Challenge 61 - Gifts for Animal Lovers





The True Friend team would like to wish all our readers and their fur/feathered/scaled babies a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year. To celebrate, the next challenge is all about gifts for animal lovers in your life! Grab those pet-related gifts and created a page all about them, or perhaps share gifts made for other pet lovers in your life! You could even share the gifts you have bought/made your pets!

Take a look at our DT's offerings and after you've enjoyed your day don't forget to come back and share your own wonderful creations!

Challenge 60

Preparing for Christmas

As we start the countdown to Christmas, there are a lot preparations to be made; presents to wrap, decorations to hang, festive food to eat. But do you also make preparations for your pets? Perhaps they have their own little stocking to hang up and their own little letter for Santa, maybe they like to help you with the decorating, or maybe you have to secure your Christmas tree to the wall to stop it becoming another play toy!

Show us what preparations you'll be making this Christmas involving you pets.

Challenge 59

Winter Nights

Now that Winter is upon us and it's getting rather dark and cold, do you find that your pets have their own winter traditions? Maybe they start to take up residence in front of the fire? Or maybe you have to fight them for the bed covers?

Our new DT are making their debut with this challenge and we'd all love to see what your pets do on a Winter Night!

Design Team Announcement

Apologies for keeping you waiting but we really did get lots of fabulous entries and it was so hard to pick out our new design team members! Thank you to everyone who applied; we loved seeing your pets and hope you'll keep playing along with the challenges.
Anyway, without further ado- our new DT members and a peek at their pets!

Challenge 58

Halloween!

Ah yes, the time of year when we can dress our pets up in cute costumes! Or if they're less than amused with the prospect of being paraded around the neighbourhood dressed up as Superman, maybe they like to help with the pumpkin carving! Or maybe just eating the candy instead!

Give us a trick OR treat with your Halloween pet layouts!

For those of you waiting for the DT announcement, apologies for the delay. We had fabulous entries and it's been really tough to choose between them! Hopefully we will have the final team announcement for you shortly and thanks to everyone who applied!

Challenge 57

Superheros!

If your pet could dream of being a superhero, who would they be? Would they be a caped crusader like Batman? Or maybe they'd swing on webs across the city rooftops like Spiderman? Or are they more likely to be a supervilllan, twirling their moustache as they hold a damsel captive?

Show us your layouts of your pets with super powers; lycra pants and capes optional!

Challenge 56 and a Design Team Call

Holiday and Travels

We all love a good holiday but what happens to your pets when you jet off on your travels? Do you take your pets with you on holiday? What preparations/accommodations do you have to make? Do they all stay home and you hire someone and leave a 5 page "booklet" of instructions and call everyday to check on them like Shelly? Or are you like Karen and hate leaving your babies behind?

A True Friend is having a Design Team call for some new DT members! We are looking to add to our team and if you enjoy scrapping your pets then please apply! Whether your pet is a cat, dog, Giant African snail or Leopard gecko, we love them all!
We usually have a new challenge posted every two weeks and can always use new ideas for challenges.
Send 3 examples of your work; layout, minibook, cards, altered art, etc, to atruefriendblog@yahoo.co.uk by the 1st November and we'll announce the new DT shortly after that.
Open to everyone and we look forward to seeing your work!

Challenge 55



Action!

The theme for this challenge is movement, or lack of! Whether you have a big and bouncy dog that likes to charge about, a kitty cat that prowls around or maybe a lizard that just likes to lounge about in the sun,we want to see your pets in action! Running, swimming, shaking, rolling or just lazing- show us your pages of your pets on the move.
