Good Morning Everyone! Welcome to Challenge #15 "Something Old / Something New"! Since this is our last challenge for 2011, we decided to make it an easy one! You are probably wondering how "Something Old / Something New" could be easy... Well it is ALL in how you interpret it! We were thinking that you could make it what you wanted or needed, such as wedding, anniversary projects, or as a reflection on the passing year and a new outlook for the coming year, or maybe dig out those old tools, notes on older techniques and give them a try with something new! Just a quick reminder, you are only limited by your imagination! You can use any image for this challenge! We would LOVE to see all types of creations, whether it is a Card, Scrapbook Page, Fat Page, Tag, ATC (Artist Trading Card), Box, Bag, 3D ~ Altered Art, or Other Crafting Projects that has some form of paper on it!

All of our Design Team's inspiration is listed above, along with Inlinkz. This challenge will run until Saturday, December 31, 2011 at 6pm CST. Please be sure to check the challenge tab for ALL the guidelines that we have set for our challenges! And for an added bonus, we will be looking for some works of art to be Spotlighted!

Our Sponsor for this challenge isFloppy Latte Designs. Jessica the owner/artist of Floppy Latte Designs has so graciously offered a $10.00 Gift Certificate for her online store! Isn't that an awesome prize for one lucky person? She also allowed our Design Team to have several images and digi papers to create with! We hope that you like our creations!

I love to draw and sketch and decided to share my creative talents with you all. The story behind the name stems from a fantastic Christmas Gift I got from my Significant Other, Mark. An espresso/capp machine. Since he is not a true coffee house guy, he just called all the coffees Floppy Lattes, and now you know.....the rest of the story (courtesy of the great Paul Harvey!) I do hope you enjoy my images and designs!

My name is Miranda van den Bosch and I’m 46 years old. I have been drawing nearly all my life. At the age of 4 I was making drawings on a blackboard, but because my parents thought it was a pity that I had to erase all my drawings they got me paper and colour pencils. And I’ve never stopped drawing since. When I was little I used to draw portraits and Disney characters. After that I started to draw fairies and dragons. In time, I joined an art group and learned to draw nudes and still life portraits too. When I was in my 30ties I became interested in birds and started to draw them as well. And last year I published my first children’s book. It’s an ABC of birds and 26 birds tell you about birdlife in general. A good friend of mine wrote the text. About 2 years ago, I discovered card making and how I could use stamps with my colouring technique and style. I really enjoy colouring up all the cute images with watercolour or with regular colour pencils. Every week I discover new brands of stamps and I just decided to draw some digi stamps to see if other people liked them. A new world of being creative is opening up for me.
