The Challenge 1 year Anniversary!

 

   Hello and welcome to the 1 year Anniversary celebration of The Challenge! Today I am joining the design team, and other past design team members to celebrate this occasion. We also have a fantastic sponsor:

 

               Now onto my card! The theme this week is "anything goes" so create to your hearts content! I chose to make my card a "Thank You" card to thank Lesley and the rest of the design team members for their friendship and inspiration! I used Papertrey Ink stamps to create my card.

                        I am happy you stopped by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Your Next Stamp Sketch/Color Challenge # 10 - Cuppa Thanks

 

Hello and welcome to the YNS Sketch and Color Challenge! This week there is a lovely color combo, and a fun sketch for you to play along with! Here they are!

 

 

 

 

Here is the card I created using ONLY the color combination:

 

 

To create my card I used the new and adorable set Sprinkles - Coffee and Tea:

 

             So cute! I also used the YNS Flower Fun One die set and I used it to create a fun pattern for my background.

               I am happy you stop by and I hope you will play along with the YNS Color/Sketch Challenge!

 

 

 

 

MFT Color Challenge 18 - Dog Biscuits

Woohoo! It's time for a new MFT Color Challenge! This week we have a beautiful color combination for you to play with!

 

 

 

I had SO much fun making this "get well soon" dog biscuit treat box! And thank you to SRM Stickers for giving us the fun packaging to play with this week!

 

The sentiment looks wonky but my camera wanted to capture the detail of the die-cut side, and heart die-cut on top! It's stamped perfectly, I promise. ;)

 

 

This week I created an "extra" card using this weeks Color Combo and I am THRILLED with the way it turned out!

 

 

 

I had a vision of my card idea in my head, and as you know sometimes they don't always translate well onto your card. This time I was lucky. ;)

 

I hope you will play along with us this week with  MFT Color Challenge 18!

YNS March Release Blog Hop!

Hello friends and welcome to the YNS March New Release Blog Hop! I am happy to be joining the design team for today's hop!

MFT Color Challenge 16 Bonus Card - Hello Friend

 

Good Evening! I loved the color combination from MFT Color Challenge # 16 and wanted to play one more time!

 

 

To create my card I used my new favorite MFT Floral set Circle Scribble Flowers with matching dies. I also used a sentiment from Wavy Greetings. If you'll notice it isn't WAVY! The wonderful thing about photopolymer stamps is you can shape sentiments any way you like on your block, so I straitened mine to fit my card! I added a subtle background using the Harlequin stencil and Kraft dye ink. My floral arrangement is anchored on a die-cut from Blueprints 22.

 

I am so happy you stopped by, and I hope you will play along with MFT Color Challenge 16!
