Challenge 18 - G is for ....

Well it looks like it's time for another challenge.  What a success the 'Anything Goes' challenge has been (nearly 300 entries as I schedule).  The current challenge is sponsored by the fabulous Letraset.


ProMarkers are made by Letraset and are a twin tipped, dye based alcohol marker offering a high quality product at a great price. Avilable in 148 colours, they give incredible tonal range and can be applied to a diverse range of materials, not just paper and card. ProMarkers produce vivid, bright colours right through to the subtlest pastel shades - the translucent inks can also be overlaid and blended, even further extending the range of shades and hues on offer. ProMarker's quality nibs and inks provide flawless colour lay down with consistent coverage and no unsightly streaking.

I'm scheduling this from my holidays and I only just realised that I haven't checked the prize but I'm sure it'll be wonderful.  I'll update the post as soon as I can but don't think I'll have internet access for a few days.

The current challenge was set by our team mate, Alex, who is currently taking time out to move house.  It's a nice open challenge so no excuses for anyone.  Here are the ideas that we came up with, hope you like them:








Donna
(G is for GOOOAAAL!)

Alison
G is for guitar.
(The sentiment I have used is a freebie on my blog)



Sarah
G is for Green


G is for Garden Shed



G is for Guitar





G is for Grow


Grow where you are planted




Because I'm scheduling this in advance, not everyone's cards are ready but there's a list of the Design Team's blogs at the top right.  Please take a look at the rest.

So there you have it, now for some rules:

1.  Your card must be new for this challenge.
2.  The card must follow the theme set.
3.  The card must be for a man/boy

The challenge runs until 12 midnight (British Summer Time) on 11 September 2011.  Enter you card in the list below, or leave a comment if it's unavailable.
