Incy Wincy Designs Challenge -1st to the 25th every month

December 2024 - goodbye Incy

noreply@blogger.com (Heather "Hev") — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 12:55:00 +0000

Hello friends

This is the hardest post Ive ever had to make and I hope you all understand
The decision has been made to close Incy Wincy Designs Challenge.

It has been very hard to do, but after looking at everything it was the best decision.

A few of us are going to write a little something to say goodbye - and reflect on our time here.

Over the last 15 or more years I have had the most amazing people be part of the design team, quite a few did a LOT of work behind the scenes which weren't known to our followers and players. Sincerest thanks to all of the Incy Wincy Family - Id like to thank you for all your hard work over the years.

Please do follow our designers on their blogs and designing lives.

I will miss you all
Hugs, Heather

HEATHER

The past few years have been very hard, especially the last 18 months - having lost 4 family members in 15 months. The latest being my dear mother, whom I had been caring for, for the last 20 years,

Now another piece of me has to close, so it is bittersweet. As much as I wanted to get into it and make it big like it used to - I just dont have the mental energy to do it. I thought I may get my mojo back be concentrating on Incy, but then Id look at the date and realised Id missed a whole month again, and what I wanted to do wasn't happening.

Hopefully I will make me way back into crafting seriously again, one day.

Forever grateful,

Hugs, Heather

MARIA GISELLE - Blog

Thank you, all for staying with us and supporting the Incy Wincy Challenge Blog. I am forever grateful to Incy for they gave me my first break in the Design Team world back in 2016. I have grown as a designer and a blogger since I started and I owe most of that to being in the DT of Incy. Thank you Hev and the rest of the team, Karen, Suze, Helen and to the past DT members for the experience. It was a pleasure working with you. I hope to see you all through your lovely creations.-Maria Giselle

SUZE - Blog

Incy Wincy Designs was the first Design Team that I became a part of back in October 2013. I have had a wonderful time as a member of this team and enjoyed meeting many different Design Team members some of which have been here the entire time that I have. I have enjoyed seeing all the submitted projects by the participants over the years.

NOVEMBER 2024 ANYTHING GOES (with an optional twist)

noreply@blogger.com (Heather "Hev") — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 11:30:00 +0000

AUTHOR: SUZE

Wahoo! Did you guess the surprise we mentioned last month?
From now on we will be Anything Goes, and add an optional twist.
For the month of November, the additional twist is create a Christmas Card with a handmade background
We will have badges for prizes
Life is getting busier and busier here, and some of our creative minds have gone from digital images. Not saying we don't still love them, but may want to show our creativity in different ways. Or mix different elements together.
We have always encouraged our players to use any creative outlet (painting, sculpture, polymer clay etc) but I think because we had digital artists as our sponsors we all thought we had to stick to that avenue. It has never been that way but that what the rage was :)
Incy Wincy has been around since 2008/2009 so we were due for a change I think!!
If you would like to join the DT just drop us a email and we can go from there.
Take Care everyone and cant wait to see your creations

Hello, Incy Wincy friends! Thank you for your continued support to our group. We are striving but we are a strong crafting group. There are lots of options with our theme for this month. Please don't forget to mention in your post which theme you chose and why. We appreciate any interaction from you, guys!

Aside from the sketch, I chose song as an additional theme to my card. There are several songs entitled 'Because of You' that I like. One by Keith Martin, another by Kelly Clarkson, and also by Ne-Yo. Different song genres but I like it all.

BLOG POST AUTHOR:
Intro from Author:
MARIA GISELLE

Hello! Welcome back to our blog. This month's challenge is about birthdays and rainbows. I don't have anyone in my family celebrating a birthday this month. But someone celebrates a birthday here and there. So a birthday card does not get to stay long in your created cards stash. Unless, you just want to keep it, of course.
To add some twist to this month's challenge, I added another theme which is rainbow. Add a rainbow or use rainbow colors on your creation, your choice.
As always, you can use one or both themes on your creation. We can't wait to see your work.

Hello, this month we celebrate Easter. Therefore, I propose a theme for this challenge - Easter wishes. As a second alternative theme, it is gifts from the bunny. As a kid, I always had to look for what the bunny left me in hidden places. It was great fun and joy when I found the surprise. And maybe you can combine both themes. I am curious to see what you will come up with. Greetings from Poland.

Hello everyone! It is my turn to post this month's challenge! I picked the theme of "Pets and/or Happiness" as our theme for the month. Why? Because for me, my cat and some sunshine (between a cruise to the bahamas and a trip to visit my daughter in Guam over the last two months) are what have brought me happiness during these cold winter months. Now, I want to see what brings all of you happiness!!
For this challenge we have two wonderful sponsors who are being very generous with their prizes, our sponsors and their prizes are as follows -

FEBRUARY 2023 (CLOSES 25th) VALENTINES and/or IN THE GARDEN

noreply@blogger.com (Heather "Hev") — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Hello everyone!

Hope this finds you happy and healthy.
Been a very sad time here in Incy Wincy HQ - you may have noticed our team getting smaller and smaller - life gets in the way sometimes and people have to move on.
Nikki has decided to leave the DT and concentrate on her AMAZING art!!!
She has been with me from the start - gladly though she will always be my friend and in my life.
You can find her digis HERE and her art via Fb HERE where you will find her other links :)

So continuing on that note we are having a DESIGN TEAM CALL.
Possibly 6 or more cold be added :) Monthly challenges and possibly an author post during the year.

REMEMBER IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE JUST CARDS!!!

Back to this challenge - Our themes are VALENTINES and/or IN THE GARDEN
I think it would be quite easy to combine the 2 if you wish :

Our Sponsor this time is JANS DIGIS

and you can win US$6 GIFT CERTIFICATE

DECEMBER 2022 (closes 8th Jan 2023) CHRISTMAS +/or MOVEMENT

noreply@blogger.com (Heather "Hev") — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 08:00:00 +0000

Hello friends,

On behalf of myself and the team here at Incy Wincy Designs Challenge I would like to thank you so much for your continued support and friendship. Over our many years we have had many friends come and go, and we treasure each one of you. It's lovely seeing familiar names come on our Inlinkz.

I would like to personally thank my wonderful friends and Design Team for getting things done when I was missing from my duties. The last 3 or 4 years have been incredibly hard on me mentally.

Thank you to all our wonderful sponsors!! Sincerely appreciate you providing us with prizes for our winners and providing the Design Team with images to use in our designs.

Sending you all the best for the Festive Season, or however you celebrate. Wishing you and yours a FABULOUS and happy 2023 and hope to see you come along and play. We will be having a DT call in the New Year too - things are calming down life wise so be easier to get things done here.

Just a quick note that the January 2023 challenge will not start until the 15th January - So we will be back, just a little later because I forgot to organise some time off for the DT.

I chose the themes Christmas and/ or Movement. I know not everyone celebrates Christmas -so Movement is something that can be interpreted in so many ways. Remember you DONT have to make a card, or use a digital images. You can make something using stamps, mixed media, Painting, as long as it fits the theme.
Stay safe, stay happy and cant wait to see what you come up with this challenge !!
