Challenge 26 ... Acetate...

Well it's safe to say that our Penguin Challenge proved to be a popular topic with you all and we were treated to some stunning works of art last week.  Thank you to everyone who joined in and please accept our apologies if we haven't yet visited your blog.  Rest assured we will catch up with you shortly.  It will be interesting to see how this week's theme will grab you as we'd like to see your ideas for using 
Acetate 
Now there's no need to look so scared ... acetate isn't as difficult to incorporate into your cardmaking as you might fear, as you will see from the DT examples shown below AND we have 2 brand spanking new Guest Designers joining us this month.  We're delighted and proud to welcome Bah! Humbug! regulars  
to the team .. WHOO HOO! ... and your crafty tastebuds are going to be tickled pink when you see their challenge projects.    
If you'd like to know more details about this week's DT projects, or just want to leave some love for Ann, Max, Abi and Kathy K please click on the links above each image to visit our personal blogs.  We always appreciate your comments and opinions.

*********************
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 7th July 2011
 *********************
WHOOPS!  Nearly forgot ... as an added incentive, (and because this is the 1st challenge for July), we have a bribe ... errrrm ... a prize up for grabs for one lucky random entry which include a pack of acetate card jackets as well as some super sparkly embellishments and a dinky clear stamp set.  Now surely that's enough to tempt you into having a go isn't it?  You BETCHA'!
You are free to create whatever you like ... it doesn't have to be a card ... in fact, show us as many different Christmas Projects as you want to share.  
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.

    EIYIYI! had to pick a toughy this week, eh? Hope I can make it. Lots to do for the 4th and we're having houseguests. Lovely examples, though. Can I just borrow one of yours? LOL xxD

    Thanks for offering a Christmas challenge that uses acetate. I have been planning to make a Christmas shaker for ages. I can't find a Mr. Linky, so you can find my project here: http://craftingsue.blogspot.com/2011/07/thank-you-snowman.html. Thanks for the chance to play along. Hugs
