Does anyone have any good ideas for a February challenge? Valentines, hearts . Make something red maybe. Throw out your ideas and lets do something together.

Valentines for February would be great - but I do think that whatever we do, we need to use one of the designs from Miss Veronika - just to show our appreciation. February is a hard month for me, and maybe this will distract me some. Ok you other Cuties - what do we do?

I like the idea of a challenge - why don't we do any of the Valentine Appliques - here on CUTE - thinking outside the box - how many different ways - could we make any of these designs - there are four of them - look different from what the other's have done or what we would use these designs for? These can not be voted on - so perhaps - someone has a better idea.

We could do any of the LACE Valentine's Day Font - most of have one or more of those - don't we?

I think lace would be good this time, to give some a nudge to try something different, again!
by dlonnahawkins 28 Jan 2011
Maybe we should go for the lace - change it up a bit.

Sounds great and we should use Miss Veronika's designs.

It's a good idea. The Sunflower challenge was great fun. Doing the same design made it so much more interesting, when we saw the variety of ways it could be used. I think you may end up needing to choose, just as Sue did :)

I really like the applique' animals with hearts. I don't see to many possiblities with the lace, and not everyone is going to want to use the same alphabet. Which means we would need to be able to download the whole alphabet. I also agree that it needs to be a Ms. Veronica design to show how much we appreciate all shes done for us!

Or how about the lace hearts shown here:

I like both of them more than the alphabets ones for using in unique ways.

In the UK Valentines are only for lovers so we don't make a lot of things. However if I was to set a challenge I would say no red or pink probably!

ah ha- but it is a group choice...
as for valentines are only for lovers-does that mean that adults are the only ones in the UK that recognize and celebrate it??? Jeepers-here in the USA-grade school kids even exchange Valentines. Hmmm...different cultures, different customs. Bev's idea sounds like fun!
by spendlove 30 Jan 2011
We only have one valentine (at a time!)

Maybe it should be a theme. Love for february. Let everyone pick a design by Veronica they really like and see what they do with it. Another time we could do something more structured. just a suggestion, what do you think

Hi Bev, is this your Challenge to us? Or are we still debating? I would like to try something as too many visitors prevented me doing the sunflower. I think your above idea is good.

Sometime, not necessarily this February, I'd like to try out doing some redwork. I was thinking some white on red and of course valentines would be pretty. I want to make a tablecloth for my mom. Any hints would be nice. I heard you need to NOT use tear away stabilizer.... is this correct? I'd love to participate in this February project!

We all have our preferences - can we do any heart, no matter who the digitizer is? Just a thought to get even more variation.

It should to be a VERONKIKA design (from any of her sites) of any theme.

It was a whole lot easier with a specific design in mind, I think! Still having trouble deciding what to do, myself, but thought I'd keep this near the top!

I hope to join in this month's challenge. I started on the "sunflower challenge" and then "things" came up, like sickness, keeping Grandchildren, death in my husbands family. Well, that's just normal life isn't it? I'll try to finish it and post pic anyway. I think it's a good way for us to try all the different kind of emb. designs.
