Challenge #691 - Somebody to Love

Happy Challenge Before Valentine's Day! I've decided to use Queen's greatest hits to inspire my challenge choices this year and, for the first, have chosen my very favourite Queen song: Somebody to Love. This challenge is the perfect opportunity for you to work on any outstanding Valentine's Day projects you might have.

I recently saw a You Tube video by Gerry's Craft Room on which I based the idea for my card.

Please check out the Girlfriends' projects below for inspiration - and then link up your own "Somebody to Love" creation. I can't wait to see what you've made!

Challenge #690 - Feature Warm Drinks

Here we are at Wednesday again and Iʻm up for challenge duties. I know many of you have been dealing with cold, snowy weather recently so I thought it would be fun to see your creations featuring warm drinks. Iʻm a coffee girl myself, but Iʻm looking forward to seeing hot chocolate, tea, maybe even a hot toddy or two. You are not limited to making cards for this challenge. We would love to see art journal pages, bookmarks, maybe even a k-cup caddy or teabag holder.

Hereʻs what happened for me -

Why not grab a cuppa and see what the Girlfriends have linked and then share your own creation with us!

Challenge # 689 - Happy, Happy Birthday!

Happy Wednesday, all. This week the challenge is "Happy, Happy Birthday!" which means we want to see those birthday creations!

And remember, we're not just about cards. We'd love to see your scrapbook layout, tag, bookmark, pocket page, altered project...any papercraft goes!

This is what I did...

I made the sentiment the star of the card. I also added a little die cut 2 for a bit of fun since this card is for my oldest who's turning, you guessed it, 22.

Everybody has a birthday, so you have no excuse not to join us this week to add a birthday make to your stash. If you would like more inspiration, visit the Girlfriends to see what marvelous creations they have made.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Challenge #688 - Sea You Then!

Wednesday greetings all! Shani here today with my first turn hosting the challenge. I've chosen 'Sea You Then!' as the theme, which just means anything sea related goes – fish, beaches, shells, lighthouses, etc. It doesn't have to be a card either, any papercraft projects are welcome.

I decided to make a SEAsonal Christmas card.

I used my Crafts-too Presscut step card die for the base, a sea themed Polkadoodles Papercrafter magazine digital freebie as the focal point, with coordinating Prettygrafik digital papers. Starfish embellishments and a ric-rac die-cut top it off.

Be sure to check out what the other girlfriends have linked up below. We can't wait to SEA what you create!

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!
