Karen's Doodles Challenge 22 - Anything Goes

Welcome to the new challenge blog for Karen's Doodles.  We have combined members from our Scandinavian, United Kingdom and United States blogs to create a brand new team.  Challenges will still be on Mondays with three chances to win.  But we are changing things a bit, the first place winner of 3 digi images of their choice from Karen's Doodles will be awarded to the person we feel did the best work.  Our design team will vote on the entries for first place.  They will also get a Karen's Doodles Card of the Week blinkie to display on their blog.  Second and third place will still be awarded by Random.org.  Winners will be announced on Tuesday's after the challenge ends to give the DT time to vote. 

This month, our challenge hostess is Joey McKelvey, formerly on the United Kingdom team.  Here is what Joey has to say about herself...............

Hello Everyone, Its my turn (Joey) to host the very first month of Challenges on the new combined Karens Doodles Challenge Blog! I hope you all find some fabulous inspiration this month and like what I have come up with for you!  I have been making cards since 2005; my main love is stamping and colouring, I find sitting for hours on end colouring so theraputic.  I spend a small fortune on goodies but then who doesn't!!! lol   I am Mum to the most wonderful 3 children who fill my life with much joy; my eldest daughter Sydney is 9, my son niall is 6 and my baby Ella is 6 months and growing rapidly!!! lol.  They give me something new to think about every single day, Life is very busy here!!! But I wouldn't swap it for the world!  I am married to Martin; we are in our 6th year although we have been together for 11 years this November. I guess he is very tolerant of my spending but he does support my overtaking hobby.  I very much look forward to seeing your creations this month!!!  Joey x x x
