Teenage Kicks

It's the first of July, those of us in the may be forgiven for thinking it's October given the weather, but it is still the heart of summer supposedly, and now it's time for a new challenge at St Luke's so if the sun isn't shining on you we have something to keep you occupied...

This month we are looking for cards for teenagers.  It's time to swerve the cute and dig out images with a little "edge" and make something funky and modern for those difficult teenage years.  For boys or girls - the choice is yours - just be sure to channel your inner "Kevin"!!!

We have another fabulous prize for you again this month - the lovely ladies at Ribbon Girl have kindly donated a £10 gift voucher so you can have a little shopping spree and top up on their wonderful stash!   Click the voucher image below to see what they sell if you're not familiar with them.


If you're struggling to think of an idea then our DT have a whole host of eye candy for you this month - check out our inspiration parade and don't forget to click the names to link to our blogs for details of how we made our cards.



Jenny - for a boy
 and again for a girl





Did you find your Kevin yet???  (for those of you not in the UK, or who didn't watch it, this is a reference to a character that Harry Enfield the comedian used to play on TV - he went upstairs aged 12 a nice friendly boy and came down on his 13th birthday a miserable, bad tempered teenager!)   I hope that inspires you to join our challenge - our numbers have been a little low this summer - so I wanted to remind you that you don't HAVE to send your card to play along - by playing and publicising the challenge you're still doing "your bit" to help us so please join us if you have the time.  We look forward to seeing all your fun and funky entries.

  2. My teenager card is for a very sweet and gentle young lady (although I suspect she can throw a strop behind closed doors!). Di xx
