Welcome to the first of our Six By Four Challenges

This challenge is open to everyone. Just to get us started, I shall choose the first theme, which will be 'Floral'. Flowers need to feature somewhere on your design, your page size MUST be 6 x 4 inches.

I am posting this early in case anyone is going away and needs a little extra time. Sign up below to join in with this challenge.

Please read this http://www.stampingmadforum.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1217083021/0 which will give you the details of the few rules and how to take part in this challenge.

Have fun

Billie xx

It's great to see your masterpieces again Megan. I love your 6x4 piece. I have also just finished my 6x4. All I need to do is scan it and upload it. Can't believe it, it's only the 2nd of the month and I'm done. I've always always always been too late for any online challenges before -Santtu

LOL Lynn x

Lynn, I'm not one of those arty types Roll Eyes

I couldn't draw to save my life and I hate my handwriting and being a lefthander I always end up messing up what I just did by the side of my hand. I envy those that can doodle. But I just discovered that doodling is actually really easy and a lot of fun. My doodles are just dots, circles, stripes and the odd swiggle - so no talent required Cool

You should have a go - I'm sure you'd be surprised what you can do Cool

I'm hooked now Roll Eyes

It was Paul Klee who described his drawing technique as "taking a line for a walk" OK, so I'm a pedantic art historian ... !!!
