AAA Birthday Challenge ##72 - Mythical - Unicorns and Rainbow Happy Birthday

Hello,

Can you believe it's already April? Time flies! A new month means a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and, for Challenge #72, we invite you to create cards with a MYTHICAL theme. Dragons, fairies, unicorns, elves, gnomes...bring out your fantastical creatures for a wild birthday celebration!

We're delighted to have  Silke joiining us as our Guest Designer. 

I coloured a herd of unicorns from Alex Syberia Designs' Always Be Yourself collection, and selected a couple for my card. I've paired them with her Quicky Rainbow dies and a sentiment from Concord and 9th. You'll definitely see more unicorns from me soon; they're so much fun!


Please head over to the main blog for fabulous inspiration from our Guest Designer and my teammates.

Just Us Girls Challenge #768 - STENCIL Week - Sending Hugs and Good Vibes (Uniko Layered Posies, Perforated Paper)

Hello,

Welcome to our super fun Stencil Week for Just Us Girls Challenge #768. Vicki, as hostess, has the pleasure of selecting the winner this go-round. 

Once again, Jeanne Jachna joins us as our March Guest Designer; thank you for sharing your fabulous creativity and inspiration with us this month, Jeanne!

I've seen several crafters use perforated paper to create cards recently and, since I have a few sheets in my stash, I decided to give it a try (especially since I've made the decision 'not' to cross-stitch/stitch on paper any more). The texture of the paper worked a charm with my new Uniko Layering Picked Posies Stencil which, by the way, I absolutely LOVE!  


Please head over to the main blog to see the fabulous cards designed by Jeanne and the rest of the team.
Then, bring out your stencils, give them plenty of inky-love and share your artwork in the gallery.


Thank you for dropping by!

Just Us Girls Challenge #767 - MOODBOARD Week - To A Wonderful Friend (Rub-ons)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #767 where our lovely hostess, Lisa, has selected a lovely Spring themed mood board as inspiration this week. Flowers, greenery, eggs, butterflies, a sweet lamb, cupcakes...so many wonderful choices to spark ideas.


Once again, we're delighted to Jeanne Jachna join us as our March Guest Designer.

A mood board *this* pretty sent me to my collection of rub-ons to find images that would do it justice - and I found them in a set of three butterflies.  Yes, I am a rub-ons fan!


Please head over to the main blog to see the wonderful creativity of Jeanne and the rest of my outstanding team. 
Looking forward to seeing how the mood board inspires you.

Thank you for dropping by!

Colour Hues Challenge #106 - Lemon and Lime - Wishing You a Beautiful Day Butterfly

Hello,

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #106, where our lovely hostess, Julie, invites us to play with hues of Lemon and Lime for the next two weeks. Her combination certainly evokes the feeling of Spring, citrus fruits and a range of other images and ideas.

The wonderfully talented Michele (I Card Everything) joins us as our Guest Designer; we're delighted to have you showcasing your creativity with us, Michele!

My lemony butterfly has alit on a decorative shades of lime landing site. Simple...once the idea gelled!

Apologies for the rather muted photo; the colours are more vibrant in real life.

Please head over to the main blog to see the fabulous inspiration from my creative teammates, then join us in the gallery with a lemon-and-lime card/project of your own.

The challenge will be open until March 29th @ 9:00 am EDT.

Inkspirational Challenge #337 - Designer's Choice - SPORTS - Hockey Congrats

Hello,

It's Designer's Choice over at Inkspirational Challenge #337.  For the next two week, Pia invites you to "play" along with a totally fun challenge: SPORTS.  I'm looking forward to seeing an array of sports featured in the gallery.

 

A hockey-themed stencil + ephemera card for my hockey-playing nephew. In a few short weeks, he'll be heading to try-outs for a 2025-26 Winter team (I know...we're barely in to Spring!). Since I already know he'll be selected (nothing like a biased aunty, right!), so I'm ready with a Congrats card.


Please head over to the main Inkspirational blog to see fabulous sports-themed cards from my teammates.
Then, bring out your A-game and join us in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!
