CCC #102 Anything Goes with Featured Critter theme starting 1 September 2025

Hi crafty friends,

welcome to our next Challenge here at Critter Crazy Challenge with our theme "Anything Goes with a Featured Critter."

We want to see animals as the focus - whether real or fantasy! Please check the rules page.

And also don't forget to check in on the last day of the month again, if you are a winner or a DT-Favourite! There are 2 winners who have Guest DT invites to be featured in an upcoming month with 1 being a random-pick and the other an owner-pick. 

And now, here are some rip-roaring inspirations from our team to encourage you to play with us:

Guest DT invite honoree: Trijntje

her info and blog link:

My name is Trijntje and I've been making cards for a long time. We live in the north of the Netherlands. I often make cards with dies and/or pictures. I also enjoy other techniques. Occasionally, I work with ink. I have my own blog https://trijntjeskaarten.blogspot.com/

I'm retired. Besides making cards, we travel a lot in our VW van. We take our bikes and explore the area by bike. I read a lot along the way. Then I leave the card hobby at home.

I also enjoy baking. I often have something homemade with coffee.

I'm happy to be a guest designer..

Greetings Trijntje

profile: My name is Lisa and I have been crafting for over 30 years.  I used to love to play with dies and papers until I discovered Copic Colouring and now that is my passion.  I love to create CAS cards and learn techniques to create backgrounds. 

I like to enter challenges and due to now working full time I am on one Design Team which I have been on for several years.
