Challenge #230 - Bling It Up!

I am in the mood for a little bit of sparkle, so I want to see some bling on your projects this week!  Show me some gems, sequins, etc. on your card, layout or project.

Here is my inspiration for you.



I found this clear little acrylic purse in my stash so I started by running it through the Cuttlebug and embossing it with a sweet flower print. Then I added some pretty blue gemstones to the center of each flower!

Since it is clear and I didn't fill it with anything yet, it didn't photograph too well :(  But it really is darling in person and I hope it inspires you to bling it up this week!  If you do, be sure to link up your sparkly creation below and we will visit your blog.

And don't forget to top by each of the Girlfriend's blogs for more inspiration.

Challenge #229- A Rainbow of Colors!

Hi everyone!! Jodi here today to share with you this week's challenge- a Rainbow of Colors!   I am a big fan of using lots of color, and I thought why not have a challenge, where you are using as many colors of the rainbow that you can! PLUS Spring is this week, and I could use some brightening up too, don't you think?!

Here is the card I created for the challenge:

Okay, I wend a little overboard, and actually used a rainbow and had rainbows in my sentiment, but all you have to do for this challenge is add as much color as you can! Can't wait to see some colorful cards!!

I hope you have a chance to play along with us for this weeks challenge. Remember to link up your projects below. For more inspiration please be sure to check out what the other Girlfriends have created.

Stop back on Tuesday to check out the features for this challenge. Can't wait to see the Rainbow of colors!

Challenge # 228 Truly Dimensional

Hi everyone, Tracy here with this week's challenge, which is "Truly Dimensional".

So what does that mean?

Well your card or some element of the card (image, embellishments) needs to have some dimension. Whether you choose a fancy fold, use dimensional adhesive or layers on the paper and embellishments, the options are endless. Just remember no flat allowed for this challenge!

I created dimension with both my card and my image, making a centre step card using a digital image from Sassy Cheryl (Bubble gum fun).


A closer look at the dimension in the image.


I hope you have a chance to play along with us for this weeks challenge. Remember to link up your projects below. For more inspiration please be sure to check out what the other Girlfriends have created.

Stop back on Tuesday to check out the features for this challenge. Happy crafting!

Challenge #227 Punch It Up!

Hi there, Jayne here with this weeks challenge and I thought I would go easy on you this time around!

Since Christmas, I've been using my Silhouette Cameo quite a lot on my creations, which means some of my older and favourite 'go to' tools have been neglected.

For this reason, I thought it would be fun to get back to my roots and use one of the staples I would previously never have created anything without......punches!

I decided to choose one of my faves and run with it.


I'm sure you all have a fair few punches hiding in your stash so let's see them put to work!

Don't forget to link up your creation below, and why not check out the inspiring projects from the rest of the Girlfriends too?

Have fun,
Jayne.x.
