LOVE...Inkspirational Challenge #180~Word Prompt

Hello,

Hope your Saturday is warmer than ours...temperature is -25C; with windchill, -42C.  "Frostbite in minutes' says Environment Canada. Gahh! Our puppy is not a fan of this frigid weather either; little paws get cold fast!  We're going to stay inside and craft...and play...and play some more *grin*

Welcome to Inkspirational Challlenge #180~Word Prompt, where we're inviting you to feature TEXT on your cards/projects. Oh, the possibilities...large sentiments, perhaps a 'text' message, a cell phone...maybe even a typewriter?  I know you'll have fun with this!


I'm super-duper stoked that we have an awesome, talented Guest Designer joining us this month: my friend and fellow Canadian, Lindsey, from Bashful Blogging. I *met* Lindsey during the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event and what a delight she is! Creative, witty, warm...a real treasure! Please be sure to drop by her place to see her fabulous card and, if you have time, leave her some love! I know she'd be thrilled!

Two cards today, that were very quick to make thanks to the fabulous LOVE dies from The Stamp Market! First, a white version (paper from Cocoa Vanilla)


and a sparkly red one.


My wonderful teammates have interpreted the prompt in beautiful ways; please visit and leave them some love, which I know will be deeply appreciated:


Looking forward to visiting you in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!


I Heart You...Just Us Girls Challenge #474~Trend Week

Hello,

I'm delighted to be hostess for Just Us Girls Challenge #474~Trend Week and the trend I'm inviting you to use: WOOD. Wood grain paper, stamps, embossing folders; wood embellishments; images of trees/branches/logs...perhaps even a 'woodchuck' *grin* - ...whatever style and theme suits your fancy! Bring your WOOD elements and play along with us! 




This month, we're thrilled to have Lisa Elton joining us as our guest designer. Please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

I went with hearts (of course!).  Woodgrain background and patterned floral/grey papers from Cocoa Vanilla (ohmystars, but the paper collection I bought is gorgeous!); hearts and sentiment from The Stamp Market.  Simple...and hopefully pretty enough to bring a smile!


Over to you...

Looking forward to seeing your WOOD themed creations in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

UNIKO STUDIO February 2019 Release (February 8th)~Introducing Background Blocks: Graffiti Texture

Hello,

Welcome to Day 3 of the UNIKO STUDIO February 2019 Release. Today, we're featuring a new addition to the Background Blocks family: Graffiti Texture.

While the stamp was originally inspired by a combination of pop art/graffiti and men's fashion (check out Bev's background story of how this image came to be), I've 'jazzed' up this 'masculine' design with vibrant neon inks. So easy to dress it up with whatever palettes suit your style.


Need something for the guys in your lives? Then this stamp is the ticket!

Head over to the Uniko Studio blog to see what Bev and the rest of the gals have designed. A whole lot of marvelous to behold!

I'll be back tomorrow with more introductions; hope you'll drop in!

Thank you for dropping by!

Hello,

I'm joining my wonderful teammates for the STAMPlorations February 2019 Anything CAS Goes Card Challenge, with the optional colour twist: CERULEAN BLUE.


I have a 'thing' for blue roses; Shery's Heartfelt Thanks worked perfectly for this challenge! I've lapsed in my pencil colouring, as you can see here, but I do love that blue! 



Hope you'll play along with us this month and bring your CAS cards to the gallery!


Thank you for dropping by!

Hello,

Welcome to Day 2 of the UNIKO STUDIO February 2019 Release, where Bev and the team are introducing the fun geometric Stencil Abstract Triangles and Birthday Wishes, with seven sentiments perfect for both the outside and inside of your cards!

I test-drove my stencil with one of the colour combinations from Kristina Werner:  Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral and Seedless Preserves. A pretty palette indeed!


Plans galore percolating for this fabulous, trendy stencil. For now, head over to the Uniko Studio blog to see what Bev and the rest of the gals have designed. You'll be dazzled!

I'll be back tomorrow with more introductions; hope you'll drop in!
