I recently found a fun new group on Facebook that has a great blog. You can check out their blog here http://tgifchallenges.blogspot.com/. They are featuring fun challenges that their designers participate in and we can participate in the fun as well. So I thought this would be a great way to challenge me a little as well. Here was the first challenge.
I had so much fun with the challenge the I actually created 3 projects. So I thought I would share all three. I really do love how well these colors work together.
I really love how this one turned out. I liked the card with just the hearts but I really loved it when I added the little extra touches like the buttons with ribbon and the heart bubble.
Here’s a quick list of supplies:
#137364 Happy Heart Texture Impressions Embossing Folder $7.95
#113439 Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine $99.95

#137856 Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers $3.95

Groovy Love

This was the second card I made and probably my favorite. I just love how it turned out. So just a note the feathers on this card are included in the carry over items from the Holiday Catalog. They are not listed in the new catalog so I’m not sure they will continue to carry over. That means if you didn’t get them already and love them like I do be sure to get them now.
Here’s a little closer look at the feathers and the words. I really love how it looks. One quick note on the background. I stamped off first before stamping my white card-stock so that it would be a bit lighter.

So my last project I thought it would be fun to use these colors to create my own Project Life card for my page.
The one thing about project life is that it’s hard to get a good picture when the pages are in the page protector. I actually attached the extra elements to the page protector instead of the actual pictures so I couldn’t take the pictures out for the picture.
I took out the center card and took a close up picture so you could see how easy it was to make this simple card for this page. I used one of the grid cards to make it easy for journaling. I love this stamp set and punch for Project life it just works so well with everything. Remember this awesome stamp set and punch is on the retired list so be sure to get them before they are gone for good.

I just love love those feathers… I never want to see them go. I adore your card. Fabulous! Can’t wait to see what you come up with in the next challenges at TGIF!
Cathy, Thanks so much. I love the feathers too. I though for sure they would be in the new catalog. I hope they stay on a carry over list at least.
Wow! Three projects! Isn’t it great when something is so inspiring? Thanks for joining us at TGIF!
