June 2014 Challenge - One for the boys

Hello.  It is Kym here again, Design Team Leader for Bearly Mine Designs.

Thank you for all the entries for last months’ challenge of “Flowers”.  I hope you have popped back throughout the month to see the inspiration posts from the Design Team every couple of days.  Every few days you will see cards/creations from a member of the Design Team using Bearly Mine Designs papers.  They are all available in the Bearly Mine Designs Shop.

Before I tell you about the topic of the challenge for June 2014 it is time to tell you some news.

For this challenge onwards we are welcoming Pauline back to the Bearly Mine Designs Design Team.  Pauline took a little break but is now back with us.  Please pop on over to Pauline's Blog and check out her creations.

We recently held a Design Team call.  Thank you to everyone that applied for the Design Team.  It certainly wasn't an easy decision but the new members of the Design Team are:

Andrea

It would be lovely if you could pop on over to their blogs and see their wonderful cards/creations and we will look forward to working with them all.  For those that did not make the Design Team do not feel disheartened.  It wasn't easy to pick new members.  You need to keep on applying for Design Teams.

Right onto information about the challenge.

The Bearly Mine Designs challenge for June 2014 is “One for the boys”.

There is a wonderful section of digital sets that could be used for boys'/mens' cards.  Some are not what you would necessarily look at ie Christmas or Halloween but on top of those seasonal specific papers there are also generic papers that could be used all year round.  Some examples are as follows:

                   

Here is some inspiration from the Design Team. They have created some wonderful cards/creations for you to see.
