Color Hues Challenge #63 - Hot Pink and Cyan...Happy Birthday and Celebrate Hats (Pink and Main, Hero Arts)

Hello,

May 1st! Ohmystars! Anyway...the merry month of May brings us two new Colour Hues challenges, the first of which - Colour Hues Challenge #63 -  begins today. Our lovely hostess, Hannelie, invites us to use hues of Hot Pink and Cyan as our inspiration for the next two weeks. A spring/summer combination for sure.  

We're delighted to welcome Kristin as our guest designer for this challenge. 

We have a wide variety of cards from our guest and the team, proving this pairing works wonderfully with an assortment of images and occasions.

I'm slowly making my way through last October's Crop & Create box + classes (and yes, I did sign up for this year's, too, even though I've not even played with 1/2 the stuff from the previous version. Talk about late assignments! LOL!). Following a lesson from Jennifer McGuire and adding my own spin, I've made two cards with products from Pink & Main and Hero Arts. Papers for the hats are from MCT; background diagonal paper from Waffle Flower. A bit of whimsy with Hot Pink and Cyan!

This challenge will be open until May 14th @ 9AM!

Let's see the gallery filled with your amazing Hot Pink and Cyan creations.

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live.

The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a 

future Guest Designer!

Just Us Girls Challenge #677 - CASE a DT CARD Week...Today's Good Mood Sponsored By Coffee (TE Perk Up Kit)

Hello,

We have a new challenge making its debut at Just Us Girls Challenge #677: CASE a member of the Design Team. This challenge replaces the months-with-five-Saturdays Wild Card week. Essentially, we're inviting you to select one of the design teams card and create *your* version of it. Colours, theme, images, design: the choices are yours. Let us know which card you're CASE-ing in your post, be that on your blog or online gallery. We're so excited to be your source of inspiration! 

A huge thank you to Joanne James for being our April Guest Designer; your cards have been delightfully inspiring!

I've selected *coffee mugs* as my theme, using my new Taylored Expressions Perk Up kit. It took quite  a while for this collection to arrive at my place (so happy to have a Canadian retailer able to order this for me), so you'll be seeing it receiving plenty of use. The stamped + stenciled cups are way too much fun to ink!

What sparks ideas for YOU should you decide to CASE my card? Theme, mugs, colours, 'grid' design, patterns (the little cate face is adorable)...lots of choice.

Looking forward to a gallery filled with fun CASES!

Just Us Girls Challenge #675 - MOODBOARD....Garden Hello (Spellbinders)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #675, where our lovely Nancy has created this fabulous Spring-themed Mood Board as our inspiration this week. Isn't it fabulous...pink boots, pink flowers, pink garden tools (YES!), a plant in a macrame hanger, a framed verse, an inviting green space...so many possibilities.

Here's a close up so you can see all the pretties:

Once again, we're delighted to have Joanne James joining us as our April guest designer.

The pink gardening tools caught my eye, offering a wonderful opportunity to use some of the items in my Spellbinders Shopping Cart collection. Sentiment is from Honeybee Stamps; the oval framing from MCT. Now I want pink gardening tools or, at the very least, a pink sun hat!

Looking forward to seeing what features of the Moodboard 'springs' your creativity.

Happy Easter - Bunnies and Eggs Baskets (Poshta Design)

Hello! 

I've been doing a LOT of stitching the past 2 - 3 weeks, with the amazing dies from @poshtadesign to make five sets of bunnies and eggs for my mom (eggs with M for mom and B for Bacia, which is 'grandma' in Polish), her companion/care-giver (the D eggs), my niece (Miss T), my nephew (Mr. C) and my sister (the A eggs). If you swipe, you'll see the bunnies and eggs, along with chocolates, in their 'baskets', followed by a photo of everything. One 'oops' on the small egg for my niece, but she won't mind; she's a sweetie!

I LOVE x LOVE @poshtadesign.

Connor, my nephew

Dorothy, my mom's care-giver/companion

My mom - M for mom and B for Bacia, which is Polish for Grandma

My niece, Tessa

My sister

Here they are in their baskets:

The whole crew: 

Now on to another round of dies and felt!
