FYI Challenge #15

Greetings everyone!

I'm so excited!  We have another amazing inspiration photo this challenge, and another fabulous sponsor.  This challenges sponsor is none other than the adorable and hilarious Bugaboo Stamps. 


You really should head over to check out their online store.  They have so much to choose from, and some absolutely wonderful stamps.  You can visit them HERE.  They were kind enough to provide each of us with some images to use this challenge, and they are offering 7 free digis to one lucky participant.  Talk about generous!

So, here is this weeks inspiration photo.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.


I love this photo for several reasons.  First, the colors are very eye catching, all of them.  You're not just drawn to one color, but all of them equally in my opinion.  Next, the textures are gorgeous against those colors.  Lastly, it's a cathedral.  I love old cathedrals.  They're always so beautiful and rustic.  I would love to attend services in a place that looked like this.  Wouldn't you? :)

And now, I give you, my card.


I used a Wee One image from Bugaboo stamps and am quite happy with how my card turned out.  I did struggle a bit, trying to figure out how to incorporate such a cute stamp with a photo that's very elegant looking.  I woke up on Sunday morning and had an idea, so I went with it. lol  Once I started gathering what I wanted to include in my card, things just sort of fell into place.  I wound up using last months SFYTT as it fit what I was looking for, design wise.  I know exactly who will be receiving this card. 

The projects my Lovely Lotuses have created for you today are so stinkin adorable!  You should head over and check them out.  I think you'll enjoy them as much as I do.  They are all so inspiring!

Have a great day!
Hugs!

Guess What?!


I'm a Drunken Stamper!  I applied for a spot on their DT recently, and they chose me as one of three new designers.  I'm so glad I finally get to announce it, and I'm honored to have been chosen.  Challenges are posted bi-weekly on Saturdays.  My first project with them will be posted this Saturday, the 8th.  I do hope you'll stop by then to see what I've got up my sleeve.  I kinda like it. lol

You can check out who else made the team by visiting the Drunken Stampers blog HERE.

Have a great day!
Hugs!

Christmas Card Challenge Week #44

Greetings ya'll!

I'm happy to be back in the swing of things, craft wise, and happy to bring you my next Christmas card.  This weeks challenge is tags.  As always, please remember that these challenges are optional.  Any Christmas/Winter/Holiday card will do.  The idea is to help jump start your Christmas mojo and get your stash started.  Here is the card I created for today's challenge.


I wasn't expecting this to turn out quite so nice.  I had the idea in my head, but it turned out better than that. lol  I really love it.  I've combined the following challenges into my card as well.

MFT Get Sketchy 9/28 - Sketch
Inky Impressions #26 - Punches or Dies
Color Throwdown #161 - Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade & Chocolate Chip (I got them pretty close, hopefully)
The Ribbon Girl - Christmas (must use ribbon)

I do hope you'll head over to the CCC blog to see what lovely projects are posted.  They're all pretty fantastic!

Hugs!
