A couple months ago, Christine wanted to cheer me up and suggested we start a challenge blog. I don't think she ever imagined that I would be so enthusiastic or eager... or sad to say, such a relentless task master as we tackled the task. But today we celebrate the launch with a design team blog hop.
In my excitement I have created not one, not two, but THREE cards to show you!
First up is a card for the Sugar Bowl with the adorable image Demure.
The inside is just a simplified version of the sketch.
Next up, is one of my favorite Magnolia images - Kitchen Tilda which I ordered from Diana at Magnolia-licious.
The paper used was from December's card kit at Paperworks Co. I used the same paper on the inside:
Tilda will be entered into the challenges at Just Magnolia (paper pleating), Cute Card Thursday (new), Diedrich Dare (colour challenge), and Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge (sketch).
Lastly, my entry for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge.
And inside:
Antionette will be entered into the challenges at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps (heavy metal), The Pink Elephant (2 DP, 3 buttons, snowflakes), Crazy for Challenges (birthdays), Cute Card Thursday (new - stamp), Pollycraft Monday Challenge (winter birthday) and Sketch Saturday (sketch).
Note to my husband: Stop reading here!
The January release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is available today. I have already visited their store and ordered the complete line of Steampunk images including sentiments, as well as two of the fairies, and the fairy sentiments.
So, did you like the first card? Here's a hint - it was Demure from Sugar Nellie. Well, an uninked version of that stamp is what I am offering for my blog candy along with a couple other goodies. If you'd like a chance at winning my fixings, become a follower of my blog and leave a comment. I will draw the winner and post it on the Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog Sunday, January 17th when we post the first sketch challenge.
Next on our blog hop is Alica. If you get lost, check out the list of participants here.
Thank you for looking!
