AAA Card Challenge #304 - Sketch - Postage Merry and Bright (Spellbinders Rub-ons, WF)

Hello,

Welcome to AAA Cards Challenge #304 where, for the next two weeks, we invite you to draw inspiration from the sketch below.  You're not required to use circles or trees; let your creativity guide you to shapes + images. Rotating the sketch and/or using a different size card (slimline, mini slim, for example) would be fabulous as well.

Reminder that we're looking for Clean and Simple designs; you can find the description of what that means here. 

Mini slimline for me + a selection of postage backgrounds as stages for super adorable rub-ons from Spellbinders' Holiday Magic Collection, purchased from one of my favourite Canadian craft retailers, here.

I just have to say: these rub-ons take cute to a whole new level! I might have a soft spot for the snowman...and the penguin...and the deer...and Santa...and the tree. Heck, they're all delightful

Please head over to the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from our guest designer and my teammates.

Then, bring your takes on the sketch to the gallery.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Inkspirational Challenge #355 - Mood Board - Tag Quartet (MCT)

Hello, 

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #355,  we invite you to draw inspiration from the mood board’s traditional Christmas colours and holiday charm to spark your own unique card (or journal pages, or layouts, or albums or....whatever) designs. No tags required; just your imagination. You may consider:

            🎄 Playful holiday icons and illustrations
            🍬 Sweet, nostalgic details
            ✨ Cozy hand-drawn or handwritten touches

I was taken with the images on and simplicity of the tags, which lead me to creating a foursome of my own. Tag dies are from MCT; papers from 49th & Market. Fun - and easy - to make! 

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my wonderful team.

Looking forward to how the mood board inspired YOU!

Thank you for dropping by!

Just Us Girls Challenge #802 - Mood Board Week - Joy Poinsettia (SSD, Photoplay)

Hello, 

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #802 , where Carol Mc has this lovely  mood board as inspiration this week. Images, colours, the festive/Christmas 'vibe'...possibilities galore to explore.

We're delighted to have Leslie Miller joining us once again as our November Guest Designer.

I'm featuring Simply Stated Design papers once again; this time from their Golden Evergreen collection. I drew inspiration from the pine branches, colours and overall festive vibe. The sentiment: Photoplay.

Color Hues Challenge #122 - Teal and Silver - Joyful Wishes and Merry Christmas Ornaments (BetterPress Society)

Hello,

Mid-November already - and time for Colour Hues Challenge #122. For the next two weeks, Nancy, our hostess, invites us to play with hues of Teal and Silver. Such a beautiful combination, especially with the Christmas season but a blink away.

We're delighted to have two guest designers joining us: Loll and Joanne.

I used one of my recent BetterPress Society plates and dies for this challenge, glimmer foiling it first in silver, then teal. After die-cutting, I simply mixed and matched the combination, netting me a pretty twofer of quick cards to add to the collection I'll be sharing with my mom's care-giver.

Please head to the main blog to see the fabulous cards created by Loll, Joanne and my talented teammates.

Looking forward to seeing your Teal and Silver creations filling the gallery.

The challenge will be open until November 29th. 

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge, and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Thank you for dropping by!
