy Friday folks! I hope you are enjoying the Halloween festivities and all the ghostly, ghastly, creepy and cute crafting that's going on! I hope you will join us for our challenge this week and share some of your craftiness with us. But, before that, we are looking for some new members of the LOC Crew.

Yes, we are holding a DT Call for several new members and we are looking for you!

If you are interested, please click here or visit the DT Call tab at the top of the blog.

Challenge #50 this week is a Sketch challenge! We would love you to create a project based on the sketch. This was designed by Eiglas, a former member of the LOC Crew and we love this layout. We hope that you will too and we'd love to see what you do with it. You can alter it within reason but we'd still like to see the basic layout - why not check out what the DT have done with it for your inspiration.

We are sponsored by A Day for Daisies this week and you could win a gift certificate to their store.

Teresa using Raven Waiting

Susan using Fall Fairy Friend

Samara using Flower Monkey

PennyRae using Little Pumpkin Witch

Maureen using Full Moon

And remember if you go LOC, you dont have to worry about the Sketch!

Sorry for the late posting of today's new challenge! All is well and we're ready to go.
I hope you had a look at the winner's post below and hope to see you all joining in this one.

The theme for this week is Altered Art - without being too specific though, we will accept any crafting project, but NO CARDS. Check out the LOC Crew samples below for inspiration and you could win a gift certificate to our sponsor's shop. This week it is Ike's Art.

Teresa has altered a box using 'Not the Sistine Chapel'

Penny has altered a pencil holder tin with 'The Hatter'

and Steph has made an Art Journal page using a fairy image from Ike's Art

Pam using Troll

I hope we have inspired you to get creating! We're looking forward to seeing what you alter this week. Dont forget, you can enter LOC creations (we will accept LOC cards) and you dont have to stick to the theme!
