Challenge #851 - It's Still Rock and Roll to Me

Happy Wednesday! It's Kate here and I'm still moving along through Billy Joel hits as a means to spark inspiration. This time, I am singing "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" and I'm looking for anything vintage or retro.

I decided to go a bit retro with a rotary phone as the highlight of my card.

What will you create? For inspiration, check out the Girlfriends' (marked DT) projects below.

Challenge #850 - Signs of Spring

I live in a tropical paradise, but have noticed signs that spring is upon us. We have beautiful florals and color all year round, but come March you start to see tiny avocados and mangos forming and the plumeria trees quit shedding their leaves. I am beginning to see all those miracles so my challenge to you is to create something that illustrates signs of spring in your area. This could mean using spring colors, typical spring flowers. trees budding or the return of birds that leave for winter. Maybe you would like to use baby animals or something Easter inspired.

I used yellow and green which are spring colors to me and this darling little fawn to create this card -

Don´t forget, you can link to anything that fits the topic - we love seeing all of your papercrafts. Link your project below using the InLinkz. Be sure to check out the Girlfriends.. They are linked with a "DT" in the name and will surely inspire you with their creations.

The Story

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis to use some of the supplies they have acquired. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!
